The Game: Kingdom Hearts II (PS2)
The Star: Mena Suvari as Aerith
Mena Suvari sure is easy on the eyes. But without her ample assets to backup her acting, her digital performance falls flat. Take Kingdom Hearts II for example. The choppy impersonal delivery of her lines as Aerith, grates our ears with... unnatural pauses... every... few... syllables.
Suvari’s robotic line-reading makes her stand out like a sore thumb every time she speaks. But it’s her high pitched inflections - that adds a parenthetical question mark to nearly everything she says - which makes her portrayal of Final Fantasy’s most famous female, Aerith truly creepy.
