Kristen Stewart Fails at Acting; Still Pretty Hot

It’s a bit embarrassing to admit, but the other day I gave in to curiosity and watched the teen vampire flick, Twilight. To summarize my thoughts, it was pretty terrible.

Unless you’re a 13 year old girl who’s in love with the eyebrow monster vampire, Robert Pattinson, I think you’ll find it pretty hard to sit through the film’s brooding, juvenile tone. But judging from its success at the box office, I guess that’s exactly what its viewers are asking for.

You see, I remember growing up with awesome movies like Robocop and Total Recall - masterpieces of storytelling and violence. Sure, they were a little light in the romance department, but when you have explosions and gunfire in almost every single frame, you’re hardly going to miss it! But I digress…

Regarding the plot in Twilight, very little happens; it feels rather like a filler episode from some weekly teen melodrama series:

Basically, a girl meets a guy, someone gets angry, and then the credits start rolling. After they’ve done about five of these films, I think it’ll make a lot more sense to just queue up all the movie trailers and watch them in sequence. Seriously, they just didn’t deliver enough of anything in this film!

Acting wise, it’s a mixed bag. Robert Pattinson, with his British heritage, offers a bit of depth and mystery to his character, but unfortunately he’s tied to a silly script that makes him seem suspiciously homosexual, and perhaps partially retarded.

Kirsten Stewart in comparison, downright butchers her lines. Couldn’t we just have our vampire fall in love with a sexy blood producing comatose patient? I mean, what does a 100 year old man have in common with a high school girl, anyway? His ‘need’ for her seems highly contrived and unrealistic.

Despite my personal disdain for Kristen Stewart’s acting, I’m sure some misguided fan will post a video collage of her ‘best moments’ on Youtube. In fact, I’ve already seen some of this crap the other day. I don’t know what I find more hilarious: Kirsten Stewart’s attempt at acting, or her fan’s warped perception of her abilities.

So is there anything that I like about Twilight?

Well, Kristin Stewart is pretty cute – I have no problems admitting that. She’s attractive in an unconventional way. She’s hot, but doesn’t really act like she’s hot. But yet she knows full well that she’s hot. And that brings out a subtle hotness in her, if you get what I’m saying. But from a sober perspective I think her hotness is probably more rooted to her youth and unblemished looks than to anything else. Regardless, I’ll settle for whatever I can take away from this film, even if it’s just the confirmation that I won’t be seeing the sequel. Well, unless Kristen Stewart gets naked or something…

Twilight gets a 3/10.

    I totally back that.Ever since i have watched that movie i have been wanting to know whether everyone felt the way i did.Coz Kristen Stewart in the movie gave in a very very very poor performance.If u ask me it spoiled the entire movie.They should have atleast casted someone else as Bella in the second part.
    There is a scene that i would like to mention where she is being called on by her friends to join them while she waits for “the guy who behaved weirdly in the lab”to ask him wat was bothering him(Robert Pattinson)…and the expression she gives in return to that is horrible,hilarious,is tat even acting???.I wished tat she wasnt there in the movie at all for i couldnt stand her facial expressions…which actually didnt mean anything at all…the book was totally spoilt in the movie …and if u ask me i dont understand whether it was Kristen stewart or something else..But it was surely a waste of time and anticipation!!!!
    Thank you.

    The movie was absolutely horrifying, and i don’t mean that in an “Awesome horror movie!” way, i mean that in “It’s so cheesy and her botox expressions made me want too throw up” way.
    I’ve been reading other critics opinions on Stewarts performance to see if anyone agreed that she was apalling, and all the comments were filled with “stop bashin n her h8ers! jst bcoz she gets 2 kiss edward cullen, ur all jealous and inscure!”
    I don’t know whether too laugh at the comments or be concerned for my generation.
    As for Kristen, she is pretty on film, but she’s rude and arrogant in real life; often with a stoner face,and in serious need of a happy meal. I’ve contemplated whether she has down-syndrome.

    Perhaps that’s a little too harsh. But the Kristen fans kind of make even more irritated by her.

    As for your article, i agree with you 100%
    I applaud you sir :D

    I totally agree – the only skill Kristen Stewart has at acting is breathing heavily (she must have learned that in the movie Panic Room) and leaving her mouth hanging open. So disappointed by both her performances, I won’t be seeing Eclipse, I am going to read the book again instead. I wish they would have had an open casting call for the Bella character, shame on Stephanie Meyer for letting Kristen ruin her character.

    Well, kristen stuart is actually good in look wise.. But you guys are rite.. She sucks in her acting in the film. Its not because she doesn’t know to act, she might have thought tat she was really acting cool and casual, you know, just to make sure it was realistic. If it was so, she din do a good job. I personally think this must be the directer’s advise. Or i maybe wrong. But anyways open mouthed in the whole film was really irritating. It was like i really wanted to shut her up.
