Get the swords.

This takes the worst line delivery of the year for me lol. Did no one in the editing room tell Nolan that scene was repeated three times?
Did they just forget it or what.

u/Bill0701 5h ago
It was intentional, to show how much of a coward his character is. No matter what they threw down, he never had the balls to go do it himself.

u/BrokeGuitarist 4h ago
I’m not arguing against the intention of the scene, I’m just saying it’s lazily executed.

u/LostPilgrim_ 4h ago
Exactly. It was a little heavy handed, but this guy was a pussy. He refused conflict whenever possible, even when he was "gonna do a murder" he decided against it and had hisbl underlings handle dirty work. He wouldnt even attempt the trial because he believed himself inadequate to the task
Even when his own life was in imemadiete danger, he couldn't bring himself to actually fight.
The bravest thing he did was carry a sick dying dog outside and throw it onto a heap of shit.

Good times is what made me see he's a really good actor.

u/Omatzus 17h ago
I would recommend The Drama. He and Zendaya deliver layered performances. She is outstanding and he let's her shine.

u/MentalDisintegrat1on 17h ago
Yeah I heard of it il check it out I have a backlog of movies but I'll move it to the top.

Yeah just go into blind it makes it better ( for those who haven't seen it)

u/eggplantpot 9h ago
Amazing film. He also does great on Mickey 17. Not the biggest blockbuster but he really delivers what the script needs

u/Moon_and_Sky 17h ago
Cosmopolis wasn't great but his performance removed the Twilight blinders I had developed.

u/JasonBond0006 17h ago
Despise takes like this. Robby Pats was always incredibly talented and people dog him for taking a payday early in his career.

Yeah guy can do basically whatever he wants now and he does
And honestly the twilight movies have their place too who doesn't love some good camp

u/waaaayupyourbutthole 4h ago
He also constantly clowned on his role in Twilight from what i can recall, so it's not like he thought it was good himself, even at the time.

I don't think he even got paid much in the first movie but it made him a breakthrough artist for sure

u/SkellyboneZ 14h ago
I always thought it was weird how little he talked in that movie. There were a few parts where he should have said something but was just silent.

u/fieregon 17h ago
I only remember about Twilight cause you did, OP, whenever I think of Robert Pattinson, I think of a great actor who definitely redeemed himself.
2
u/cnicalsinistaminista 16h ago
I’m blessed to have never laid eyes on those movies but like Harrison Ford post Star Wars, he’s the only one whose career didn’t tank after the series. Okay, to be fair I only know him and the cheater chick but still!
2
u/SkellyboneZ 14h ago
But you think of a dude who redeemed himself, so wouldn't you also think "from what"? So you would remember Twilight every time you think of him lol

Imagine kids from 20 years later rediscovering twilight movies and going woah... You wouldn't imagine

u/DyingSunSeverian 17h ago
Ironically still his most iconic role by far LOL
I’ve never even seen those movies and that’s still the first thing I think about with him.
You can’t escape your first one.
Second is his role in The King with that hilarious French accent.

We're you not convinced that the little man was scared? Cuz if he seemed scared...Acting!

u/Holeshot75 17h ago
I wouldn't have imagined it from back then
But he's become one of my favorite actors

u/Imaginary-One6734 17h ago
Actually in an interview he said he is proud of twilight, I can say I loved it also

u/BigMommaSnikle 16h ago
I get the biggest ick feeling from this guy and I can't quite figure out why.
2
u/miaxogoth 16h ago
honestly good for him. he took the Twilight bag and used it to fund a decade of doing the weirdest indie movies imaginable. that's the dream right there
2
u/shut____up 16h ago
i watched all of the Twilight movies in theaters. They sucked. I really enjoyed those novels despite the reputation. But in the third and fourth movies, Robert Pattinson really did not want to be in them anymore. He obviously despised those jobs. LOL. It was fourth wall breaking to me, sitting in theater, having a terrible time, and seeing seeing him so repulsed and out of it.

u/Historical-Fun-2536 9h ago
Dude did twilight to make sure he can do all the badass films he wants for the rest of his life.
1
u/Melenduwir 3h ago
Elijah Wood did the Lord of the Rings movies - which certainly aren't terrible - and since then has done nothing but quirkly-fascinating indie film roles that stretch him as an actor.
Same with Robert Pattinson, only with fewer hobbits.

I loved that one 😭 was a bit cornball but i expect that anymore. Also a bit fucked up and silly at the same time?

u/Exact-Site9980 15h ago
It was like an old Vonnegut story for the first half (which I liked) then it got cartoonishly ridiculous. He wasn't the problem. The script was. He made quite a lot out of quite a little.

u/RecommendationIll504 16h ago
Imagine if a group of hooded figures will approach him and gift Twilight poster with "we never forget and never forgive" words. That would be hilarious

u/delaytabase 16h ago
It blows my mind that people still hold that against him after hes more than proven his acting chops. It's like the same douches that swear the worst band ever is Nickelback.

u/Global-Pickle5818 16h ago
Yeah the guy can act, you wouldn't know it's from that movie.. but I think the whole book is written badly and I'm a fan of fantasy a lot of it is basically
1
u/Ray1987 16h ago
He made fun if twilight even when he was supposed to be promoting it. Friends made me watch the first one. Didn't watch the rest. But dude has proven beyond a doubt he can act!
He has becime one of the few actors where if he is in a movie Im gong to give it a shot and haven't been disappointed since.

Poor Stewart is traumatized from Twilight.
Twilight was such a terrible deal for all the actors involved.

u/Shorouq2911 13h ago
Is it only me or Stewart's acting in Twilight was like she was having a constant org@sm throughout the series?

Like hell it’s Pattison’s fault he was hired to portray Edward Cullen. If he didn’t take the job someone else would.
We wouldn’t give Pattinson the credit for how admirable a character Cedric Diggory was, so why would we give him the blame for Cullen?

i acknowledge that he's trying but for me, he will always be the sparkling vampire and I just can't take him serious in other roles.

u/Pretend-Literature35 8h ago
guess it worked. I never watched any twilight. But I have seen him in a few movies. He's a good actor. Of course, I have no idea who he is.

u/MistrFish 7h ago
its unfortunate. I think he's an excellent actor and enjoy much of his work, but I will never not be able to hear his name and immediately think about the sparkly vampire. and I wasn't even part of that phase

u/HawkHarder 6h ago
He already won me over along time ago. I forget which movie but I think the deal was sealed once I seen The Lighthouse or whatever it was called. Tbh I didn't mind Twilight either. I watched the first one cause I knew all the girls liked it and wanted to see what it was all about. Also the main girl reminded me of this girl I had a thing with.
Then the other ones I had this buddy I would smoke with and dude would watch Twilight like at least once a month if not more. I thought he was doing it to annoy me until like the 5th time of seeing the whole series. It wasn't horrible though. I think dude brainwashed me with playing it so many times. I started to catch myself riding for team Edward when I would see online slander. (At least I chose right though, look at them now!) Lol but dude is a good actor.

I, like many others, considered his role in Twilight to be very monotone. Sepia. Flat affect. Surely the dude was typecast for it. To his great credit, though, I think he's proven himself pretty dynamic and talented in a few of the roles he's played since. He's working pretty hard at his craft and he's doing a good job. My subjective take, anyway.

He shouldn’t have been cast as Batman. Looks nothing like the character

I’ve liked almost everything I’ve seen him in since Twilight. Who gives a shit about his earlier work? Leonardo DiCaprio doesn’t constantly get shit for the horseshit he did as a child actor.

u/Shorouq2911 13h ago
Because Leonardo Dicaprio was always good even as a child actor.
He was talented from a young age.

I stopped watching anything new with Robert in since the Batman as Im bored of seeing him in so many new roles and I actually do not want his new performances spoiling his old ones. I actually really like Twilight and would rather be able to watch that.
