How Robert Pattinson Pulled Off A Hollywood Miracle

For a big part of his career, it seemed Robert Pattinson would forever be associated with the Twilight Saga. Though, he wasn't the biggest fan of Twilight in general, so Robbert Pattinson set out to change audience perspective. Working on some critically acclaimed indie projects, Robert Pattinson escaped Twilight by showing off his range as an actor, and choosing the right projects at the right time. But what movie specifically separated him from the sparkling vampires of Twilight?

What some people don't get about Robert is that he's not a bad actor, Edward Cullen is a bad character, and he portrayed him marvelously. He was so good that everyone thought it was him and his acting, but he was actually living the boring cardboard character he had to play for that film. But he wanted more, he wanted to grow and learn, and he has done it in an amazing way.

[@RanOutOfSpac]

The funny thing is, even with the terrible character, terrible writing, and terrible direction, he’s still the best actor in the franchise. Now that’s something.

[@valentinabell4263]

This applies verily to Kristen Stewart as well (but not Lautner I'm afraid)

[@DeathnoteBB]

@@valentinabell4263It’s depressing how many people think Bella IS Kristen Stewart. Like they can’t fathom that’s the character, not bad acting

[@mudhamartin1162]

Um, the character is what the actor, writer, and director bring to it. To imply the actor has no responsibility in the character's portrayal is to not understanding the process of bringing a character to life on the screen.

[@theanonymouscritic1710]

Robert Pattinson played the part of Edward Cullen very well. An emotionally stunted vampire who’s stuck in a purgatory like state of being permanently 17, full of self loathing but at the same time has to exercise a lot self control to not drink his human girlfriends blood doesn’t fit the definition of boring.

[@nylal493]

As someone who read the books (I loved them as a teenager, don’t judge😂), Pattinson literally played Edward EXACTLY as he was written. His character was awkward and super corny. He wasn’t even acting badly in twilight, he was just portraying what was given to him.

[@gilly_axolotl]

I didn't even read the books or watch the movies and even I think that people are way too "shocked" by his good acting just bc he was in twilight

[@BereniceAllanPoe]

I read all the books too! It was light entertainment for teenagers, nothing to be ashamed of. Boys get to like their "teenage entertainment" well into their 40's, so... 🙄 And yes, Edward was a bad character all around 😂 even then, the fact he watched a girl sleep entering her room every night, even BEFORE they were a thing, gave me goosebumps. And he was so damn boring, dear lord lol exactly the w3t dream of a 45ish yo christian woman, go figure 👀

I love his story with him calling his agent and saying that he wanted to try out for Batman. His agent was surprised and said that she thought all he wanted to play was total freaks, and Pattinson responded with "Well he is a freak, he's like a different kind of freak."

[@matthewjuarbe5826]

he took the batman role seriously. he got into shape. I know people were like he is too skinny no he wasn't skinny he was lean muscle there is a difference. he was 176lbs of lean muscle. to compare Christian bale was 189lbs. only a 13lbs difference. Michael Keaton was only 160lbs and no one complained. for me personally i bought the 4K UHD version. and the only negative for me was the film was a little too long. for me putting it at 2h 30mins plus credits would have made better pacing.

I dont agree with that tbh, what made that movie was the location, the work they did, the bgm and then the acting, they both acted well but they were still kind of carcatures, you can replace them with any other good actor and it would still be the same, replace robert with christian bale or even leo and you wont notice much difference, maybe they will make it better with their screen presence, especially leo, dafoe can also be replaced with someone of the same calibur. Like there are some characters which only one can play for dafoe it would be his green goblin, no one can replace him their or brando in godfather, he is the only guy who can pull it off.

I wouldn’t even say it was putting in the work because some actors/actresses destroy their careers with a role and never get out of that pit. He’s definitely one of a kind

[@burnerdaughter]

I like this assessment because I think it does say something about his respect for his craft. He didn't expect notoriety to lead to a successful career, he invested in smaller projects to build his experience and resume so when the twilight franchise finished he could come out swinging with a lot more range and acclaim.

[@BrendanPappas]

Robert Pattinson really is a quintessential example of an extremely talented actor getting a tough break with a casting that would make pretty much anyone a bit of a cultural outcast. He went from starring in one of the most ridiculed film franchises of all time to what I honestly think is the best live-action portrayal of Batman yet (though I understand that is debatable). I truly regret mocking him for the Twilight movies in hindsight.

@@crukih7527 oh I’m with you 100%. The Dark Knight has better pacing, a more interesting story, a far better villain, and still an excellent version of Batman. It’s a superior film in almost every way, as well as the greatest live action Batman movie ever. But I honestly think “The Batman” is the second best, and it was the edgy and subversive superhero movie that we needed at the time.

[@EmmaKielty-cm8xv]

I think Andrew Garfield's career is evolving in a somewhat similar way to Pattinson's. Going from feeling trapped in the movie making "machine" after Amazing Spider-Man 2, using theatre as a back door in the same way Pattinson used indie films, and finally making a comeback in blockbusters with Indie sensibilities. Tik Tik Boom was his Lighthouse Edit: I know Garfield and Pattinson have not had totally identical careers which is why I said "Somewhat similar". The biggest difference being Pattinson had a far deeper hole to dig himself out of while Garfield had a lot of success before and after TASM 2. I mainly just thought they had interesting parallels in that they both got road blocked by really bad Hollywood blockbusters and had to do substantial work to get back on track

[@StarryEyed0590]

Would you say No Way Home was his The Batman, then? A big budget franchise movie that showed the issues with his previous franchise was the writing and not the acting?

[@Professor-id4jh]

It's weird that I always felt that Andrew's Spider-man was the most real Spider-man we could have ever got. I never hated the movies even.

I feel like Kristen Stewart deserves a video like this too. Like Robert, she also reinvented herself by choosing a better career path and doing smaller, critically acclaimed indies and dramas after Twilight. From being a punchline to a respected Oscar nominated actress for playing Princess Diana was no easy feat and should be talked about more.

[@planescaped]

Almost everything I've seen her in she's been awful even after Twilight... >__> I just never bought her in roles or found her believable, and her facial expressions often come off as distractingly overacted. But then again, I haven't seen her in anything for a long time.

[@bernardsoh3559]

I actually dismissed Kristen Stewart after Twilight (I actually liked the other characters including Robert Pattinson) but Kristen was really bad. Until I started watching some of the movies post-Twilight and realized she wasn’t as bad as I thought she was. So, Twilight was good but Twilight was also unfair to characters who played their roles splendidly. Err… did I say Twilight was good? Redaction, please.

I only saw _Twilight_ because it starred Kristen Stewart who moved me to tears from her performance in _Speak._ Having Cedric Diggory from Harry Potter and the director of _Thirteen_ were also convincing. I ended up really mad at my friends for dragging me along to the theater and for thinking the resumes of the director and stars were proof the movie would be good.

He's been acting for a long time and his characters like the night stalker are an obvious statement of the talent he has. Pattinson surprised me with batman and I started to like him and then after watching the Lighthouse I knew the dude had that special skill as an artist that he's able to bring the viewers attention in and make his character interesting and hold the imagination. His acting in the lighthouse is on another level . But yeah Gyllenhaal is set a a part as an actor

Both Robert Pattinson and Daniel Radcliffe became famous for playing the main character of a beloved fantasy series.

People need to realize that just because someone may have been fitted with a less than popular role, it doesn't mean they have no talent. A lot of the time, a poor performance could be linked back to the direction they were given. You could have one of the best actors in the world playing Edward, but without good direction they wouldn't fare much better. And when it came to the announcement that he was playing Batman, I waited to reserve my judgement, and I'm glad I did.

[@anonview]

My mom, who had a very sharp intuition when it came to people, always said that she had a good feeling about Robert Pattinson. And this was when she'd first seen him as Edward from Twilight. She was right. Robert's not just talented but also hard-working and disciplined enough to learn about the characters he's playing. He's not taking his unique looks, connections, and fans for granted. And he knows how to play the long game, especially in an industry where your candle could burn out as quickly as it was lit.

[@zsoltbartus169]

7:39 - this line about extreme and unusual fits perfectly to Dan Radcliffe too.

[@prench]

well done Robert.

[@awesome_wow8622]

Remember Me should be mentioned more often. It made me cry for many reasons, one of my favorite roles of his, such a good movie, i could really feel the emotion through his character

[@jmaths117]

Good time one of the best character portrayals ever by Robert Pattinson. The man can ACT. He’s for real, very very good.

[@ItsNuxFury]

Man, do I love Robert Pattinson. Dude's a phenomenal actor.

[@ciromelmann20]

Also, we can tell his career is going to continue in this good streak as he is in The Boy and the Heron (dir. Hayao Miyazaki) and the lead in Mickey 17 (dir. Bong Joon-ho). And of course The Batman: Part II

[@obinnammerem5104]

that was an awesome review, from start to finish.

[@MrMisanthrope84]

The Lighthouse is one of the best films I have seen in a long time. Absolutely brilliant.

[@zsoltbartus169]

After LightHouse I went totally the opposite with my opinion on Pattinson than how I seen him before. It was absolutely mindblowing, and loved his Batman movie too. So yup. After twilight, I managed to accept Pattinson's talent. Stewart on the other hand, couldnt do anything to have the same. 😅

[@The_RedVIII]

Kristen Stewart literally was just Oscar nominated. She has put in some work too.

[@zsoltbartus169]

@@The_RedVIII sure. And we all know oscar is actually the most prominent, most honest rewarding ever... On paper only. Dont be silly. Also, why should I care about oscars again when it comes to PERSONAL opinions?!

[@MoonOvIce]

Yeah, I don't understand. She is made of wood, is expressionless and is one of those people that always basically play themselves. She is not very different from character to character and we she tries to emote a little bit, it comes as unnatural and cringy. How some people not only get to be actors but even become that big while being terrible, is beyond me. At least Nic Cage is crazy and kind of hilarious in his own special way. But this woman has nothing (at least imo).

[@PrinceJayReal]

Willem Dafoe is as good as any other living actor, he performed to the peak of his abilities in The Lighthouse, and Pattinson perfectly kept up with him. That should say everything you need to know.

[@happyMOO5]

this was a very good insightful video. sometimes your videos come across like an ai script recreating wiki pages with no human interest in the actual project. this was a great step forward. keep up the great work!

[@Dizzeke]

i loved the twilight books and all the actors in the movies portrayed the characters immaculately. the "bad acting" was bad writing, not bad acting. i loved the movies so much because unlike many adaptations of books, they were flawless. it was as if i was reading the books again watching them. robert pattinson was always one of my favorite actors because of this franchise.

[@TheDarkbluerock]

Never saw Twilight, remember the memes though. After seeing him in other films recently, I'm glad he escaped that. He's passionate about his craft and delivers some great performances.

[@brandiepop]

it is insane what he pulled off and its in large part because of safdie brothers, he has some of the greatest performances ever in the batman, the lighthouse and good time its insane

[@ApplePi3.]

Pattinson & Radcliffe did such a good job and not letting themselves get type cast.

[@lauralangham9657]

Pattinson should have been at least nominated for an Oscar by now. It will happen one day soon.

[@kins1894]

The Rover is such an underrated movie

[@the-berries-and-cream-dude]

I think he was very smart to go into indie movies instead of taking blockbuster films. But I feel he did something that many actors in his spot don’t do. Many want to be taken seriously but don’t strived to become better. Rob did, he put in the time and hard work to become a better actor and it payed off.

[@Dreadfulwretch]

Matt Reeves saw Goodtime and loved Robs performance and after seeing it he thought there’s my Batman

[@Stormwind74]

One of the best videos about Pattinson's evolution... I loved his first acting (How To Be is still one of my faves) all the way to his amazing performance in The Batman!!! He gave a soul to each single character he played, good and bad... He's funny and kinda chaotic in his interviews as much as he is dedicated and fully immersed in the role while he's playing... On a side note, he did a great Edward Cullen! One might not like the franchise, and he didn't seem to like it either, but his character was spot on! Can't wait to see his next movie!! 🌟

[@gansior4744]

He made huge money early on Twilight. It gave him a safe net to experiment artistically. He wanted to show his talent, not to make money

[@fobbitoperator3620]

As I see it, I think he portrayed the best Batman, much like Heath portrayed the best Joker. Talent, respect for his craft, & it's source material. As the decades pass, Pattinson just may be the UK's young iteration of our (Yanks) Tom Cruise. Both are literal "acting multi-tools!"

[@Char13n3_17]

He was also amazing in the boy and the Heron! His voice was completely unrecognisable! Very talented and one of my fav actors!

[@FukuchiTwins]

wish you had talked about "the lighhouse" more. it made me respect pattingson again. i feel in love w that movie.

[@KingDeuces22]

I know it’s super cool and hip to hate on things like Twilight with the hurr hurr “tWiLiGhT sux” routine but tbh most of the acting was exactly as it was intended to be. Robert and Stewart played these characters spot on; it’s just a cheesy, teen romance that isn’t nearly as awful or bad as people like to dogpile with their internet + Nickelback takes. Not every performance needs to come with the baggage of 3 years of getting into character. Sometimes the story is the point, and sometimes that story is simple. Has absolutely no problem with the first 3 Twilight films. Last two weren’t great though.

[@nickamalfitano3613]

I loved Robert Pattinson in "The Devil all the Time". That movie gave me a respect for both him and Tom Holland. He is truly opposite of the plank of wood Kristen Stewart

[@chriscrowe11]

that movie has so many flaws but tom and rob's performances were just enough to carry it into being a good film. They did awesome

[@marasmusine]

I watched The Devil all the Time and 99 Homes, back to back and by happenstance, so I saw two spidermans Tom Holland and Andrew Garfield put on great performances.

[@nickamalfitano3613]

@@chriscrowe11 I couldn't find that many holes, the movie pulled me in to their reality

[@navidhudson7065]

That plank of wood Stewart took the same career path just as him and has thrived very well too

[@kjooni]

At this point he's not just an actor, he's an artist. He continuously seek out projects or works that interest him and that he knows would help him do better at what he does. The commitment, I'm tellin' yah

[@mercontheeagle]

I always knew Robert was a fantastic actor and had done some really great films, I think because a lot of them were indie films people were not really interested in them as much as others. I remember when he was cast as Batman and everyone was doubting him, but I knew that he was going to do a phenomenal job

[@barbarabaker1457]

When people said sparkle boy was not a good fit for Batman, I reminded them Beetlejuice became Batman too. Acting capability is far more important than a role they once did

[@ricopaulson1]

Best Batman to date. I really like Reeves and Pattison's take on the universe. It's not perfect but either was Nolan's go. With Nolan's 3rd movie I can't get past Bale's voice. It has not aged well.

[@Savmz]

Rob is by far my fav live action cast for bruce wayne/batman Im SO glad people are giving him a chance and loving it as much as i am He is my batman.

[@jackie38401]

Excellent actor in everything he has done , and also an excellent musician...his voice and song writing works are amazing.
