I would just hope that people could look a little deeper at a performance before writing it off, and ask, WHY is this character being portrayed this way? Because here, it's clear as day to me at least that it's being portrayed this way because that's how the character is WRITTEN. But alas. :PChris Widdophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976278029088673041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6997580999403129485.post-46683723820357346642016-09-22T04:57:29.475-04:002016-09-22T04:57:29.475-04:00The actress is just portraying the character accor...The actress is just portraying the character according to the books.

And yeah, it would appear there are more of us who appreciate Kristen Stewart's performances than I thought, I think it might be an instance where the negative backlash is just so loud that it drowns out the appraisal sadly.

She is an amazing actress who refuses to play the Hollywood game. I'm glad to see her getting the accolades she deserves.Cwattersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17504090655139523441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6997580999403129485.post-90170083921666226362016-08-31T06:07:53.847-04:002016-08-31T06:07:53.847-04:00Well said, Chris!

I can definitely see the flaws in the series, and just like every other franchise that has a 'Part 1 and Part 2', they were padded out, but Twilight doesn't deserve the hate it gets! I felt like one of the few that enjoyed Kristen Stewart's performances.<br />- AllieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10938589355281359827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6997580999403129485.post-4515156001738574082016-08-30T22:13:37.141-04:002016-08-30T22:13:37.141-04:00Thanks, Katy!

I'm just glad I got this series behind me now and am able to form my own opinion on it now, rather than relying on the fairly inaccurate way it had been described to me for so many years. :P<br /><br />Also happy that you can appreciate what Kristen Stewart does. Slowly but surely, one by one, we're gonna change people's perception of her as an actor. ;)Chris Widdophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976278029088673041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6997580999403129485.post-91787857357231107542016-08-30T19:18:04.142-04:002016-08-30T19:18:04.142-04:00Nice review of the series!

But honestly they were just fun to watch. Sometimes *big* movies inevitably bring out an excessive and irrational amount of backlash for no reason like the sparkling vamps or KStew. Neither were really a big deal, and KStew is amazing. She's super underrated, and it was a shame during the Twilight franchise how people hated on her introverted personality. I think a lot of people think "loud acting" is good acting when actors really emote or go through an arc in a big theatrical way, but that's not necessarily true. Some of the best performances are more subtle, and she always delivers something good. :DKatyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00287429151542133314noreply@blogger.com
