From Harry Potter: Goblet of Fire to The Lighthouse to Batman, Robert Pattinson has carved out a career as an actor that's very unique. Going from the teen idol of Twilight to the star of Chris Nolan's next film. In this video I try to look at his movies in-depth and talk about what has changed through the years.

captainmidnight it’s gotta be good time, he was absolutely amazing in that
Favourite is probably Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire
Oh Captain my captain... there's a reason why the meme "still a better love story than twilight" exists in regards to the least favorite.
@@knightofanguish7399 Good point
Good Time is his best film for me atleast until I see The Lighthouse next year.
I think people need to stop blaming actors for bad movies
exactlyyyyy, at least majority of the time.
You can't really do much with a bad script if you're an actor, lol
You should tell that to all the Batfleck haters
@@DynestiGTI they already know. Ben acted fine but the bat was still trash. Still love Ben tho
its inevitable, like in any other job you're also responsible yourself for the projects you chose...but I agree that bad roles fucked up some good actors careers
This man has completely leveled up and turned into one of the best actors of the decade, yet most people only know him for being a sparkly vampire, I just hope more people start to see how great of an actor he is
@kshiftkometh I think he's great. Don't be offensive even if you don't like him, just be more respectful
Now that he took on the role of Batman he'll turn public perception around
@@godot8694 I hope
Tyrin Beal totally agree.
@@godot8694 I'm worried. I want him to do well. I want Batman to get a decent movie again. I just don't know if... Warner Brothers is it? I don't know if they have what it takes to find a decent script. Honestly, Batfleck nailed everything I wanted in the caped crusader. With a script that's actually any good he would have outshined every single Batman before him.
Again, just hoping Pattinson gets better treatment... cause Affleck damn well deserved better.
Heath Ledger started also on cheesy teen movies. Let that sink in.
those were actually good tho
Heath Ledger
Ryan Gosling
Robert Pattinson
They were all known for their romance works. When people heard about Ledger being the Joker, it was a common notion that he wouldn't do well in such a gritty role, when it contrasted his "10 Things I Hate About You" and "A Knight's Tale". I didn't even recognize him in The Dark Knight. Also, all his romance films had pretty solid acting and writing. Alan Tudyk in A Knight's Tale (I love Firefly, so a little bias here) and 10 Things I Hate About You with Joseph Gordon-Levitt (solid actor, enjoyed his enthusiasm with the Snowden role. You could tell he really cared about the whole issue, especially with his Hit-Play record series.)
How dare you compare the masterpiece "10 Things I Hate About You" to "Twilight"?
@@tanzeemahmed7196
I must have a jet-black heart. I compared The Dark Knight to Slumdog Millionaire once. I can't be stopped.
@@diegouy8277 Wait am I the only person in the world who actually likes Slumdog?
A vampire who became a bat, seems about right.
Holy shit, I've never thought about it like that. You're right.
this made me laugh 😂
*That’s his final evolution*
That's stupid opinion, I saw twilight than Bruce wayne. DR. Strange will beat Batman in 2021 due to terrible casting
Drink Coffee don’t judge a book by its cover
Nobody hates Twilight more than the cast of Twilight themselves
Which is pretty unprofessional in my opinion. Yes the movies were awful but the actors knew about the reputation of the books and they knew exactly what they were getting into. They were happy to take the massive amounts of money and fame they got out of it and now they are trashtalking those movies at every chance they get in order to appeal to their matured audiences.
@@forensikarie This doesnt really make sense. In a way it does, but ypu have to understand that if they dont like a show or movie, they don't like it. They took a role and saw where it would go. You wouldnt have the same opinion if the movies had not gotten viewers and had just overall flopped. Getting a role is a risky thing. It could Jumpstart or destroy your career, or just be nothing.
@@forensikarie i think that theyre 'allowed' to hate on the movies, but they should be thankful for the opportunity, since most of them got more noticed because of them..
@@alexandrar4572 I agree. I think that they should be like "yeah the movies themselves aren't great but I don't regret them. I'm still grateful for what the did for me." and also acknowledge that they aren't absolutely horrible like everyone pretends they are. they are charming in their own way. I think completely shitting on them is unprofessional. like those movies made you bro, shut up and get off your high horse. cuz nowadays people just want to be 'cool' and be like "yeah those movies were horrible! I hated them! I was never a fan!" even through we all know full well that they probably were like most people at the time and enjoyed them and went to see them in theaters.
Nobody in the world hates twilight as much as Robert pattinson, even before it was in theatres. He hated every second of it. But the cast were very close and a few of them especially jackson rathbone are grateful for the role as it got them oportunities.
I heard that the reason they gave him the role for Edward is that every other actor was trying to be Edward Perfectman, whereas he was trying to portray a bitter, tired ild man, doomed to his own youth.
vbarreiro I love him for that
That's true. The director sad all the other actors tried to play it like they were the most handsome man in the world and Rob just laughed at that idea. He played Edward as a miserable psycho and he was perfect for it. He sold the tickets to the franchise and if he hadn't satisfied the fans with his acting, it never would have made over $3 billion.
Exactly why he’s perfect for the role but also why I think Twilight is way to creepy to be a good romance
@@lureed Yeah, at first glance you can see Twilight as a romance but it falls apart under the slightest scrutiny. Rob saw that from the start, saying Bella was crazy to be in love with a vampire who wanted to kill her. He was right.
The twilight story would have so much potential if it wasn't portrayed as a fantasy romance.
Robert Pattinson and Kirsten Stewart have both progressed so far beyond their Twilight days that I actually feel kinda bad for Taylor Lautner.
Lautner is much better in comedic roles and I hope he finds another one. He was quite good in Cuckoo
Sifat
Sorry but I don't. 😹
Taylor Lautner is just a failed Zac Efron rip off.
@@sosickandtiredofalltheneed568
Why Zac Efron ? 😅
Sifat Shams Kristen stewert is still trash
I love the fact that no one remembers a film called “Remember Me”
Dude it was such a heart touching movie😭
That was one of the first movies I ever watched that made me cry like crazy
I love that movie so much. I usually don't like romance movies, but Remember Me has a special place in my heart as it's the first movie that had me outright sobbing
Same goes for the Capcom game of the same name lol
dude i SOBBED when i watched that movie. That movie was definitely what made me come to the realization that he's actually a really good actor. It's a shame more people don't remember/know about it.
Admittedly I did not like him being cast as Batman for like a week, but i watched some interviews with him and checked what else he has done, and I'm convinced. He's been saying how Batman is not a hero, more of an anti-hero and a dark, disturbed, and psycotic individual; that he wants to embody those aspects about Batman. So I'll say before and I'll say it again, I'm convinced that he will be an awesome Batman.
That isn't batman...
The idea that batman is some psycho is a very very bad ,almost meme-like reading of batman as a character.
@@abdullahahmad4239 Batman always had a sense of craziness to him, the guy dresses up in a bat costume fights criminals at night, he spends most of his time in a cave and has teens dress up in bright bird costumes and fight crime with him
@@abdullahahmad4239 he's not a pyscho for sure but when you look at newer Batman comics(by newer I actually mean in the last 30 years, maybe?)... It makes sense that a lot of people want to see Batman as a more complex character and its easy to be influenced by the comics that intended to be about the psychological aspects of their characters and not just another "hero saving the day" type of story.
I think its really hard to tell the most accurate representation of his character... I mean. Im not a big comic book fan but Im aware the character changed a lot since the 40's and the he was written back then may differ from (or even contradicts) what the character has become now.
And honestly, the same happens with Joker. We see mostly in the movies like Batman TDK and the new Joker movie. They added philosophical aspect to make the character feel complex and even relatable at some level and make it less about hero vs villain and more about different perspective clashing against each other.
It just makes thing more interesting and adds some depth to the characters. Even if it means a not-so-accurate representation of the character, that again, is already hard to define.
@@tarnishedpose I agree. Bottom line, I think we're gonna have a cool new version of Batman in 2021.
Hans Michael Fanunal Yes, which means every superhero and villain in the comics is psycho for wearing underwear outside their pants, super tight spandex, capes, and masks that only cover half or less of their face sometimes.
Of course this is malarkey. Batman has only been viewed as a slightly unhinged character due to his childhood trauma, but when you look at his external appearance and performance as Bruce Wayne or the Dark Knight, you’ll see that he is professional, classy and even a little bit meek with a more subtlety placed on his confidence. Whereas the Dark Knight is essentially the same but for removing the meekness, bringing the confidence fully out and giving his attributes a darker edge.
This is the character. Where we see conflict with Batman is when he is pitted against a particularly psychological villain, like the Joker or Penguin.
Pattinson will be able to play on all of this perfectly. I just hope that CGI will be minimal and instead just see some good lighting and angles on the set.
And yes. The script will determine the success or failure of the film
After Pattinson kills it as Batman, I dont want to ever hear people refer to him as the twilight guy again. Ever.
Michael g i feel ya
I feel sad for the people who've sworn off the upcoming Batman movie just because of Robert Pattinson (i.e Erod) I think he's more than earned our benefit of the doubt.
Yeah those people, in my opinion are part of the problem. They refuse to watch good films out of their comfort zone (like Good Time, High Life, and especially The Lighthouse) so they dismiss it only because of Twilight, which Pattinson infamously hated with a passion. I honestly think his performance as Batman will be a walk in the park in comparison to his performances in the aforementioned.
What I'm most excited for, however, is Paul Dano as the Riddler. THAT is a brilliant casting choice if I've ever seen one! That man not only looks the part, but he has not had one bad performance! He was honestly incredible even compared to Daniel Day Lewis in There Will Be Blood.
Also excited for Matt Reeves as the director, since he's made some really solid movies with the second and third Planet of the Apes reboot movies even though I stand by the opinion that Cloverfield is overrated.
Agreed, Pattinson has a masterful craft, on paper Pattinson seems to be one of those celebrities that are only good and being in some cover magazine, all looks and no substance, but Pattinson has acting chops that are around the levels of Daniel day Lewis or Jack Nicholson, and I am shocked that he has yet to have some sort of academy award nomination because he is that good
I feel that about Adam Sandler in Uncut Gems (same directors as Good Time). People online are already saying it's going to be trash just because he's in it, which sure, he kinda earned the hate with all the terrible stuff, but be more open minded for once
@@SX1995able Adam Sandler was good in movies like punch drunk love. But now he prefer to be in his comfort money zone
@@faizalf119 i wouldn't say Uncut Gems is a comfort zone at all but ok
He is definitely an Oscar caliber actor in my eyes
MatrixMonster _ I agree wholeheartedly
Problem is it's a club at that level with basically the same names year after year. His best shot was with Good Time & they failed. I think he's even better in The Lighthouse, but there is always an order with actors they like. I think his performance is up there/better than most of the names out there, but many who win them disappear after winning their Oscars so I'm fine if they never nominate him!
@@emmabauer1906 honestly, being an indie darling at this point seems like it's the better place for him. i hope he goes on to do a lot of interesting projects, it seems to suit him a lot more than being a mega movie star. not that he couldn't be a megastar, i just kind of hope he doesn't so we keep getting unique performances out of him.
@@TheBestCommenterEVER I think he's going to try & balance. He'll still be doing his weird indies, but Tenet & Batman get him the opportunity to be known to the public as more than Edward Cullen & further help his indies. He was waiting for the right projects to venture back into mainstream movies & turned down other studio fare because they weren't what he was looking for. It's turned out best for him to get to work with Nolan & then Reeves & a character he seems to have liked at a young age.
@@emmabauer1906 I suppose my lack of faith in superhero movies is part of it. If it bombs, he might get a lot less interesting offers in the future. If it's successful, he'll be the face of that franchise and that comes with its own issues. Robert Downey jr, for instance, has done barely any movies outside of Avengers stuff in the 11 years since he became Iron Man. The only good one he did in that time was Tropic Thunder (Sherlock was alright, I guess). In the 10 years before Iron Man, he was in movies like Bowfinger, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Goodnight & Good Luck, A Scanner Darkly, and Zodiac (and of course the masterpiece that is, The Shaggy Dog). I'd say that's quite a drop off in "good" movies. I just hope that doesn't happen with Pattinson.
my favourite anecdote of pattinson is when he noticed a fan stalking him day and night, he got bored and invited her to dinner and did nothing but moan and complain about everything in his life. after which he never saw her again.
is that true
@@monke980 I've heard the story too in one of his interviews but it very could not be. It still seems pretty likely considering how people are and hard to make up tbh
@@sebastianhaney1425 there was a tweet or something. I'm not sure though
Fr?
@@NAME-yg8sl i mean, he's said it himself in an interview. but since he's known to bullshit a lot, who can say? i just really like that particular anecdote regardless.
Seeing Robert Pattinson in "Good Time" let me know he had tremendous talent as an actor, but "The Lighthouse" confirmed that he's one of the best working today. Can't wait to see what he does as Batman.
YES! The Lighthouse was so unusual! I ended up really liking it!
AJ Taylor I was looking for this comment. I can’t agree more.
yes yes YES oh my god his acting in the Lighthouse was incredible. he should've been in the running for Best Actor.
And he's also in The Devil All The Time on Netflix
He showed his amazing talent even before, e.g. in The Rover.

“These characters aren’t people, they’re symbols.”
*smiles in batman*
Robert Pattinson is a great actor, I’ve been saying it for years. Finally people are beginning to take notice since The Lighthouse came out.
The guy did it right: Made a blockbuster series of films and made all his money and now just does whatever indie projects he wants.
The only problem was that those blockbuster films trashed his reputation. You're right, I've been saying it all along myself, but no one else is listening. Luckily his skill is starting to speak for itself now.
The twilight role was pretty crap. He wasn't a good actor there.
Miguel Rosado no one was good in those movies to be fair 😂🤣
he is an amazing actor and i think the Lighthouse definitely raised most peoples respect for his acting
@Gremblo this doesn’t even make sense lmao
I think Twilight gets a lot more hate than it deserves. It's bad, but so is Transformers, and that gets nowhere close to that amount of hate.
honestly i remember watching the twilight series way after it was finished bc i wanted entertainment and whatnot, and it was genuinely kinda interesting LMAO like as far as a teen romance story about vampires goes, it was still pretty fun to watch
what sucks is that twilight was loved by young girls, and written by a woman, so then most men (and the women who like to look edgy to appeal to these men) instead of ignoring the whole thing, started to act like a bunch of 14 year olds bullying a younger girl to seem manly to their own friends, saying that everything those girls like is shit and their own stuff is much better. Doesn't help that those teen girls thought that the guys on the movies looked good, that's even worse for some male egos.
The movies and the books themselves aren't that great but they managed to appeal to teenagers the way they were intended to, but since their audiences were mostly girls, everyone decided it was the worst movie ever. Now, if it was appealing to white dudes, no one would bat an eye about Pattinson being Batman.
Sure, sparkly vamps might be lame, but I actually, sorta respect Stephanie Meyer for trying to innovate, and trying something that hasn't ever been tried before in the over saturated genre that is the supernatural genre
@@eighthlegofthephantomtroup1842 What was innovative or new about it? I haven't read or seen them but they seem like pretty typical stories, though I don't think I've read many other supernatural genre stories, so I'm interested to hear.
@@dothedo3667 her vamps could, technically walk under the sun, the sun didn't burn them. It still isn't a wise idea due to their crystalline skin, but the sun doesn't harm them. It maybe didn't work, but at least she tried something new in the genre
Regardless of the movie's quality, you've convinced me that Robert is going to give us the most subtle and deep characterization of the brooding bat yet!
What does "subtle and deep" even mean? What are you asking for? You want it be a philosophical experience?
I hope Pattinson does a good job. If he gets a role like Affleck did though, the actor doesn't really matter. I honestly feel like we all missed out on a truly amazing Batman because Batfleck was goooood, only the scripts wouldn't let him. His movies sucked all around. Nothing an actor can do to salvage such a mess. Here's to hoping Pattinson gets better treatment.
@@sindri1447 google the words, and then use some context clues ya dink
@@cambriakilgannon12 ... so a witless moron then. Noted.
Subtle and deep so hipster talk for I'm so smart I see what the average film goer doesn't

Pattinson is a good actor. I don't understand why people are poopooing him being Batman. After Keaton and Affleck I thought we were past this.
Because geeks are the worst and are determined to peck the fun out of everything from the announcement of any project til the release.
I'm happy to give him a chance
affleck was so boring honestly, i dont know how people can think robert would be worse than him
Because geeks man, fucking geeks. At least the vocal toxic ones.
@Alex alexander If it's so simple why didn't you choose not to bitch about my bitching about their bitching. Clearly it's all unavoidable, the cycle of negative speculation will have it's pound of flesh.

@@ovahlord1451 RIGHT?! I don't think people realize how messed up that is.
It's my son, it's my booooiiii!
“The devil all the time” is a GREAT example of his talent and ability to disappear into a role, also showcasing that untrustworthiness in such a dark and interesting film
I love that the main cast of the movie are europeans and they play characters with such a thick southern drawl
He really knows how to fall into his role.
Honestly Robert is a growing up Johnny Depp yes he's always remembered for specific roles but if you look at the breadth and depth of his acting ability it's fucking impressive.
He's actively gone after directors since Cosmopolis. Hardly falling into roles. More like creating his own opportunities.
Unless you're talking about literally falling down in his role. If that's the case, I misinterpreted your meaning.
@@AmberBootheCat he means acting so well that he's more his character than himself. Falling into roles is like losing onseself because they're that good in movies.
Ah. Thanks.
Can we talk about how the actors from twilight STILL get shit, yet Dakota Johnson appears to be thriving after 50 shades?? It honestly feels like a weird fever dream remembering how everyone HAAAATED twilight, there’s a lot of worse cinema out there but none of it gets the unanimous hatred twilight does
People just hate it because popular culture tells them to. Also because it’s catered to young women and society likes to shit on anything they like.
Yours Truly haha! Literally agree 100% it’s just trendy to shit on things that are girly and/ or adolescent.
Just picture how much better of a Christian Grey Pattinson would have been rs
@@yourstruly7086 No, people hate it because it's bad. Unoriginal plot, 7th grade writing, cheap production values, half the cast can't act and it sends all the wrong messages. It has nothing to do with catering to young women. Bella is obsessed with sex with a guy she met the week before. Have you ever examined the time frame of Twilight? It's ridiculous. She's a high school girl who just wants to have sex with a vampire who could kill her, and then when he finally agrees to marry her, she doesn't want to go to college or continue to grow as a person, she just wants to be turned into a vampire so she doesn't look older than Edward. How shallow and vain can you get?
She's a horrible role model and he's a controlling creeper. That's why people didn't like it. Rob didn't even like it. He said Edward was a psycho and I'm sure he thought Bella was stupid. She was stupid, she kept doing dumb things after being told over and over not to do them. The whole plot is full of holes and one contrived thing after the other. Girls and women who are starved for romance will buy anything. That's why it was successful. Not because it was good.
50 shades also has no sense as a twilight fanfic because edward literally doesn't want to have sex with bella because he doesn't want to hurt her yet he's supposed to be a bdsm addict somehow? lol movie wise it's a lot worse than twilight too
People are a little confused by Rob's taking such high profile roles in Tenet and Batman. He isn't doing it for the money. His next film after Batman is another indie with his High Life director, Claire Denis. He's doing 2 high profile movies because it will make it easier to raise money for the indies he wants to make. He's been riding on his Twilight fame and name recognition since 2008. He needed to prove he could be in a big box office hit and raise his profile to keep his indies funded.
The best part is, he views both Nolan and Reeves as art house directors who have convinced the studios to let them make their auteur films with a big budget. So he isn't selling out or going Hollywood. He's still an indie artist at heart and he always will be. I can't wait for him to work with Robert Eggers again.
plus, Chris Nolan definitely is an auteur and his films all have a vision which is a lot better than generic studio-made hollywood movies.
Dude I want him to work with the Safdie Brothers again. Good Time was sick!
"Good Time" has been incredibly hard to forget. Seeing "The Lighthouse" really solidified how much I like Robert as an actor. I'll basically watch anything new he does now.
I'd liken Pattinson's career arc to Leonardo Decaprio. He started out in corny teen movies as the typical heart throb, then used the momentum of his fame to land roles in great movies. I respect his career choices because he clearly won't just do anything for the money like a lot of actors, he has the integrity and guts to hold out for something original and special. I hope now people will leave that image of the sparkly vampire in the past and see him for the outstanding talent he is.
DiCaprio got a supporting actor nomination way back in '93 playing a mentally disabled boy, that's three years prior to Romeo and Juliet!
@@mackereltacos2850 But he was typecast as the teen heart throb when he found global fame, and that's what he was most popular for by far. And that's only a nomination tbf. And nothing about that makes my point about RP invalid, which was my point.
Pattinson is much better actor than Di Caprio. Dude kills it with his accents and body presence. Something Di Caprio hardly does.
“Slightly tortured but pretty bland”? That’s how most people describe me
Twilight is my guilty pleasure. I know it’s not a good series, but I love it.
Giovanna R. How
BaconSauce lol
BaconSauce how can you not? idc if edward is toxic i love him
Enjoy the media you enjoy, pretentious dickheads who criticise act like they don’t have their own guilty pleasures
@@funkyfranx I see that all the time. People like overpowered fantasies where the man comes in and kills everyone, saves his woman, blah blah. No plot, no character just muscle head movement that's like a wet dream for a macho guy whose lacking action in his life. Ok. We know it's not a master of its art, but its guilty pleasure. BUT THEN when people like Twilight, cuz its hot, everyone gets mad. and I don't even like twilight. never really got into it, but I hate when people thrash on guilty pleasure romance. The whole romance genre is based on imo (in books)
I honestly thought he killed it in Remember Me. He had so many interesting idiosyncrasies and the scene in the conference room where he calls out Pierce Brosnen’s character is what made me notice him as an actor.
Patrick Hogan yeah. I love the movie and I think he’s great in it!
Vampaire becomes a bat
perfect casting 10/10
Took him 11 years though
To answer your question - if Pattinson is still seeking out roles in low-budget films like Good Time - I can say that it seems like he is. I have a rumor I'd like to share with the public.
I'm an actress and director associated with the New Jersey indie film scene. My good friend, Chris, and a man he knows named Arthur made a low-budget short film last year called "Slow Burn." It's a thriller about two plumbers who decide to kill and rob a rich man they're working for, and, kind of like The Lighthouse, one goes crazy. I was one of the few who got to see the short in its early stages, and I can tell you it's incredible. When I saw the rough cut on Chris's computer, he told me that before Arthur moved to NJ, he had connections with people from California.
Time passed, and Chris didn't hear from Arthur for a while. Then one day, they reconnected. Chris told me at a restaurant that Arthur revealed Robert Pattinson had seen "Slow Burn" and loved it. (Chris showed me Arthur's texts as proof.) Rob saw the film through a mutual friend him and Arthur share in Cali. Arthur then texted that Robert reached out to him about a feature he wrote: a heist film set in NJ. Arthur sent him the screenplay, and Rob apparently agreed to read it, saying he'd consider it if he had time after shooting the Nolan film. (Arthur said his goal is to get Jake Gyllenhaal and Dakota Fanning in the movie if Rob agrees, as they are good friends of his.)
NOW...again, it's all technically a rumor to me. But if there's one thing I know from Rob's decision to work with the Safdie Bros., it's that he cares about good stories and good characters. Apparently, he is a huge cinephile. That's why I respect Robert Pattinson: no matter how big he gets, he still cares about the little guys and understands that a low-budget story can be just as good as a big-budget one.
katyisaladybug :)
it's so good to hear, hope it's a truth :)
I also like that his return to the big budget blockbuster scene is going to be in movies that look like they are taking genuine risks made by excellent directors. He's not sacrificing the uniqueness that can come from smaller movies, despite taking bigger ones.
"I'm an actress and director associated with the New Jersey indie film scene" New Jersey lol
thank you for info kat
Pattinson blew me away in The Lighthouse. I like Dafoe’s portrayal of a delusional lighthouse keeper. But I think Pattinson perfectly portray a man going insane, you see every step he takes before he snaps
Even during the time period when I was vocal about my hatred of Twilight, I always deferred Pattinson and Stewart. They perfectly acted the writing and direction they were given - it wasn't their fault that writing and direction was atrocious. I'm really glad to see Pattinson starting to gain recognition for his actual talent and hope Stewart starts getting cast in better movies (or I start hearing about good movies she's been in).
Thank you. People hate on the actors but they don't realise that they did their jobs perfectly
she's in the charlie's angels movie! no idea if it's good or not, but she seems to not be having trouble gaining roles
@@AryaBeltaine that flopped horribly
@@hetty100 ouch nevermind then
Exactly! When you watch series again you see both of them was so good putting the weird asossical kind of person. I mean bella is not close with anyone she have relationship with. She literally left them immediatly just because she just wanted edward and didnt want to age. Edward is kinda obsessive like her too. Always involved her life too much and did those creepy things(watched her while she sleeps for 2 months when they didnt even say a word to each other) sooooo this story was already fucked up before them. And everyone hated because they were too good for the roles 🤷♀️
Me in 2013: Pattinson is a douchbag that can't act!
Watches The Rover
Me in 2019: Pattinson is a bad ass actor and will kill it as batman.
Never underestimate a man :)
MrAlexTech I said that about Good Time and Lighthouse. 👍👍
Honestly I think Pattinson could make a perfect Batman. His acting abilities are perfect for the character. Hell he even looks a bit like Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's Batman

Does Edward need to chill?
Absolutely.
Are sparkly vampires stupid?
I have yet to decide.
It was also so funny and so quotable. Watch the first movie. It's a camp classic in many ways. Remember when Eddie boy gets out of the car in cloudy ass weather, pulling a James Dean in sunglasses vibe when he and Bella go to school?( Cuz he's going to hell anyway, am I right?) Remember that shiny Volvo swerving like in a car commercial to save Bella from rapists? (It was quite a maneuver.) Perhaps, you remember the apple bounce? (It matched the book cover.The Bible, anyone? Subtlety, anyone?) OR THE VAMPIRE BASEBALL SCENE? JASPER TWIRLED THAT MOTHERFUDGIN BAT LIKE A BABE!
The soundtrack is also bitchin, just straight on bitchin. Back to Mr. Pattinson.
Anywho, Robert Pattinson delivered. He did everything that was asked of him. Edward in the books matched wonderfully with his movie counterpart, which is why everyone thinks he wasn't good because Edward is kinda an asshole. Well, not kinda. He is an asshole which Robert Pattinson understood. He performed seriously which honestly made the films so much better because it added to the humor.
The man is a very talented actor. He will make an excellent Batman. Everyone who has enjoyed Twilight already knew that but so many people take their misguided hate and project onto his whole career, which is ridiculous. Name one actor who hasn't done a bad film. It's basically a rite of passage. Look at Movie 43, for instance. Kate Winslet is in that movie. Naomi Watts. Julianne Moore. Hugh Jackman. It's hysterical. So, yeah. Good actors do bad movies. I love Twilight. I don't mind if others hate it, but don't let that cloud your judgement on RPatz because he's bitchin.
The soundtrack still slaps, I'll give you that
Jackie Rosas I love twilight. I watched it after its hype went down in 2014 and it legit consumed my early teen years. That and Harry Potter 😌
The whole Romeo and Juliet symbolism in one of the movies was great too
Watch Big Joel's video on Twilight
i agree 100%
I remember only knowing Robert Pattinson for Twilight and Remember Me. I always rolled my eyes when I saw him in movie trailers. Until I saw The Lighthouse.
I knew nothing about it and saw it pretty much randomly one day at a theater. His acting blew me away. He melted into his character and made the movie for me, alongside Defoe. The Lighthouse alone really changed my whole view on the dude.
Watch him in Good Time, The Rover, and The Lost City of Z. Then watch him in The Devil All the Time. I despise his character in that one, but that just means he was excellent in it. But his performance in The Lighthouse is my favorite to date. The chemistry between he and Dafoe is amazing.
I always think of Heath Ledger in stuff like "10 Things I Hate About You", "A Knight's Tale" and "Home and Away"....and then he went on to play one of the most iconic villian roles in cinema history.
Moral of the story?
Let actors grow.
Let them get weird,
Let them make crazy choices :)
Just to let you know, the role in Good Time was indeed written specifically for Pattinson! Both Pattinson and the Safdie brothers confirmed this in interviews. He reached out to them and they were working on the screenplay for Uncut Gems but they started on something for Pattinson. Originally it was going to be a prison movie that evolved into what it was.
@Duc Long Nguyen They talked about it in a lot of interviews. Rob contacted them after seeing a photo from Heaven Knows What, they emailed back and forth, met, and started working a the Good Time script. He went off to film The Lost City of Z, ad he wrote letters to Benny as if he was Connie Nikas, writing from prison. He created a whole backstory for Connie, for 10 months before the script was done. Rob manifested that movie out of his own determination and sheer force of will.
His french accent in that one Medeval film on netflix changed my mind about his acting prowess. After I saw that I was like damn hes got some skill.
The King. Very very memorable performance given how short his screentime was.
Pattinson in Cosmopolis is the perfect Bruce Wayne
Bro I watched that movie the other day and I found it so entertaining but I had no idea what was going on the entire time lol
@@rylankulp1198 yeah It's a wierd movie but that is what you get when you go for a Cronenberg film haha
In reference to casting Pattinson as Edgar in Twilight: "For it to work at all, Patton needed to convince us that Edward could be this soulful loving guy but also carefully balance the idea that he's capable of snapping into violence at any second."
Sounds like you're describing Bruce Wayne/Batman.
I was so impressed by Pattinson's performance in Good Times, I didn't expect anything from him because I had only seen him in twilight but man that movie really changed the way I see him!
The Lighthouse is, for me, the best movie of 2019. Just, wow.
I was talking to a friend about pattinson the other day and how fantastic of an actor he is.
the lighthouse finally got me on board the Pattinson train. he's very talented.
He lied about a clown dying in a circus to make the conversation more interesting. LMAO! Brilliant move right there!
I appreciate Rob’s hard work. Both in overcoming the Twilight hate, and in mastering and exploring his acting skills. I admire people who pursue what they love and don’t give up in spite of difficulties, change their plan and better themselves. Can’t wait to watch the Lighthouse.
I actually never thought of him as a bad actor. I knew when I casually watched the twilight series, I thought that Robert Pattinson kind of got better and better through each movie and that he got potential to star in bigger productions such as Tenet (HE PLAYED GREAT!!!) I think actors who star in teen movies or romance movies, have a hard time to get off that image, so I'm glad he starred in indie movies and kind of got under radar, while doing his indie stuff. I'm also 100% sure he will do a great job as the new batman.
I'm disappointed that you glossed over his performance in The Rover. I think he was brilliant in that and it remains my favorite role of his. But I am glad you acknowledge at least, that his casting in Twilight was a fantastic choice. He's an exciting actor and can't wait to see what he does with The Batman.
As it's been said this man is so committed to being weird it's absolutely astounding
Robert Pattinson is such a great actor and it sucks that people only know him for a role in a subpar film series. Hopefully The Batman changes that.
Tenet will first.
I really like his portayal of "Le Dauphine" in the king.
No one:
Film essay UA-camr: I have a cold so...
I always hate that, LIKE YO IDC ABOUT YOUR VOICE LOLL
Honestly, he is an excellent actor. He was sooo good in The Devil All The Time too.
He’s a great actor, I was so hyped when they cast him as Batman. I think most people who’s followed his work was excited about the casting
I used to hate Robert Pattinson growing up. I was a teen during the Twilight era and my twin sister made sure I had every reason to hate this actor. But after I saw him in Lost City of Z (one of my all time favorites) I fell in love with him. I watched the Harry Potter movies as an adult because of him and he played the priest in The Devil All The Time so friggin well. He was great in the Lighthouse as well. I can't wait to see what movies he will do in the future, I love this guy.
I was underestimated him, but now i realize his a good actor
The Rover should be up there with his best performances. He completely disappeared into the role as the simple-minded, guileless Eric. At the time, it was Rob’s furthest departure from the sparkly clean, well-spoken brooding vampire intellectual. Audiences were given a first taste of the chameleon-like talents he possesses.
Ikr 😃
I got real Dustin Hoffman vibes from him with that performance, that was the film that convinced me he was a truly great actor. He honestly should have been nominated for an Oscar for that film.
Robert Pattinson is an excellent actor of this day and age. All his roles have a sense of purpose. No two roles are the same. Every character he played has depth and meaning. His choice of films just proves he can play any character.
Honestly, I'd like to see Pattinson explore one of the more chilling aspects of Batman. Because while Bruce Wayne may be a hero and an overall good person, he's also a guy who's always playing everyone around him, who has little problem manipulating whoever he needs to to achieve his goals, even is those goals are mostly for the greater good. I mean, in the Injustice universe, he inserted Cyborg with a virus capable of disabling most of his systems the very first time he met him. It's an aspect of Batman that I think has never been properly explored and I think Pattinson might be the perfect guy to pull it off. Dick Grayson and Barbra Gorgon would probably be good candidates and it would work as a way to introduce them to the DCEU.
I just watched Tenet, and I'll say that Pattinson's performance there was absolutely amazing!
Genuinely think he was the best actor of all the people in the film, and it was packed with talent.
Loved him in Lost City of Z. Can't agree more that he really nails that character
Now he's Vengeance.
Used to hate his roles. From Harry Potter and Twilight.
Now he is one of my favourite actors. Amazing.
love to see people appreciate and recognize how robert pattinson has improved and showed he's actually quite talented
robert pattinson is highkey unhinged and I respect that

His break up with FKA twigs was driving emotion behind her recent album Magdelene. Which is an amazing work of art.
So, thank you?
good time left me so shocked. i never really seemed out robert pattinson movies other than twilight and harry potter but the way he played connie in that movie was so intense and actually made me sweat . i was in awe at how perfectly he was able slip into the character, i definitely recommend everyone to check it out
I don't even think Pattinson will have to wait until The Batman to redeem himself in the eyes of the general public. I'm confident that his role in Tenet will do that for him.
You haven't mentioned my favorite role of Pattinson: his role as Georges Duroy in Bel Ami. It's a period piece, which I feel doesn't get enough attention in movie critiques. What I like about this role is that the character transforms in the opposite direction of a lot of other stories. Instead of being the troubled guy that turns good, we see a poor but nice guy, who is so consumed by greed, that he ends up hardening and willing to hurt more and more people just to get richer and richer. This scene: ua-cam.com/video/nNK9b4gBO24/v-deo.html, in particular, I think is brilliant. I think a lot of times, anger is underacted. But Pattinson always delivers scenes like this with such conviction.
I like Bel Ami, too, and he was only 22 when he made it. Mature beyond his years, and brave, because he was playing a bad guy during the middle of the Twilight years. The directors were from the theater and had never directed a film before. It's too bad that they didn't have more experience, it could have been a better film with a more experienced director.
I think he is actually really accepting and an open person. He is a tad crazy and a free spirit I think that's why he is such a good actor and chamaeleon.
Robert Pattinson is on fire as of late.
The Lighthouse, Tenet, and with The Batman coming next year.
I really enjoyed High life. It has a very strange vibe to it, you kind of feel trapped in it just like the characters. It's quite dark and disturbing, but somehow magical
Editor's Note: Don't trust Captain Midnight, Pattinson is actually a really nice guy
"Don't believe in his lies"
Cheers, man!
You can overcome it! Keep having roles that you apreciate and make you feel apreciated!
As a fan of Robert since over a decade I am so glad He is finally getting the love he deserves.
Me too. He deserves it, so much. More than any other actor. It's so nice to see him being so successful, getting the roles he wants to play, him being completely free to chose, him being able to do what he loves and more and more people giving him the respect and the sympathy he deserves. It's just the best thing to see him so happy.
He did an actors on actors interview with Variety, and he said like he likes to do movies that are considered ‘indie’ and he honestly didn’t think twilight was going to be big because he didn’t know much about it. It was a really interesting interview! It was him and JLo.
The Lighthouse was incredible! Looking forward to watch Tenet and Batman!
Hearing him being spoken about like this makes him sound like a good character for a west Anderson film
Glad someone else said it. I think the guy is really great and has potential to do an interesting take on the Bat.
I wish you had commented more on your thoughts for him as Batman
As one who watches video essays regularly, it's nice to see how much this channel developed over time, both in terms of subjects you deal with and the way you analyze them
yo, this analysis is fantastic, and one that I didn't know that I needed.So, thanks man
I agree robert taking on roles that are the “bad guy”,”untrustworthy” protagonist really help subvert his teen angsty persona from his twilight days.
Glad you’re making this video. I think he’s gonna be a great Batman
I was putting watching Good Time away for a very long time due to Pattinson, and I picked it up during lockdown seeing all the positive ratings which were confusing to me, considering his Twilight career. My entire perspective on the man changed after that!
Fantastic video essay! You did a great job with this :')
Mans went from being a vampire who showed no emotion in 5 movies to a lighthouse keeper who showed every emotion in 1 movie.
When I watched good time I forgot it was him almost the whole time. He immersed me into the story so deeply that I Fr only saw him as Connie
Honestly even though I don’t like the Twilight films and have a so-so enjoyment of the Harry Potter films I always knew that it was a case of a great actor trying to find his breakout moment for Pattinson
Great analysis. I have yet to see The Lighthouse-but I need to!
I love your videos man
Keep it up ❤️
good time 100% changed my view of him as an actor
He was awesome in Tenet. Can’t wait for his performance in Batman
honestly the acting in twilight was pretty good, even Kristen. The plot was shit though, so I see why everyone hates it :/
the source material was shit that’s why. the acting was good, the actors portrayed their characters pretty well. the problem was the very mediocre books they were adapted from.
The problem is it was forgettable trash that it's weirdo fans thought was "Teh greatest romance ever", and got super defensive about their boring movie about puppy love.
