Yeah she gets alot of hate for Twilight but shes actually a really good actress when given a chance. Loved adventureland, she was one of the reasons. She was really good in Camp X-Ray as well.

12. "Name an actor who COULD'VE been good in that role." In response to Reply # 7
It's a role that requires passive moping for four films. The character isn't without agency, without narrative, and without... well, character. Her main characteristic is being mopey.
That's why I give her a pass. And Pattinson for that matter. I've seen them be terrific in other films. It's not their fault that the material absolutely dampened all charisma.

Which, I don't blame you for listening. Stewart brings soul to that role, though.
That movie showcased how good Ryan Reynolds could be too. I want him to live up to what he could be, but he seems farther gone, since he doesn't have fuck you Twilight money to coast off of for the rest of his life. She can work with indie directors in small productions for the rest of her life, just like Pattinson.

Twas a good role...don't recall her doing much to elevate it

Twas a good role for him too & his acting was fine but didn't give me the feeling he's got a lot more potential than what he's shown so far. Might've felt different had he given a Tom Hardy like Locke performance in Buried but that needed snakes to keep me awake.

That little girl can act her ass off. Shes been really really good in every role ive seen her in, even shitty movies.
Jennifer Lawrence killed it in Winter's Bone but i havent been impressed since....she just plays Jennifer Lawrence as whatever character now, i dont get the hype...she needs to pick more challenging roles and stop fucking with David O Russel...i couldnt understand when people were picking her for the Oscar that year over Lupita

^^^These are my exact feelings. I thought she did a tremendous job in Winter's Bone. Everything else has been just, meh.

Her performance in Short Term 12 I put right alongside Lawrence in Winter's Bone and Olsen in Martha Marcy May Marlene. She has better comedy chops than anyone listed not named Stone, AND the dramatic chops to compete with the rest. That versatility makes me a huge believer in her.

I might still go with Dakota Fanning. She doesn't work as much but was good in Runaways (out acted Stewart) and has some damn good child performances under her belt. Most of these only have one great performance to me anyways...
Or girl who plays Arya Stark. lol mainly cuz of her part tho

ronan i could see, but her look a bit too ethereal.

Kendrick is a leading lady and Ronan will be whatever Cate Blanchett is. .
