Twilight junkies - what do you think of Robert Pattison?

I LOVE the Twilight saga - do not in any way misconstrue this as a dig at the book/movie/actors....

Fans - are you happy with who they cast for the role of Edward? Would you have picked someone else?

What about the rest of the cast? Are they hot enough to be "Cullens"?

I guess this is why I am not a casting director. I don't exactly love Robert for this role, but I don't know who I would have picked. I don't think there is anyone out there that could live up to the image I built in my mind while reading the books.

    I am not pleased with having a guy who wears lipstick, has hair all over his body, has no muscles, to play the amazing edward cullen. but everyone else is fine but i am VERY dissopinted with the director there is one scene when edward wears SUNGLASSES!! WTF!! he CAN'T GO IN THE SUN SO Y THE HELL IS HE WEARING SUNGLASSES?

    sorry just had to say that

    I don't think Rosalie looks anything like what Rosalie should look like. To me, Robert is too serious for Edwards role, even though Edward is serious, but just like you i don't know who else i would pick to play Edward.. Esme is ok, i think they could have picked better. Bella, NOO! Kristen is good for scary movies but not Bellas role at all! Emmet and Jasper are great. Alice is so amazingly perfect. Victoria's hair is decided "fiery red" and hers is a light Orange, they should die it redder. Jacob is SO hot! Perfect person to pick.And um... that's it. I think the movie will be okay. But i hope that it is as amazing as the book.

    I ♥ Twilight!!!!!!!!

    It's true I didn't imagine Edward to be anything like Robert Pattinson...Ok, Let me rephrase that, I didn't think Robert Pattinson would play Edward in the movie. I don't know who could have portrayed my 'imagination Edward', it was probably impossible since no one out there is 'perfect'. But of course they had to choose someone. And personally I don't like Robert too much. (not that i have anything against him..)

    Bella was probably not very close to what I had imagined. I thought of Bella as a little more..fragile. I cant think of a word.

    The rest of the Cullens? I think most of them are fine. :]

    ok people. first of all, since there are no real vampires who could play any of the cullens, we have to stick with humans.

    ok, rob pattinson isnt anywhere near edward in my head, but still, he is good looking and he is an amazing actor. i have no idea how they even picked someone for the role (i certainly couldnt have)

    the rest of the cullens are fine. its just a movie. chill. you couldnt get it any better - be grateful there even is a twilight movie.

    i cant wait for it to come out personally, and i think i will definitely enjoy it even if its nowhere as near as good as the books!!!!!!!!

    Yes, I think he fits Edward's character perfectly. Also Kristen Stewart is how I pictured Bella. And the Cullens, well I love who they casted but Jasper's hair is wrong! And Emmett's hair is supposed to be curly. I also love who they casted for Jacob but no offense, I think he looks better with the short hair.

    Edward: I don't like Robert. I wanted Tom Sturridge :(

    Bella: I wanted Alexis Bledel

    Jasper: I like him, but I wanted Trent Ford... he would have been perfect!!

    James: I love Cam, but Chris Evans or Channing Tatum were the ones I was cheering for.

    Alice: I like Ashley and all, but I wanted Rachael Leigh Cook

    Emmett: I love Kellan, he's like perfect. Or if they got Jesse Metcalf.

    Rosalie: I don't think Nikki's pretty enough. Olivia Wilde

    Carlisle: I don't really like Peter, I wanted Charlie Hunnam.

    Esme: Elizabeth Reaser is really good.

    Victoria: Anette O'Toole would have perfect when she was young.

    Laurent: I don't really know.

    Angela: Kristin Kreuk would have been perfect.

    Mike: Micharl Welch is awesome.

    Tyler: Henry Cavill was have been good.

    Jessica: Christian Serratos

    Jacob: Steven Strait would have been perfect.

    Eric: Justin Chon(I guess...I couldn't find anyone better...)

    at first i didn't quite like Robert Pattison playing Edward because i didn't really picture Edward like that, but i think i'll be OK with it, it's not the worst they could've done.

    i think that Kristen Stewart for Bella is PERFECT. that's exactly how i pictured her :)

    and as for the rest of the Cullens .. i'm not really happy with that. they're not hot enough at all i don't think.

    i'm happy with who's playing jacob :)

    he's quite attractive, but i wish he was built bigger and taller like they said he was in the books

    I love Robert Pattinson. I do. He's so much better than the stupid twilight movie.

    What's funny is that the stars in twilight all hate the books. It's a show. All for money. Look up their interviews, they've admitted it.

    particularly; pattinson totally bashed edward's character, and stewert called obsessed twilighters retarded.

    it made my day.

    i'm sorry for all the girls that thought Pattinson wasn't HAWTTT enough. grow up. He's ink and paper. Now that the books are being brought to life, you have to realise that level of perfection doesnt exist.

    I think hes awesome because he hates twilight, and only acts because its his job. Its comforting that hes not a rabit dipshit fanperson who'll rip your eyes out if you dont like twilight....

    The cast is terrible. Theyre nothing like in the book. Except for bella- she plain, clingy and clumsy in the book, and as an actress. Sorry Kristen, just though you should know. Sorry to twilight fans. I just hate it so much, i think its the best place to take my anger out.

    He's great. Just as how I imagined Edward to be. Also he hates the twilight books and hates Edward so that makes him even more awesome.

    Plus he's a HOBO lol.

    Source(s): LOL have u heard his Bella voice? But... you're beautiful. In his hilarious british accent.

    I agree no one can live up to the image i have of edward. Even the best makeup artist couldnt take the hottest guy and transform him into edward.

    But I think rob is hooooot, anyways xD

    i think hes a good actor, and he does have the looks i pictured edward with, but not as...gourgeous. i dont even have words to describe it
