Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart: Who is the Better Actor?
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are the most popular couple on planet Earth right now. But do you have an opinion about who is the better actor? Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are both very talented but who is best actor in the twosome?
Robert Pattinson was been on the radar since he played Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. But did you know he played Salvador Dalí in the film Little Ashes? I loved Pattinson in Remember Me, which was the first starring role for Rob outside of the Twilight Saga movies.Kristen Stewart created a buzz when she was still a kid in the 2002 movie Panic Room. In 2007, her performance in the film Into the Wild made her the darling of critics but it was her role as Bella Swan that transformed the actress into a household name worldwide.
Who is the better actor? Robert Pattinson or Kristen Stewart?
My take on the acting abilities of this celeb couple? I think Kristen takes more risks and is an actress who will be working in films until she is a senior citizen if that is her goal. But I believe Robert Pattinson has more “star power” and more of the “it” factor that separates stars from actors. What do you think? Talk to me!
Here’s a clip from Remember Me, in case you missed it!

It's All Brad Pitt » Blog Archive » Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart: Who is the Better Actor … commented on Dec 24 10 at 12:20 pmFrancis Ellis commented on Dec 23 10 at 4:05 pmI am a HUGE fan of a book called The Run: London’s Secret (http://londonssecret.blogspot.com) by an unknown UK author named Ella Roberts, which could potentially be as HUGE as Harry Potter & Twilight if people know about it. I want to make it go VIRAL for Xmas so we can find out what happens in the sequel – it ends on a cliffhanger, I just need peoples’ help: read it & recommend / share it with friends / colleagues / network, mention it in articles / radio shows / television shows – this book deserves it!
LogicalMama commented on Dec 23 10 at 4:06 pmDid you really write that Kristen Stewart is talented? Seriously? Let’s be real here, she is a horrible actress. Watch all her stuff and she is the same character in everything she’s done. She borrowed Molly Ringwald’s lip biting bit, which worked for Molly because Molly IS talented, but it doesn’t work for Kristen. Lip biting and eye crossing is not talent, sorry! She’s famous b/c her parents are Hollywood folks and that’s how she got her break. The rest is just really good marketing.
Emma commented on Dec 23 10 at 4:58 pmKristen est une excellente actrice, de plus elle peut jouer tous les registres quand à Robert il joue uniquement les princes charmants pour toucher un public d’ados, il faut grandir ROB!!!
lovesit commented on Dec 23 10 at 5:07 pmlove them both, but Kristen is better IMO
Robsten 4eva commented on Dec 23 10 at 5:11 pmLogicalmama needs to get her/his (whateva it is) head out of the sewer and realiize Kristen Stewart is a top a talented actress and is proven around the world, end of story.
Anaruwe oluwatosin commented on Dec 23 10 at 5:59 pmrobert and kristen are really good together.they really connect together1,they are like Brad pitt and Angelina Julie.the fact is they are just too good i envy Robert,seriously.
Anna commented on Dec 23 10 at 6:05 pmWhat’s the point in comparing their acting abilities…? They’re both good actors.
And why didn’t you mention The Runaways or Welcome to the Rileys, the last Kristen’s movies on theaters? She received great reviews because of those two movies.@LOGICALMAMA
Fortunately a lot of people disagree with you, including some of the best movie critics. So, yes, she wrote that Kristen is talented, get used to it, you’ll probably hear that a lot from now on.
I saw most of her movies and I think she’s an amazing actress.
And she’s not famous b/c of her parents, she’s famous b/c she’s talented. She got the part on twilight b/c of her previous movies, her talent was already recognized before twilight.
BTW you can give your opinion without being so harsh… you look a little jealous…?
Michele commented on Dec 23 10 at 6:05 pmThis is the second question like this and for the life of me I don’t know why I’m answering it, instead of doing what I’m supposed to be . . . I guess it’s as good a procrastination as any. Michelle, why does one actor have to be “better” than the other? They are totally different people, playing totally different roles. It’s just so negative and polarizing. I also think it’s hurtful to both actors; it’s shoving them in a box and nailing the lid closed: You’re only this good; you’ll never succeed at that. I think both are working really hard, both are talented people, both are trying to cope in a surreal situation. Why not give them a break?
amaya commented on Dec 23 10 at 6:09 pmi think they’re both good acters they do what they love…..stop hating it’s not nice…..
Britt commented on Dec 23 10 at 6:09 pmHands down Rob. Kristen can’t act for SH!T. Did you see the hospital scene in Twilight? God I wanted to smack her.
Nessa commented on Dec 23 10 at 6:32 pmtotally agree with the article. i think they are both veryy talented and could both work in hollywood for as long as they want. much like brad and angelina, they are very different but work well both together and apart.
Koolkatt17 commented on Dec 23 10 at 6:46 pmThat first comment was so ridiculous I’m gonna dismiss it right of the bat . They are both extremely talented , I hope to see them in more films in the future . To all those hateful people I say get a life !! Despite all the negative comments they will be successful . Can’t wait for water for elephants , read the book a while back , movie looks good !!!
pam commented on Dec 23 10 at 9:48 pmI believe you put it best. Kristen will probably continue to act and be a working actress for as long as she wants. Mostly because critics often confuse style with substance. Kristen has the kind of bratty, anti-establishment attitude that critics really love in the young and pretty. The charm of it wears away fast, at about tje same rate of wear that her looks will suffer if she continues to smoke and drink and do whatever else it is that she’s doing. She has some talent and some ability, if she could just get over herself enough to show some humility and some willingness to learn from others instead of believing she has all the answers.
Rob has the ‘it’ quality and that could take him far. He too needs to get over himself. They both show the arrogance of youth. He needs to develop his skills and, just like Kristen, stop all the partying. It’s really aging him. Of course, while Kristen’s looks are a benefit -as long as she’s young- Rob’s are a hindrance. Critics dismiss him as a ‘pretty boy’ and guys hate him out of jealousy and spite. So maybe there’s a plan behind all the chain-smoking and daily drinking.
Michele commented on Dec 23 10 at 10:14 pmI’m reading the book now, KoolK, and am also looking forward to the movie. But if there is too much showing of animals being abused, I won’t be able to.
FanofBoth commented on Dec 23 10 at 10:28 pmI think Kristen is a better actress and has no interest in “star power.” So, she is right were she wants to be… Robert is good and getting better. He has the star power but isn’t relying on it lasting. I think they balance each other. Therefore, I agree with the article.
LogicalMama commented on Dec 24 10 at 12:13 am@Anna– ummm, one can’t ‘look” a little anything when one is typing and no, hardly jealous at all. I am not one of the teeny boppers googling Kristen Stewart or Robert Pattinson to find articles written about them in an attempt to devour everything Twilight, etc then happening upon this only to find an adult opinion that may possibly be correct! Sorry, but she sucks!
2010cookie commented on Dec 24 10 at 12:29 amIm sorry to do this but I’m definately going with Rob. Now im not basing this on their acting abilities now because in my opinion both got a little ways to go before tjey reach their full potential. But wgo do I think has the most? Rob. He does have that “it” quality that could take him far in this industry. Their both still so young stop they have a few things to learn amd a few dues to pay before they could ever be Brad or Angelina. I think both have a very promising career if both dont let their private lives and all this Twilight hype overshadow their skills.

RavenLilly commented on Dec 24 10 at 2:03 am@Francis Ellis BRAVO!!! You took the words right out of my mouth Molly Ringwald and all… Kristen is the same character over and over…She is so predictable, and dull…Every since the Panic Room I have not liked her in any of the movies she has been in…I do watch the movies she is in trying to give her the benefit of the doubt, but she just seems to fall all over herself and never seems to put fourth real effort into the the part she plays…She never delivers that line where you go, oh WOW that was powerful…Also she was not the star of the Runaways, she needs to look up to Dakota Fanning who is amazing and was brilliant as Cherie Currie…On a positive note I think Kristen has potential to be a Rock Star…She has a sultry sexy voice, she’s angsty, moody, and she likes flipping people off…
As for Rob, once he gets away from the Twilight movies, and not acting with Kristen he will truly flourish…Thus far my fave movie of his is Little Ashes… I am extremely excited about Water For Elephants…I think he will surprise many people with his talent in this movie, and working beside Reese Witherspoon, and Christolph Waltz certainly will help him bring out his art…
sanjas commented on Dec 24 10 at 8:01 amkristen! i mean…don’t get me wrong i love rob too and think that he’s talented, blah, blah, blah…but kristen! xD
Chelsea commented on Dec 24 10 at 9:14 amDefinitely Rob. Kristen CAN act, IMO. HOWEVER, I’ve only seen her playing that lost and tortured character. She’s good at it, but I think that’s all she can do. Rob has a much bigger variety, and I think he’s done almost each (if not every) character justice. So, conclusion, they both can act, but Rob has a wider range, which would, IMO, make him the better actor.
amira commented on Dec 24 10 at 9:38 ami think rob is way better then kristen he’s so talented I’ watched remember me the other day and it was amaizing .I think robert will surprise many people in the future and water for elephants will be great too….so i have to be on rob’s side(sorry for my bad english)

Magpie commented on Dec 28 10 at 2:20 amI think that they both have great potential. I thought that Kristen was horrible until I saw The Runaways & I thought that Rob was horrible until I saw Remember Me. My theory is that they are simply terrible together. There are too many eyes on them and it makes them uncomfortable on screen….it makes me uncomfortable to watch them. Their insecurities are just too blatantly obvious. They can both act…..I would just recommend that they do so apart.
edrp commented on Dec 28 10 at 7:36 amsurely kristen is
Gypsyjae commented on Dec 30 10 at 2:35 pmKristen Stewart has talent that flourishes only in small indie movies where she is part of an ensemble group where she is not the lead character in the story. No one will notice that she hasn’t really done anything to WOW the audience. She is professional, she can remember and deliver her lines, but at the end of the day, she plays each role the same way to the extent that you just see Kristen Stewart in the role of ____. Rob on the other hand? He disappears into the roles he takes on to the extent that when you watch his movies, you see the character and not Rob in the role of _____. He makes you believe he is the character. That is talent, that is what a good actor is supposed to do. Kristen plays it safe. She never gets out of her comfort zone to give us a performance that knocks our socks off and leaves us feeling that she is a great talent. She has talent, she just needs to stop being so full of herself that she is the hottest thing on the planet because of the explosion of Twilight. How far would Twilight have gone if they chose someone else for the role of Edward? He and the rest of the cast made that movie what it is, not Kristen Stewart.
cab commented on Feb 11 11 at 10:33 amRob is so far beyond Kristen in his abilities to act. It just comes so naturally to him. If he can keep his head on straight, wow, what a career he has before him. He gets all the moods right, the way he moves, he’s just got it. This is coming from someone who has watched alot of movies. Some of my favorite actors have been Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Charlton Heston. Rob has the ability to be right up there with them if he can keep it together and of coarse accepts the right roles. He needs to take some lessons there from Johnny Depp. Don’t let Hollywood rule you. He’s Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, etc., all rolled into one!!! He really has the talent to Hollywoods next great Actor!!
