I actually think she's really good. She's really good at delivering her lines and using the right tone and emotion of it. Plus in Snow White and The Huntsman she actually cried, that's not a very easy thing for an actor to do unless you're REALLY good at it. Her only problems is showing more facial expressions, she just needs to work on that and she'll be really good. She does show facial expressions sometimes but others she has a bland expression, like her signature expression that we all have when we're in Algebra.

The poor girl gets a bad rep because of her role as Bella. It's not her fault she did so bad, Bella is such a bland, dull, undeveloped character that the poor girl tried her hardest but it wasn't good enough. In Snow White and The Huntsman she was really good and this time she has a reason for her lack of facial expressions. I mean the girl lost her mother, her father was murdered by her step-mother, her kingdom was thrown into darkness, and she was locked up in the dungeon since she was a little girl. That's enough to traumatize and scar any little kid for life.

I've noticed Kristen always plays characters that seem to have some kind of depression and that's part of her lack of facial expressions. This girl needs to play more happy characters.

She's an okay actress. In the movie Speak,she played her character perfectly. She has good potential as an actress.

I agree. She just needs to SHOW MORE FACIAL EXPRESSION! Someone needs to let this girl know she needs to crack some smiles, look sad, look angry, etc.

she goods, who saw her in the messengers?

I haven't really seen enough of her work to decide just yet, but it seems her depressive characters have given her a bit of a label, like lack of facial expression and stuff, it's hard to be dynamic when you have a sad, depressive character (I'm studying Drama, and I get this problem if I have a miserable character) so I think given a chance she would be amazing if she had a wider variety or roles to show how good she can be! =)

meh... don't really know... i don't care to watch movies that she's in... she needs to get into better movies...

She's alright. I've never been like distracted by how horrible her acting is or anything, so I'd rate her as average. She's not great, but not awful either.
