Pattinson - is as far as I can see - is walking a tightrope. It's one thing to say that your character is complex, dark and three-dimensional. Another to say that the story is ridiculous, the book it's based on is bad and the movie you're in cannot not suck.
Pattinson has done the former, hasn't done the latter yet. At least not outright. But his overall dismissive and condescending attitude seems to suggest that sooner or later he's gonna slip down some slippery slope of a question and do exactly that.
When he does that he becomes a hypocrite and an idiot. A hypocrite because he sought out that role, auditioned for it and got paid for it. No one made him do it but he himself and if he didn't do his research on how ridiculous these books are, it's only his own fault.
And he would be an idiot because he would be sabotaging his own career. No one likes an actor who will badmouth the very movie he's supposed to be promoting and there are lots of other young attractive actors in Hollywood. No one there needs Pattinson to possibly pull this a similar stunt with their production. He would make himself unemployable to some degree.
