The problem with this secret isn't that you're wrong in your opinion, it's just that I feel it's kind of ridiculous to hate people for liking his portrayal of the character.

I've read the books and I don't really like them, but I do like Robert Pattinson and I think that, of the available people who would have actually gone for the part, he was probably the best choice.

The issue is that Edward is an OMG INHUMANLY BEAUTIFUL MALE character that sways everyone that sees him and is so insanely gorgeous that no one would ever call him unattractive. Sadly for the movie business, different people have different tastes in men. There is no 'perfect Edward' out there, because one of the reasons he is considered so beautiful is the fact that he's a vampire -- it enhances his appearance (essentially by magic, a way to attract his natural prey). No human being can be that. And no human actor can be every single fan's perfect Edward, because of the variance in personal taste.

As far as I'm concerned, an actor that most people find attractive, the majority of the fans like in the part, who doesn't take the story too seriously and is able to look at the character critically and do even a remotely decent job is a good choice for Edward. Since people like him as Edward, for the most part, I think he probably deserves the role. I haven't seen the movie so I don't know how well his acting is in it, but Christ, vampire movies? Fucking rife with terrible acting. I think most actors who aren't still 'beginners' wouldn't even consider Twilight, and especially a vampire movie about a teenage boy vampire would be more difficult because the potential actors would likely be even more inexperienced than if the character was an adult.

So, yeah, it's fine to hate Robert as Edward because the character is so ridiculously perfect that no one person could ever -be- that for everyone, but I think it's just a little off to hate other people who like him in the part. There's just no point in it.

they are hating others because their personal preferences don't match. that's really fucking sad.

iow, I agree.
