She wasn't great! Ok maybe but not great!

The consensus at our house is that Rosie's acting chops are.....


Great!

Very impressive indeed....

Most of the free world enjoys watching Rosie in TF3, and many of us love her. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is the definition of a natural actress. She performed very well in her first movie, and she continues to shine with integrity. Rosie is disarmingly pretty, and she allows no quarter while being devastatingly hot, but there is more to her extraordinary beauty.

by Ashray:...it comes from within, from her warmth, charm, positiveness, humour and good nature.

by Biggie-Elz: She was much better as the female lead than Blake Lively was in this summer's Green Lantern, and something about Rosie is more charming than Megan Fox. Megan just puts out this vibe that's really off-putting and harsh, while Rosie comes off as a pretty sweet and grounded girl in interviews, which I believe showed in Carly.
Though I don't find Megan to be off-putting and harsh, it's easy to agree with everything else. The dreamy light that Rosie is sending probably influences my sense of how amazingly beautiful she is, along with her admirable prowess as an actress. Integrity, joy, passion, grace, and other charming impressions should factor into surveying the beauty and the caliber of an artist.

by chocolate eyez 3: I think she can only get better and did better than Megan who's been acting longer. You get pulled into the movie. I think they actually gave her character more depth.
Rosie flows like a river and passionately draws us in.

by Ashray: I remembered hearing Bay saying that before hiring her, he asked Spielberg himself to see her during a small acting exercise and to give his opinion. According to Spielberg, he think she has natural raw talent and could improve tremendously if she is focused.
The master filmmakers who put Rosie in her first movie were captured before we in the audience started loving her. With her fine magnetic qualities, Miss Huntington-Whiteley had an extraordinary affect on Mr. Spielberg and Mr. Bay, and the epic gift of their creative vision became that much more enriching for us.

by Hazekiah: The role of Carly could've been written better, but I'd say Rosie stepped-up admirably and did a fantastic job with the cards she was dealt.
One of TF3's greatest defenders is also one of the film's best critics.

by ZeeXy: Also Michael Bay worked with her before (he's VS regular - lucky bastard :-) so there wasn't much of a luck involved. He had quite a huge number of choices and chose the one he knew would be able to do the job easily and will be a joy to work with. Remember the praises she got from "being nice" and her bewilderment why people considered that to be something special? That translated into much more relaxed and natural character on-screen.
There may be a tendency to underestimate the level of experience that Rosie has with being in character. The links below are examples of how many different moods photographers have been asking Rosie to reveal since the camera began loving her at sweet 16, in 2003. Through a prolific modeling career, and now with a very successful movie under her wings, Rosie has developed the ability to become these characters we see.

Those of us who sense Rosie's depth of passion have confidence that her acting range will broaden as she is given more roles. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's professionalism, talent for being in character, intelligence, lovely voice (w/enchanting accent), and depth of beauty combine to inform her natural acting ability.

Watching Rosie, I see a radiant, not-so-rough diamond. Unable to project my own limitations upon her, I liken her potential with the artistic achievements of my favorite actresses: Rachel Weisz, Claire Danes, Susan Sarandon, Cate Blanchett, Samantha Morton, Juliette Binoche, Abbie Cornish, Keira Knightley, Jennifer Connelly, Hilary Swank, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Rosamund Pike, Annette Bening, Cameron Diaz, Kirsten Dunst, Vera Farmiga, Emily Watson, Naomi Watts, Helen Hunt, Romola Garai, Julia Roberts, Heather Graham, Zoe Kazan, Uma Thurman, Holly Hunter, Tilda Swinton, Sophia Myles, Ashley Judd, Robin Wright, Frances McDormand, Sandra Bullock, Julianne Moore, Laura Linney, Carey Mulligan, and Claire Forlani--to name a few. This is an impossibly short, randomly ordered list.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has what it takes to eventually transport audiences as well as these great thespians. And given Rosie's vibrant, friendly, and earthy personality, along with a willingness to be her best, it is easy to imagine that these seasoned veterans would welcome Rosie to the classroom (literally or figuratively).

My own completely beautiful woman and I could go for seeing Rosie in anything from her first romantic comedy, to a period film, or of course more action/adv/sci-fi. We're captured by the high level of performance that Rosie has already shown, and we look forward to seeing much more of her.

Great Job in Transformers

by tryanhas09: You have a bright future, regardless of what the haters say.

Her acting never felt forced or fake. It's like she was playing her "playful" self.

None of the other actors in TF3 did that much better than she did, for this to have been her first film.



Very well said, OP. Thank you.

Most of us have favorites, and there are some musicians, painters, thespians, etc. who send me further than the rest. Since Rosie Huntington-Whiteley entered my mind from TF3, she's become a catalyst for wondering, more than ever, what makes our favorite artists deliver such brilliance.

It's like she was playing her "playful" self... You've traced an impression of Rosie and nailed it.




We all come to the theatre with baggage. The baggage of our daily lives, the baggage of our problems, the baggage of our tragedies, the baggage of being tired. It doesn't matter what age you are.

But if our hearts get opened and released - well that is what theatre can do, and does sometimes, and everyone is thankful when that happens. -- Vanessa Redgrave, seeing both sides.



If our hearts get opened and released... While speaking to the potential wealth of receiving performances, Ms. Redgrave could easily have been describing the best of giving performances/creating too. The purpose of art and how it gets here...




The best thing on translation was said by Cervantes:
translation is the other side of a tapestry. -- Leonardo Sciascia



They say we lose something at each step between feelings, thoughts, and words. Saying what we think isn't always as easy as we expect it to be. And to say or do or become what we feel--with music, paint, or on film--these are the achievements of artists.

Several weeks ago, I saw The Conspirator (2010), and though I was drawn in by several members of the cast, I remember thinking about two in particular: Robin Wright and Kevin Kline. I was noticing certain qualities--subtle parts of themselves--their unique depths that are given to a spectrum of utterly credible and very different characters.

Maybe artists such as these have the ability to offer extra layers of themselves, and though I may (objectively) remember them most as playful (Kline) or soulful (Wright), these two (for example) have it all and can do anything. Among the best at their art, Ms. Wright and Mr. Kline have both laid claim to a wide range of roles, and yet they leave impressions of playing themselves.

Consider the conventional wisdom: "Write what you know." By extension, TF3 is a great start for Ms. Huntington-Whiteley, as she's very much at home in a role that so welcomes her smooth radiance and magnetic charms. Rosie seems engaging and fun off the set, and she brings her playful (and soulful) energy to Carly Spencer. We can look forward to many more of Rosie's visceral translations of herself.




... your playing, as I recall, has about it an exceeding sweetness. -- Dr. Robert Merivel
(Robert Downey Jr.) hitting on Celia Clemence (Polly Walker)/Restoration (1995)



To Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, with gratitude, for all that you are:
