It really ruined the movie for me. They should have found an unknown or anyone besides her. I kept imagining her curling up to Robert Pattinson and cringing. It is not my job as a viewer to TRY to separate an actress from one role and try to imagine her in another. That's her job, and she fails. Some people have to try too hard to be cool, and this movie/Stewart's performance is the perfect example of it.

She didn't fail, you did.

Welcome to the Rileys
Wow, I had the opposite reaction. She was so good as Joan Jett, that I couldn't imagine this was the same girl that was swooning after Edward. In my opinion, she couldn't have been more different than the character of Bella.
shareNever seen a TWILIGHT film and never will. Watched THE RUNAWAYS knowing who Stewart was, but it never crossed my mind once during the actual viewing. Hooray.
shareJoan Jett herself said no one could have played her better. That was all the seal I needed. I don't like Twilight but I watch for Kristen, and her JJ was leaps and bounds away from Bella. She didn't fail at all.
Kristen Stewart

I will never watch those "Twilight" movies, but I think that Kristen was the right choice for Joan Jett.
shareThat is silly. It's like saying I couldn't stand Tom Hanks in Philadelphia because he's the same actor from Big.
Kristen was picked by Joan Jett herself, there has to be a reason for that, right.

Since I have only ever seen Kristen in one other movie, where she plated a trailer park girl... i figured she was great. I don't watch dumb vampire movies.

Check out "The Cake Eaters". Strong KS role as a teen with neurological disease in rural NY state
sharewhat was the name of that movie
Rob Zombie is one of the greatest movie directors today
Are you seriously comparing Tom Hanks acting to Kristen Stewarts acting?! HAHAHA
Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?
actually after watching runaways i thought she's so good why in the hell she is wasting her talent on that stupid vampire movie .
shareNot everybody hates those Vampire movies, as evidenced by the Box office figures.
Pufffffffffffffffffffffff ~~~
Of course you've been writing about Kristen Stewart for 5 years. The other delusional person all over the Kristen Stewart board had been writing about her for 6 years. Absolutely hilarious! Hahahaha, sitting on IMDB for 5 years defending Kristen Stewart's awful acting.
shareCosigned. Kristen Stewart must be a Method actress,or whatever the 21rst century equivalent is.
She went deep into her role as Joan Jett-singing voice, style of dress, and mannerisms. Kristin played the guitar with her right hand and wrote with her left,as Joan Jett does. Unless she is naturally ambidextrous, this means she had to switch hands to do one or the other.
Stewart was perfect. I've met Joan Jett, I've interviewed Joan Jett, Stewart WAS Joan Jett in this movie. Stewart's a phenomenal actress, I can't wait till Twilight is over so she can do more real acting like this.
shareits interesting that you think that, i totally disagree i think she did a really good job getting out of her bella swan status.
"Someone has to die in order that the rest of us should value life more. It's contrast."
I actually thought that I was gonna feel the same way as OP but I really didn't. I think that Kristen stood out and even outdid Dakota.
Also... I can kill you with my brain
