All those movies you listed and you say she's the same?
Absolutely. Without a shadow of a doubt.
That doesn't make any sense. All different roles, some very different, and she's shown a wide range of emotions in her various film roles.
You can play different roles, and still exude the exact same mannerisms and behaviours in every one of them. Acting is being able to lose yourself in the role you're playing. If you saw any two performances from Jennifer Lawrence, Winter's Bone say, and then compared it to her role in American Hustle, and then further compared it to The Hunger games, VERY stark contrasts in behavior, facial expression, attitude and demeanour.
You can see the same thing in Heath Ledger when comparing his role in Brokeback Mountain to The Dark Knight. Or Gary Oldman in his roles Dracula and Drexl. Or Cate Blanchett in Benjamin Button and Lord of the Rings.
I mean it's light and day with these actors. You watch them on screen and you forget that these are actors portraying roles, because they become the roles they're playing.
This NEVER happens with KStew is on screen. She doesn't have what it takes.
I can understand that you may not like her, as we all have our likes and dislikes, but listing all her many/varied roles and saying she's the same is just wrong.
I've provided enough evidence to support the idea that I know what I'm talking about. Acting is an art. She doesn't have it. She's someone to fill the role, but she never loses herself inside of it. She plays herself. Not the characters she's supposed to portray. It's a problem. Always has been from day one.
Plus it's an old phrase that probably came up over the hate tossed at Twilight and many of the cast there.
No one else on Twilight received as much criticism as she did. I mean I'm not about to pretend that Twilight's script was anything the write home about. The whole list of actors had terrible performances, but that mostly thanks to the terrible writing and character development of the script. Robert Pattison isn't the greatest actor in the world either, but he has significantly more range than she does. And that's ignoring Anna Kendrick, Billy Burke, Nikki Reed and Jackson Rathborne. All of whom have far better talent than either of them.

Jennifer in
Winter's Bone:

American Hustle:

The Hunger Games:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXT9GDIvoqoFrom what I gather, most people in real life have one emotional state that they return to in between dramatic events--a sort of overriding emotion and default state of mind. While her "behavior, facial expression, attitude and demeanor," varies noticeably from film project to film project, I wouldn't call it stark by any stretch, since she does return to the same emotional state in all of her films thus far. Don't get me wrong, I honestly believe Jennifer has acting talent--but not in the sense that she is totally unrecognizable from one role to the next. I would definitely agree that Heath Ledger is an excellent example of an actor who can become virtually unrecognizable from one performance to the next as he did as the Joker in
The Dark Knight.
She plays herself. Not the characters.
Kristen's public persona is not as bubbly and congenial in real life as she was in
Cutlass:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9m6_wPLKjMKristen does not have a neuromuscular disorder in real life like she had in
The Cake Eaters:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAL-_oPGwywKristen isn't Joan Jett in real life like she was in the biopic
The Runaways:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2-nNAV_Y1AKristen was never a victim of sexual assault as a 13-year-old in real life as she was in
Speak:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dT7Pw1zo7mwKristen never served in the military, least to say served as a detainee guard at Guantanamo Bay detention camp, like she did in
Camp X-Ray:

Twilight:

You believe those things, but it doesn't mean others agree. I find Kristen in On The Road, to be totally different from Kristen in Camp X-Ray. Her performance. in Clouds or Sils Maria is light years away from her performance in The Runaways. Her Joan Jett, in The Runaways is nothing like Bella in Twilight. Anna Kendrick leaves me cold in all her movies. I would not say she is a bad actress, she is a good actress but I don't like her movies. I liked Winter's Bone, but hated American Hustle with a deep passion. Jennifer L. certainly can act, but I haven't like a few of her movies, Serena and the last two Hunger Games.
You might not like her acting style or acting ability, but she has many fans and critics, who love her. People, who love her acting, and couldn't disagree with you more. Kristen, Jennifer or Anna are each going to have people who don't like them as actresses. And think one or all of them are overrated.

I disagree. She's an excellent actress. She's only "self-conscious" when it's required of her character.
