I'd never seen him in any movie, ever. All I really knew of the guy was tabloid nonsense and dopey werewolf films that spawned that beast by the name of Kristen Stewart. I didn't think he could "act" because all anyone talked about were his looks and the tabloid shit. And he never really got any substantial and meaty roles, so I had no idea what to expect.
Well mother**** me, he was ****ing outstanding! That dude should be the next Bond, not Tom Hardy. He had that quiet confidence that makes "attractive" men on film, like a Sean Connery, cool as ****. He's also got the height and physicality for the role.
If Hayden Christensen had been half as cool, the Prequels would have been the greatest movies ever to me.

While the Twilight movies were a total grab at a certain audience (in my case: wife & teenage girls) the acting/role by Pattinson in those movies wasn't bad at all, and actually make those movies tolerable when being forced to watch them with your family.
The scenario somewhat reminds me of Leonardo Dicaprio after his role in Titanic. He was the national heartthrob to the point of annoyance... but as time went by, he came into his own with new roles.
