You may know that Robert Pattinson is an English actor, musician, and filmmaker. Not many people knew about his acting career before he became famous, but now, he is one of the most recognizable faces on the big or small screens. He has headlined films like The Guardian and Cosmopolis and has appeared in the television shows Breaking Bad and The Handmaid’s Tale.
But what if I told you he wasn’t always famous? What if you didn’t know his name before the last movie he was in, or the one before that? What if you saw him in a theater and he wasn’t yet established as one of the most elite actors in Hollywood?
It’s hard to believe that a time when he wasn’t even that well-known exists. Sure, he was in The Favourite, which was a hit at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival. But other than that, outside of the industry, he was mostly unknown. His big break came when he was picked to play Edward Cullen in The Twilight Saga (2008–2012), and since then, he’s been Hollywood’s go-to guy for blood-sucking antagonists.
I mean, just consider this timeline. In order to watch his movies, you would have needed to have seen The Rover (2012), The Favourite (2019), or Good Boys (2018). Maybe The High Life (2018) or The Lost City (2018), too. But even The Rover and The High Life hadn’t come out when this article was published in August 2019.
So, before we get to the answer, let’s back up a little bit and discuss how we got here.
How Did He Get So Famous?
In case you’re curious, here’s a brief timeline of Bob Pattinson’s transformation from unknown to famous. It all started with The Rover. The movie was released in 2012 and received positive reviews from critics. The film’s popularity even landed it a place on several Best of 2012 lists. One of the most prominent being Rolling Stone’s “Top 50 Best Movies of All Time.”
Pattinson’s performance as Eddie Cullen was undoubtedly the high point of this movie. He infused his character with a certain vampiric charm that made him an instant star. This was followed by another high point, when The Rover won the Palme d’Or at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. After this movie, his career took off.
Which Is The Worst Of The Three Movies?
To answer the question, we need to examine the facts. We will take into consideration several factors like acting ability, singing voice, and overall contribution to the film. For each of those, we will assign a numerical value that we will add up to get a final grade.
Before we begin, it’s important to note that any of the three films mentioned above could be considered the “worst.” After all, he wasn’t always famous. In order to answer the question, we need to identify which one of the three is the poorest quality overall. Once we’ve done that, we can determine which is the worst of the three.
Let’s take a look at the facts first.
The Facts
The Rover (2012) is the first of the three films and, in my opinion, is the worst of the three. It’s easy to see why. The main problem with this movie is that it’s poorly written. There are several spelling errors and the story is extremely confusing. The dialogue is often bad and it feels like a very amateurish effort. One of the things that makes it worse is that it takes place at a time when he was already established in Hollywood. So, at this point, he shouldn’t have been acting.”
Now, The Favourite (2019) is the second movie on our list. It’s got a 94% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is considered a superb score. The film’s popularity is partly due to the fact that it’s a period piece. For the most part, it focuses on the late 1800s, which is when Queen Victoria (played by Rosalind Franklin) was on the throne. The movie also features several famous faces like Annette (Emily Boring) and Lizzie (Naomi Watts).
Finally, we come to Good Boys (2018). This is the third film on our list and it’s the most recent. It’s been a while since we’ve seen him in a movie, but Bob Pattinson truly shines in this one. The plot is engaging, the characters are fun, and it has a great vibe overall. One of the most interesting things about this movie is that it features several cameos by famous musicians like Madonna and Beyonce. The movie also has something for the audiophile in everyone. Not only is it Star Wars themed, but it has a soundtrack by Adele that is worth listening to. All in all, Good Boys is a great example of what Harrison Ford (who plays the main character’s dad) calls “character-driven storytelling.”
Now, before we get to the final part, it’s important to note that any of the three films listed above could be considered the worst. After all, he wasn’t always famous. In order to answer the question, we need to identify which one of the three is the poorest quality overall. Once we’ve done that, we can determine which is the worst of the three.
Let’s start with The Rover. As mentioned above, this is the first of the three films and it’s poorly written, poorly acted, and has terrible special effects. This makes it the worst of the three.
Final Takeaway
So, what does all this mean? Well, for one thing, it means that you can’t judge a book by its cover. Just because someone isn’t famous now (or hasn’t been in a while) doesn’t mean that they aren’t capable of excelling in the craft. It also means that our perception of someone influences how we evaluate their work. In other words, it’s not always about what they do now (or didn’t do in the past), but how effective they are at doing what they do.
In the end, it’s always important to consider the facts and the circumstances surrounding each case. However, in some instances, it’s also important to consider our perception. Our perception of someone can vary based on our point of view, which in this case includes our point of view about the quality of the work they have done in the past. Finally, it’s important to keep in mind that any of the films above could be considered the worst. However, it doesn’t mean that the others are necessarily better. It just means that Robert Pattinson isn’t always the best judge of his own work.
