Okay, I'm as big of a Twilight fan as the next person, but I have to admit--I think the film franchise is seriously down-playing Robert Pattinson's acting chops. Granted, I think most of that has to do with the character he's playing and the writing of the script. He really isn't given a chance to showcase his talent, which is a shame. Unlike Twilight, Remember Me gives R.Patz the room and opportunity to really spread his wings and show some range. Once again, some of this is due to the writing of the character but I think Pattinson takes it another step forward. You see the character evolve (due to the writing) but you believe it as well (due to Pattinson). Also, it doesn't hurt that he's playing opposite another talented actress (Emilie de Ravin), unlike the Twilight films. Let's be real, Kristen Stewart leaves a lot to be desired. It's a shame that this film didn't get the exposure that it deserved. Yes, after seeing the film you realize it's a little gimmicky. It hits on subject matters that will touch anyone but show business is a business. Why produce a product that you know people won't buy? Regardless of this, I still think Remember Me was unfortunately overlooked and people pay more attention to his role in an underwhelming movie than in one that carries quite a bit of potential.
