Edward Cullen: Now and Then

Edward Cullen (Twilight)       Robert Pattinson Edward Cullen Eclipse
                   Edward Cullen in Twilight                                           Edward Cullen in Eclipse

Now can anybody tell me the difference between this two pictures? Other than it's still Robert Pattinson and he's weaaring different clothes and the background is different too?

Between the 4 movies that they have relased since 2008, i really love watching the first series, in fact i can still watch it over and over again. Why? Because the portrayal of Edward Cullen in the first movie is really similar to the book. In Twilight, they really manage to make Rob Patz into the perfect Edward Cullen - Nice skin, incredibly breathtaking smile and the perfect features of vampires as mentioned in the book. I guess it's probably the lighting and more make up but I really appreciate that effort to transform the normal Rob Patz into this perfect vampire. Even the things they do are much graceful in Twilight.

But i really started noticing changes in his character in Eclipse(the 3rd instalment). Because his character didn't appear much in New Moon (2nd instalment) i didn't notice much. The ending of New Moon did show him looking like crap from depriving himself from blood and the suicide thoughts.
Now, in Eclipse when they first show him (when he's walking towards Bella from his car) what i really saw wasn't Edward Cullen. I saw Robert Pattinson, not the dreamy unrealistic vampire (& they didn't cake him enough to make him really pale) It was such a disappointment while i hear girls in the cinema sighing and cooed at his image. I'm appalled. Maybe the fans just like him because he's well, him. But i'm more the type that appreciates it when the actor/ actress can really portray the characters from books very well. I dreaded the Breaking Dawn I because he looks just the same, R Patz not Ed Cullen. Okay maybe it wasn't that bad in Breaking Dawn but he's suppose to look dazzling as the groom and i don't see that. I lost interest the in 3rd movie but LOVE the fight scene. I'm more team Alice. But i still watch all of them movie because i've been a fan of the book.

Since they racked up enough money to make them billionaires overnight, why can't they just spend the extra money to coat them even more in make up? Doesn't even cost them that much. Make up can do wonders to cover up those flaws and i see many in R Patz. <cringe> 

P.s No offence to the team Rob Patz people.
