Its time for a pop quiz.
The question is, What has Robert Pattinson been doing sinceTwilight?
Mickey 17 / Warner Bros.
If you answered any of the above, youre correct!
Sadly, though, he has not been nominated for an Oscar.
Meanwhile, Pattinsons most recent film,Mickey 17, is perfectly on brand for the actor.
Droll and inventive, its the kind of offbeat movie that Pattinson has made part of his brand.
But is his role as Mickey in this sci-fi dramedy his best?
Lets see how it ranks next to six classic Pattinson outings.
Summit Entertainment
Edward Cullen inTwilight
TheTwilightsaga may have launched Pattinsons career, but these movies were bad.
There was never any coherent or inventive story to build from in the first place.
Some mildly titillating romance, sure, but literally nothing else interesting.
Warner Bros.
That said, Pattinson and Stewart played their roles perfectly, and for that, they deserve credit.
They committed and gaveTwilightfans exactly what they needed.
And yet, Pattinson made him ever so slightly sympathetic.
Warner Bros.
When Diggory Portkeyed to the graveyard, you actually felt bad for the guy.
Not a performance for the ages, but a significant one for sure.
Neil inTenet
Dashing, mysterious, and posh, Neil is perhaps Pattinsons most outright charming character.
Warner Bros.
He flashes smiles with ease just before sailing through confusing fight sequences.
Bleecker Street
Warner Bros.
A24
