Twilight Series Question

Do you believe that Taylor Lautner was a good choice as Jacob?

I am so curious to know what you think because I hate him (I hate Taylor but I loooooove Jacob in the book). I don't believe he is handsome or sexy (ok! maybe without his head!!!). I don't think he is talented, either. So, what's your opinion? Do you believe that another actor would be better? (other ideas???)

Yes. His transformation for young man to wolf buff was amazing and I am sure he worked very hard to make that transition.

All in all, yes. I do believe Taylor fits Jacob's person. However, in my opinion, he doesn't really have the acting chops. He just doesn't have that natural acting ability and you can sense that on screen. Whenever he says his lines, they either come off overly dramatic or they just don't flow together.

Do I believe another actor could have played Jacob better? Yeah. Someone who looks like Jacob, definitely. However, I have to say that Jacob does look the part, however, doesn't always acts the part. He can play the fun kid that Jacob was at the beginning of the series, but Taylor can't play the werewolf Jacob. He can't play Jacob's roughness and his arrogance. His attempts just look awkward.

However, actors can improve. He has a couple of movies lined up, so hopefully he improved. He's shooting for blockbuster roles, not necessarily those with a strong script, so we'll see. We'll see.

No, I don't like him. I mean he's cute and he has the look except for the height. His height was a big disappointment to me. He was supposed to be taller than Edward but you know he's shorter. But Rob is really tall so finding someone taller than him would be hard. I can understand that. You might say his height is a small detail but Jacob's height was a distinctive feature of his. I say he could be a little less cute than Tay but taller and I'm not really impressed with Taylor's body transformation because any actor could do it if they worked hard.
About his acting, I agree, he's not a strong actor. His acting just doesn't seem natural to me. He's not very talented but I can't really fully blame him for my disappointment for the Jacob in the film because the scripts took so much away from Jacob, like his sense of humour. For that, I'm kinda angry with Melissa Rosenberg.
Then again, I agree with mandapanda, maybe he'll improve his acting in time.

Okay I admit, he isn't the sexiest guy out there (nobody cares about my opinion on that issue since it's not Twilight related) but he is cute, and honestly how many actors do you know that could easily pull off looking like a full blooded native american?
