Edward. Since the movies are based off of the books, I consider them different characters, because sometimes movies don't portray the characters like they are in the books.
Movie Edward is more on edge. He's wary all the time, ready to jump at anything that tries to harm Bella. Not that he isn't that way in the book, it's just more extreme in the movie. Everything is heightened. That's how it works.
Book Edward is composed all the time. He's always calm. One of the reasons why movie Edward isn't shown as composed as book edward is because they have to show emotions visually. In the books, you read about it, but movies, to explain the feelings of characters, they are shown.
To continue with the difference between movie and book characters.. this applies to Jacob as well.
The New Moon movie made you feel extremely sorry for Jacob. Not that it isn't sad in the book, but they leave you feeling sorry for him. WAY MORE than in the book, in my opinion. This is due to the "love triangle". Summit is trying to pimp it to feed the merchandise. The fans buy the merchandise and... the money will go to Summit.
In the book, I felt sorry for Jacob. However, I still didn't like him. After Eclipse, most fans hate him because of how he treats Bella and how he acts. He's a noble character. But, my opinion is... the movies don't portray AT ALL what Jacob is in the books. In the movies, they portray him as the kid who gets screwed over all the time. They seem to disreguard his ~other acts as well such as him being a jerk sometimes. Again, that's how it works. Summit pimped the "love triangle". They haven't portrayed the books like they were supposed to be portrayed. Again, that's how it works, unfortunately.
