It's sad to write this now as Robert Pattison and Kristen Stewart have proven that they are actually good actors after this terrible franchise finally ended, but they did turn in undeniably dreadful performances across the five Twilight films.

It would appear neither actor, especially Pattison, had any affection for the films which is probably why they were so bad in the movies, but frankly that feels like poor form. The Twilight movies, as awful as they mostly were, did give them huge career springboards and they had a loyal fanbase watching as well, so they could've tried.

Unfortunately, they were evidently only in it for the money and together they formed what could be the worst movie couple of the decade. Both gave shockingly wooden, painfully irritating performances that resembled a stoned, half-asleep teenager reading from cue cards. In particular, Kristen Stewart's performance helped make Bella Swan one of the most loathed film characters... well, ever.

Individually they were awful and together they had no chemistry whatsoever. Still, despite giving such horrific performances they have, with their highly interesting work in indie cinema, done more to redeem themselves than anyone else on this list, so good for them.
