  • I like her, she is a good actor, just not the greatest to play Jane, I always imagined Jane with black hair, short black hair. Hm, I think they could have choosen someone better. No offense.

  • just so all you idiots know...dakota fanning has FAR more experience in acting and movies than ANY of the twilight crew. so why dont you just get your heads out of the vampire wanna-be mode and view the quality of an actor.

  • I don't think they should have picked her for Jane. She doesn't scream evil to me and that is what Jane is soppused to be like. My friends and I all think they could have picked someone better.

  • People exaggerate her too much. Her role is stupid I dont know why people are like obsessed with Jane. She barely speaks. She has like 15 minutes on screen time throughout the whole series. Geez!!
