Pattinson doesn't have presence to carry 'Water for Elephants'

'Twilight' star Robert Pattinson attempts again to diversify beyond the realm of teenage vampires, but nonetheless remains safely in his romantic-melodrama wheelhouse, in his new film 'Water for Elephants'.

Based on Sara Gruen's depression-set 2006 chick-lit bestseller of the same name, it sees him once again pursuing an epic love, against which powerful forces are aligned. But on this occasion, Pattinson's greatest adversary may be his own lack of charisma.
