What exactly was the point of casting her in this movie? She is not attractive charming or has good acting skills. You know you got a problem when your leading man is way prettier than you.

I thought she was good in this role.

I liked her in the role too. Of course, you can't argue that Ben Barnes is beautiful. I just love him. I'm a huge fan.

Can't you see that beautiful Ben Barnes adored Jessica Biel in the movie? And I think that Colin Firth was quite warm to Jessica as well. The chemistry among them on the screen is so real that makes the movie such a delight to watch.

Ditto. She was excellent.

She is incredibly beautiful, and was excellent in the role, nailed the part perfectly.

Boycott movies that involve real animal violence! (and their directors too)

Beauty, they say, is in the eye of the beholder. I think she was well cast, the character needs to look and sound unlike any of the others, intimidating them without meaning to, be in a sense larger than them, on another plane of experience. This is why Mr W goes off with her at the end, they are both strangers in a strange land who have found each other. It happens, believe me, though not always with such clear-cut consequences.
