I haven't watched the movie yet but do you think it would've been better if Natalie Portman was the main character? I heard she turned down the lead role.

No. I think Blake Lively was a great choice for the role of Adaline.

Agree.

[–] Livana_Faolan 10 years ago

I don't think Natalie, or anyone else, would have been able to portray Adaline with such grace, poise and dignity.

Blake is right, though Natalie is beyond nice for a support nrole..:_

Blake is so lovely. I did not know much about her but am NOW a fan after seeing this performance. Great movie!

Blake did a great job. Was surprised by her acting skills.

Imagine if Katherine Heigl had not dropped out?

Thankfully we got Blake instead of her.

"I think Lindsey Logan wudve been better"

As what? Adaline when she STARTS AGING AT THE END?

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked.

Do you mean Lindsay Lohan? Not Logan. I liked Blake Lively.

Natalie Portman is overrated, Blake did a fine job.

[–] K_Stephansen47 10 years ago

But soooo pretty! :)

[–] flowertimezones 10 years ago

Blake definitely fit the bill. She did a great job.

yes, portman is a far better actress.

[–] murtaza_kzl 10 years ago

Blake lively, certainly did a great job. Natalie would have been fine but i think the role suits blake more than her. And yeah as everyone said, katherine would have been a total disaster!

[–] ImInTheater 10 years ago

I actually thought Scarlett Johansson would also have been good. But how weird is that she also was with Ryan Reynolds? So nah.

Blake really did great like she had an old soul.

Ew no

[–] ImInTheater 9 years ago

Hahah ew?

[–] Jessical1992 9 years ago

She's not a good actress. I know everyone thinks she's hot but still. She's terrible.
