Perhaps there were other actresses capable of the same, and perhaps her range was not stretched, but I felt she suited the roles, and was a charming fit for each.

I'm also not saying that beautiful women can't act either. Long history to prove otherwise. That being said though, Cara is far from the first Victoria's Secret Angel and/or Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model to take up acting, and there's a pretty long list of not so great acting coming from those sources.
I'm sure it didn't start with Kathy Ireland in the early 90's, but let's just say that 12 year old me didn't even notice how bad of an actress she was when I saw her on the silver screen.
Ahhhh... Fond memories of my Kathy Ireland poster...
Kids today don't know how good they got it and could never possibly understand how important February was back then.
Do Right, Be Right. :)
MADSTW is one of my favorites, and includes Dwier Brown (Kathy's brother), Eric Idle, Jon Lovitz, Teri Garr.

Fair enough. But I doubt anybody would have labeled her performances in those movies as a "charming fit" if she looked like Kathy Bates, is all I'm saying.

Kathy Ireland resided on my bedroom wall for the better part of my HS years.
Cara looked like a 12 yr old girl to me, and still kinda does. Sorta cute, but more like in the wood-elf sense ( non Tolkien ). I guess it'd be more accurate to call her a nymph, which is one reason why I think she's perfect as the Fae character she is in Carnival Row.
Again, I think she was told to basically stand there and remember a few lines in her previous movies, and any acting which she may have done was purely by accident.
Here, I think she acts. She's not Cate Blanchette or even Scarlett Johansson, but she acts.

Well that's the difference between most VS models and most SI swimsuit models.
For years VS wouldn't let Kate Upton in their shows or catalogs. Even though she was arguably the best looking woman on the planet in her prime, she wasn't the typical stick-thin body they're marketing to.
I know they eventually put her in some of their catalogs, but I don't know if she ever did any of the shows. I can only assume they even allowed her in because of lefty backlash for "fat shaming" or some ridiculous thing. She didn't have a single ounce of fat that didn't look amazing on her. I guess they just felt they couldn't be honest and publicly state that her boobs were too big for VS.
About Cara...
I got a weird thing for eyebrows.
I find her to be simply stunning.

Hey man. She's the one making millions off of her looks. I can't be the only one she does it for.

I'd bet that carpet has been cleaned so many times, it's non existent.
Just sayin'.

I like the mismatch, sure... it adds to the contrast. But I think it's more about the thickness.
Lilly Collins drives me nuts.
It's rare that I find short hair attractive on a woman, but when all the parts add up with a smile like that on top of it...?
Damn.

Me confused.

In neither thread did I recall seeing anybody even suggest that Cara was capable of carrying her performance.
As a lead role in a wonderful film, perhaps the best film of that year, she had opportunity to showcase her talents, and we were left wanting.
I asked the question here because I was not sure if she is who the "2 leads" were referring to.
Agree...I've enjoyed and rewatched the movie sevearl times...incredible CGI current state of technology..but the casting of both Cara and Dane (the Leo deCrapio look-alike) received the abyssmal reviews it deserved..while the movie itself was super cool...maybe I'm just too old, but don't see anything sexy/hot about her...
