The movies are sooo bad made infinately worse by the crappy, crappy, acting of the leads. I've confessed it before, I have read the books and found them oddly compelling even as I was ranting about how it didn't make any sense. I'll probably go see the movie or at least watch it when its on TV or something but after reading your review I'll be cringing a little harder than normal

"Farewell, Twilight franchise. Unless Meyer decides to milk this udder some more. I hear she might want to write out Jacob and the spawn, The horror!"
oh good hell! Are you serious? That's just ... so much ew. Haven't watched it yet so I'll save your recap for later. I'm sure it will entertain. I really love this guy's review
LOL. I enjoyed that review. I, too, celebrate that it's over. They're making a movie of her other book series, but that one got about no hype, so it won't be in my face every two seconds. Farewell, Meyer. Please join Danielle Steel in obscenely rich obscurity now.
Charlie saved the movie. Between his underplayed mustachey goodness and Michael Sheen chewing the scenery to bits, I got at least a few genuine giggles that weren't borderline.
Most of my giggles were that way, though. But at least I had fun!
I'm just so thrilled that, by the end, all of us (lovers and haters alike) can come together and laugh in perfect harmony.
"In short, after all the warnings, it is sex, lollipops, and unicorns for Bella. Oh, and she develops a super-skill that makes her more powerful than all other vampires combined. Seriously. If this isn't Stephanie Meyers ultimate wet dream of herself, I don't know what is."
Most obvious author-insert Mary Sue I've ever seen! The worst is that everyone's all "OMG! Bella is the most awesome of all of us! Look at her powah!" And, as an audience member, I'm all "She stares really hard and gives off waves." Maybe it's purported to be impressive, but it's boring as hell to see. That's pretty much the final nail is the Mary Sue coffin.
I don't know if I'd go that far and I don't think that was Meyers' intention. I think we're supposed to believe she's mentally and emotionally aging at the same rate she's physically aging, which will make it not so pedo in the future.
But I still find the whole thing icky and annoying and wish it was something I never, ever had to think about.
And that montage song was written JUST for the movie. Oh, boy.
Yeah. I might add Lee Pace (the REAL vampire) to Mustache Daddy and Scenery-eater as the only truly enjoyable things about this movie. Lee Pace is going to be in The Hobbit, too! I just love him. He cannot help but uplift all he lends his deep voice and magnificent height to.
