Twilight...one of the best selling books in the world...one of the biggest flop movies ever! This movie was full of cheesy lines and terrible writing/acting. Now I read the books, I personally was not a fan of the books, but I can see how girls love them. The books let their imagination of this world with Edward go crazy. Here in the movie, they saw it how I did when I read the books. Edward was not as romantic as they all thought. His lines suddenly didnt sound quite so perfect. Every detail of the books that stimulated their imagination was left out, therefore forcing them to see Edward for what he was, a weird'o. In the movie never once does he say "I love you" to Bella once. Further proving my theory that Edward never really loves her he just wants to eat her, but I digress.
From the first ten min of the movie you could tell the whole movie was going to be full of cheesy situations and crappy acting. For example, when Bella first walks into her biology class. In the movie she walks in and the scene slows down as she walks in front of a fan which blows her hair wildly and then you see Edward have an over dramatic freak out. First thing wrong with this scene, Its Forks, its cold and rainy. Everyone has coats on, why would there be a fan on? Second, Edward's sense of smell would have been strong enough to pick her up as she walked in without the fan. And personally I think he wouldn't have looked like he was going to throw up all over the desk when he first smelled Bella, she smells good, that's why he likes her.
Next part in which I wanted to shoot myslef. When Edward shows her what he looks like in the sun. First in the book he doesnt want to show her at first it takes time to build to it. But in typical Hollywood fashion they change that. He is all excited to show her and he finds it completely vital that she sees. When it does show him he looks more homosexual then he did before when he "Glistens like Dimonds" Please people!
Now I must say positively the Cullens were cast very well, all of them I was very pleased with. Also Bella. Edward I thought was cast well but he actor himself could have used some work. He is English and you can pick up on his struggle for an American accent through out the film. In the first few scense he sounds kind of like a handicaped person.
All in all this movie was no good. I am sure all of the sisters who are fans of Twilight will enjoy it because the girls I went with said that there were parts they loved but they agreed all in all it was no good. This movie was not worth the wait.
