It only takes one trailer to see that the movie was made for idiots.Trivun said:I do and I'm a nineteen year old guy. I was planning to see it tonight except a friend (also a guy) who saw it last night said that although it was decent, the amount of screaming fangirls made it less enjoyable, so I may wait until an adult screening is done at the local cinema (i.e. 18 and over only). Have you actually seen it, or made an attempt to see it? If so then your opinion is fair and noted. If you haven't made an attempt to see it then what right do you have to criticise it?
And yes, I do like things like Dracula as well. I simply don't agree that Twilight 'ruined' vampires. Although for all the things I like about the series, I still don't like the 'sparkly' vampires idea.
Technically, werewolves don't really have a single original "rulebook" like vampires do as mythic creatures go - there've been stories of beast-men in almost all cultures, "lycanthropy" usually meant people who only ACTED feral, and the Medieval European concept of "werewolf" often WAS a human who magically transformed into a wolf or being half-wolf all the time (like Saint Christopher, a non-longer-recognized Catholic Saint who is depicted with a wolf's head in some early artwork.) What we tend to think of as the "everybody knows" version of Werewolves - i.e. changing with the moon, vulnerable to silver, able to transfer the curse via a bite - only goes back to the mid-1930s when it was made up for Universal Pictures' original "Wolf-Man" movie.awsome117 said:The only thing that you didn't seem to mentioned(which may have been mentioned in pages before) but wouldn't a "werewolf" be "manwolf"? Meaning being half man, half wolf? It seems in twilight they just go straight to wolf or man. Also they can do it when they please, when they can only do certain times and not at their choosing.
You know Hero is barely 90 minutes, and tells a story THREE DIFFERENT WAYS? And it is great?Noelveiga said:Yes, there was a time where movies over two hours long were considered a bad thing. I remember those days. Those are the days filmgoers typically remember as the days with all the good movies. Maybe there is a connection there.Samurai Goomba said:Quoted for truth

WTF is wrong with you? How could books that made a lady richer than the British Queen, thats inspired generations of kids and provided a thoroughly good read to adults be dumb?
But let me guess your one of the morons who hasn't read them? Or you've read the first 3 which were more for kids than the latter ones. Or you live in a cave a spend all day watching anime and reading online comics...yep that'd be you. Your a real champ.
