it's funny how people think it's over when in the newest videos the video right before this one is "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones - Trailer"
having read 3 out of 4 books, i have to say that it is a lot like Twilight, just more... well everything really. 4 books are out yet and more to come(?) and they can easily make 2-3 movies out of each book. so it will be interesting to see if moviebob reviews that as well.

That's nice, I'm still not going to see it.
EDIT: Although I do have to wonder, if Stephanie Meyer is such a bad writer, how the hell did she ever get published?

Dang, man, 7-minute review? Is this movie really so ridiculous that he has to talk about it that long? Although, given that it's the final Twilight movie and they decide to go balls-out crazy, I suppose it's worth seeing for some entertainment... Personally, though, I'm going to see Wreck-It Ralph again.
Nobody bringing a sword to a beheading fight reminds me of that horrible 2008 movie Jumper, where nobody ever picked up a gun. Even Marvel movies kill off bad guys and the occasional good guy (although just HOW Gwen Stacy's survived for this long I'll never figure out) now and again. Vampire movies without bite, irony aside, are just a load of preening wank, but I'd see this one for the big fight if I had someone to go with (so loneley...).

I can't tell if Bob is trolling us, or this is going to be a cult classic.
Please don't mod wrath me for using the word troll.

I...was not expecting that. A "so bad it's good" movie is one thing, but it never occurred to me that it would be one of the Twilight movies, because the rest of them were just plain bad.
Let's be clear here, you should definitely go see Cloud Atlas. It's at least nineteen different kinds of amazing. No matter how much fun an X-men Vampire war sounds (and it does sound kind of fun, with Bob giggling like that), you should still see Cloud Atlas. Save the terrible but hilarious for the couch with friends, or something.Daaaah Whoosh said:
Ive remained clean of all this tween vampire nonsense up until now, never even touched the cover of any of the book or films ( not kidding). If you say this film bombed in the best of ways then maybe it won't be so painful when I inevitably am forced to watch it.
For some reason that phrase just came out wrong.cyvaris said:
Well another "so bad it's good" movie to watch when "I'm too intoxicated to care what I'm watching" nights.
Wait, wait...
"They feed Dakota Fanning to a giant wolf."
Huh...
So let me get this straight.
Now, I honestly don't have anything implicitly against Dakota Fanning but I... I have got to see this. Aww, but then I have to watch the rest of the movie. Oh well, Rifftrax ho!

I trusted you bob. I trusted you and saw it with the girlfriend and I will never get those hours back.
Nobody ever starved when choosing to feed of other people's lack of taste.canadamus_prime said:
That said, if you have to give the Twilight books credit for one thing (and this is a dubious cookie at best), it's the fact that it taps into the tropes of "really plain girl is special underneath" and "dream guy falls for really plain girl" rather effectively, at least enough to overcome the undercurrent of absolute awfulness of the subtext (e.g., A 100-year-old guy - who hangs out in a HIGH SCHOOL - falls for a teenage girl, not because he's an emotionally underdeveloped asshole*, but because said girl is super-duper special, right? RIGHT?!?!), and that kind of self-insert fantasy is exactly the kind of escapism that appeals to teenage girls and women who didn't quite emotionally leave high school.
Sorry if that sounds like a high horse, but if a guy could live forever but can't come up with anything better to do than go to high school, and you're the (adult) chick who can't see anything wrong with that, YOU are the one with the problem. Teenage girls could be excused, at least to some extent, since most adults have no idea how to talk to teenage girls about this sort of thing. And since they have disposable income...here we are. A successful series that is full of fail, but it's appealing fail.
