Twilight (Movie Review)
- Thread starter Maet
- Start date
I never wanted to see the movie in the first place but my friend dragged me to it, I think because she secretly hates me, and I can honestly say it was one of the worst films I had ever seen... even my sister who wanted to see the movie thougth it sucked. at first we were very confused, we didn't even know what to think of it, so my sister suggested we see it again, and I was like "hell no I'm not wasting my money on that crap twice!"
I enjoyed the book, but I wouldn't recommend it, especially to guys...

This thread is awesome. I'm a girl and I think the Twilight series fails.
I havent seen the movie but dont ever intend to because the books were so uneventful, predictable and sappy.
In the first book nothing happens until the very end and whoops, she faints through the whole thing and we miss it all anyways. Then after the first book the entire series seemed to be Bella whinging and trying to have sex with Edward.
As for the movie the casting sucks... Edward is not at all attractive and in the Trailer Bella doesn't seem to be able to speak unless it's in a monotomous emotionless tone.
I am so damn sick of squealing fangirls -_-
Looking forward to the Southpark episode coming out

Good review, and only about 3 people on this site would disagree with you. Read the books and you really understand just how bad the writing is. I really hope the movie is better. I'd rather lose a liver (think about it to add significance to what I say) than watch it.
I'm 17 and male and currently reading the book and to be honest i think its brillant. I just bought tickets and until ive seen it (it's not out over her in england till the 19th) i will stand by the fact that the novel is amazing
My one point is the fact that Edward (the vampire) doesnt look anythinglike how he is described in the book, which is a relief because i now know that i will be fine taking my girlfriend to see it, cuz hes ugly

Are you joking? I managed to get through 100 torturous pages and got fucking sick of her constantly whining about the rain, and the stupid flowery language that Ms Meyer insists on using. It's shit of the worst kind, and I thought the Da Vinci Code was bad. Furthermore, my girlfriend is forcing me to take her, and pay £12 to do so, but I've made her agree to watch 30 Days Of Night and Blade II, for her to see what real vampires are.psico666 said:I'm 17 and male and currently reading the book and to be honest i think its brillant.

That was an excellent read, Maet. Here's proof:
I showed this review to my sister (an avid Twilight fangirl), and she laughed her head off in agreement. I mean, you can't do that every day.
However, as a review, I think that it was somewhat lacking. I believe you should structure it bit better, give a few less excerpts (nonetheless - I enjoyed them) and focus on the good points (at least try to find one - as hard as it is) to make it a bit more professional. I sort of half-agreed, half-disagreed with your view of Australia, you see.
Oh, and this quote:
Anyway, thanks for the read, I hope to see some more in the future.

You would be disgusted to know that this was one of the key events of the book. Eugh.Maet said:

I also felt this review was one of my weaker pieces and a little unbalanced. To cut Twilight some slack, I overlooked a few other major problems with the film. You see, the vampires also have powers beyond super-speed and super-strength. For instance, Edward has the ability to read minds for some reason, and Alice (a minor vampire character) can allegedly see the future. I felt that I was complimenting the film by ignoring this terrible aspect of it.Lord Krunk said:
Though I do feel that this review is definitely not as streamlined as it could have been.
I plan to watch and review either The Day the Earth Stood Still, Doubt, or Gran Torino next.
Nonetheless, I loved it.Maet said:
Oh, and I don't know if the movie explains this, but the book states that there are many different breeds of Vampire, with different personalities, powers and whatnot. It explains that Edward is an Italian 'nice' vampire and that the rest of the Cullens are from different breeds as well.
Do you know why I know this? Because I'm writing a review of the book. It's mostly negative, but there were some bits that I enjoyed, mostly.
The movie makes a passing reference to this, but doesn't dwell on it for too long. Essentially, all the movie says is that the Cullens are 'nice vampires' because of their animal blood and vegetarian diet. There are a few other bits, but that's the main idea.Lord Krunk said:
I'm tempted to go through my sister's copy of the book to see if that lines I quoted from the movie are really quoted verbatim from the book.
You've got to be joking, if a single little minute of this were a key point, than that proves the whole story is pointless.Lord Krunk said:
Girl in my class yelling to friend: Hey want to go see twilight with us! Were going to go see it a second time it?s so awesome!
I turn to tell friend: Yeah cam (friend?s name) you love choppy special effects and half ass acting! Go see it, because we all know that you should trust people?s tastes in movies when there three top ten movies are the three high school musical films.

Wow guys, thanks for saving my life there. One of my friends was going to force me to go watch it, and all her friends went to go see it about two or three times too. Well, all I have to is suddenly come down with with a case of Salmonella or Ebola next week and I'll be in the clear.
