Very Disappointing
I can't even begin to describe how disappointed I was with this film.
The acting was horrible, the storyline was pieced together, and it was just plain boring. I've read the books and enjoyed them. I was excited to see the movie. I'm so sorry I spent the money to go see it. The only reason I think it got so much enthusiasm was because of the teenage girls gushing about Taylor Laudner's bare chest throughout the movie. If it wasn't for frequency of that, I think even they might have noticed how bad the film was. Don't expect to see me in line to watch the next two installments of Twilight.. bobby180 watch Titan A.E. movie

Seriously, why does Emmerich even bother casting actors? Just show stuff blowing up. That's all he cares about. Watching this is like seeing any number of faceless human traits and personalities in human skin. There's not a shred of acting going on here, because everyone has a one-line definition of who their character is and what he does. John Cusack? Writer and terrible dad. Woody Harrelson? Crazy government conspiracy cook. Danny Glover? Selfless president. Chiwetel Ejiofor? Intelligent scientist with all the answers. Roland, next time, just blow stuff up. Save the money you'd be paying actors and just blow more stuff up..
Acting so wooden I got splinters
I have to admit, as an adult woman, I read the entire "Twilight"
series. I am not obsessed by it -- but it was a fun, escapist read, even though I still have some reservations about the obsessive nature of love as depicted in these books. "New Moon" was better, production-wise, than "Twilight" (I know, damned by faint praise.) But does Kristin Stewart have more than two expressions? She alternates between a vacant stare that is meant to denote intensity, and a stare with a tiny frown between her eyes that denotes distress. She speaks in a monotone and slouches around when she's not curled up in a fetal position, leaving one to wonder -- what exactly does Edward see in this girl, anyway? And Robert Pattinson -- He reminds me of "The Look" that Ben Stiller "perfected" in "Zoolander" -- i.e., a dozen looks, and they all look precisely alike. He can, at least, scowl nicely -- and as a result, tends to overuse it. Basically, though -- he can't act. This is a man who is meant to be burning with passion, and the only thing I can focus on is "what god-awful shade of lipstick did they put on that boy?" The rest of the Cullens got short shrift in this movie, with only token appearances. Jacob's transformations were never fully explained in the movie -- unless you have read the book, you have NO idea what in the heck he's talking about, much less why. I have to wonder how often he practiced whipping off his shirt to help Bella when she hits her head - it was pretty practiced, and obviously self-conscious, as if he could just hear the squeals of the teenagers in the theatre as he did it. But at least Taylor Lautner was allowed to show a certain engaging charm. Dakota Fanning as Jane looked good in amber contacts, but her role was extremely brief, and basically consisted of staring and marching around in odd Mary Jane-style shoes. Michael Sheen was rather intriguing as Aro, and actually came closest to my mental image of the characters. Towards the end of the movie, the editing got pretty sloppy. The transitions were abrupt and, again, if you hadn't read the book, you'd be wondering where in the hell the yellow Porsche came from. The transition from Italy to Forks was possibly the most abrupt, and failed to re-establish the connection between Bella and Edward. The book has enough faults of its own in character development -- I guess it's too much to hope that a movie would be able to correct those faults.. |
