See, for the bad reputation and the kinda comments this movie have had, I expected something much more awful. It's certainly no masterpiece, though, the target audience is fucking teenage girls, but if you think about it, there are literally hundreds of movies which can receive the same or worse critiques as Twilight that just don't call anybody's attention (aka 99% of romcoms and American TV).
I feel the lead's "bad acting" is just ok. That character isn't meant to have any personality, and, if she did, it is relatable to a lot of teenagers who are pretty much as "alienated" from a more mature pov. Yeah, it's rushed and awkward, but let's not act like movies where a trainwreck gets with a charming, millionaire, loving, sensible, interesting, always well-dressed, funny, and successful bodybuilder who can read a woman's mind portrayed by some Ryan Gosling aren't.
Jeez man, if nobody dissed on this movie, I'd probably have hated every minute of it, but u know what? Everybody's been incredibly hyperbolic about Twilight. I've watched romantic movies deemed as masterpieces that are more idiotic than this one. I don't see how it's the worst movie ever or else, and I think it even delivers in its own right. Seriously though, Chris Nolan flicks have shittier exposition dialogue, and I even read someone say the OST is bad?
Not saying the movie is a masterpiece, but come the fuck on.
Banal and predictable. A movie starring 19-year-olds as 17-year-olds with a script written by 15-year-olds for an audience of 13-year-olds. Utter tripe.
Apart from the bad acting, terrible writing, forced drama, and laughable vampire effects, I had no issues plugging myself into this movie for two hours. The mythological aspects of the story are somewhat intriguing and the Olympic peninsula setting creates for a cozy look and feel. I admit to being somewhat of a film snob, but I'm not pretentious enough to jump on the Twilight hate bandwagon. Not when there are so many worse movies out there.
I lost a bet and had to watch this. Even cheating and using the Rifftrax, I barely made it through. It is even worse than I thought it could ever be. Please, parents, do not let your tween/teen girls watch this movie. It is godawful, and it's not the kind of romantic ideals they should be adopting. And Jacob - put a shirt on and cut your damn hair.
I don't share most people's opinions about this movie. It's not great enough to make me a crazy fangirl but neither is it bad enough for me to hate it. The special effects are good, the suspense in the beginning is very appealing and the story is entertaining - not for everybody of course, but I still like the movie.
