I honestly can't remember watching a movie where I laughed harder than this one. It's so awkward, I mean holy vampires playing baseball level of awkward. It's not so much the acting that is subpar (Pattinson in particular can certainly act), it's the dialog that is oftentimes as clear as mud. There are so many instances where characters are speaking to each other as if entire sentences in the script were just skipped over. Not only that, but the body language of both Stewart and Pattinson is incoherent and rarely matches the jumble of lines they are trying to deliver. It's not nearly as bad as the mountains of negativity fired at it but it was certainly good for buckets of unintentional comedy. I honestly have no regrets.
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.
I can't find any redeeming qualities about this series whatsoever. The acting is horrible. The plot is laughable. The direction is uninspired. This is designed for an audience that knows nothing about film making. I'm not not really sure how anyone finds this entertaining. This could be the worst movie franchise of all- time.
I enjoyed this more than Hardwicke's earlier Thirteen, probably because the message is rendered more palatable when smothered in genre sauce. Like Thirteen, it's a story about a girl whose intimate friendship careers her life off the path of the regular kids'. And when I say 'intimate' I mean as intimate as one can get without, y'know, doing it. Which reminds me, I need to work on my smoldering stare, because when I do it, I get pepper sprayed.
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.
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.
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.
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.
