A disappointment at "Twilight"
Yes you heard right. I am sure I am writing blasphemy for all you die hard fans out there but I have to weigh in on this much anticipated film:
The sweet love of my life bought me tix to see the movie "Twilight" on Sat night so I hurriedly got a babysitter and we were off on our romantic night out at the movies. I was excited I didn't know what to expect.
I was interested in the scenery, music, and special effects. Beyond that the movie fell flat and lacked the emotional capacity the book delivered so beautifully and powerfully. As an acting major, I enjoy theatre and film VERY much and look forward to engaging in these experiences. I am sometimes critical of what I see but mostly I enjoy the art. I enjoyed the art of this film and little else. The acting was HORRIBLE! The actress who played Bella bugged me in a major way. She never did have an emotional change in the whole movie. I couldn't tell when she went from confusion and anger at Edward's behavior towards her to infatuation and love. HUH??? Was it there? She played one emotion...confused. And what was up with all her audible breathing? Dr. Cullen just made me laugh out loud. Are you serious? I was NOT expecting him at all. The vampire family looked more like fairies than vampires. I mean Bella's eye makeup was way darker than there's! I don't know if I had not read the book if I would have even know what was going on or understood the plot. The best acting was James and Victoria. Too bad they killed James off! All in all, I was disappointed in the lack of meat of the film (where was the bond?) and the acting-was horrendous!
That's my report and I'm sticking to it. I'd give it 2 stars.

I heard quite a few disappointing reviews before I went....so I was expecting a lot worse. All in all I was pleasantly surprised that it was as good as it was. (I thought it would be much worse!)
i am glad you didn't like it! I have purposely not gone and probably am not going to see it b/c the actors especially Edward are horrible! Ewwww.....Congrats on your baby! 4 boys oh my!
