Are you kidding me!!!!??!!

Just to be clear from the start - I'M A WOMAN! An I'd like to make that clear because I've read and heard lots of opinions of this movie and the general trend is that women are absolutely GAGA for it, while men slander it. I saw this movie yesterday - I had better things to do before :). It wasn't much different from the previous ones - nothing really happened in the first hour. The only attempt of a good scene was the one where Bella was kicking Jacob's ass for imprinting on her daughter. The reason I say "attempt of a good scene" is because the woman's lack of facial expression kills the entire effort she (obviously) puts in the scene. Her mouth moves and tries to make her look disgusted, but her eyebrows are frozen - Does she use botox? And if she does, does she need to or is it just something us mere mortals who don't live on planet Hollywood don't understand? The last half hour of the movie - the battle scene - is OK. It gives it a bit of a kick. The bit that actually disappointed me was the part where we find out the battle DIDN'T ACTUALLY HAPPEN within the story. No, I didn't read the book and wasn't expecting such a turnout. ARE YOU KIDDING ME???!!!! THE ONLY GOOD PART OF THIS MOVE DIDN'T MATTER AT ALL in the story??? You mean I just wasted the last hour and a half of my life looking at ... nothing? I was just thinking there was a bit of character in this whole thing, bits of actual personalities were emerging and then ... nothing !!!???! This is what everybody was fussing about? Even the special effects were a bit too obvious for my taste. I was willing to get over that during the battle scene, but after that awful outcome, HEEEEEELLL NO!! It all makes me wonder: Why is Dakota Fanning in this movie? They didn't use her fabulous talent for anything. They should have at least made her one hell of a bad girl, but no. They just ignored her and decided to concentrate on miss "Ice" Stewart. So, sorry girls, as much as I'd love to say the guys are wrong about this one, they're not. This is one BAAAAD movie. The only movie I hated more was "2012", and that one at least had some killer special effects.
