Avoid this movie unless you're a teenage girl in love with Edward

Rating: 1/10 (2 July 2010)

The hype surrounding the Twilight saga ensures that movie houses are filled to capacity for this third installment, but the truth is that this film is so bad it should be shredded. The plot is so weak that if it wasn't for the endless (and boring) conversation between Bella and Edward about whether she should become a vampire there would be no plot at all. The rationale for the attack of the newborns is feeble and Bella's familial relationships vacuous. If the characters were one-dimensional they would gain a full dimension in weight. The absurd inconsistencies are, in fact, the only source of entertainment -- like the fact that Bella struggles with hypothermia while in her big thick sleeping bag but, the next morning, stands outside in the snow in a light fleece without so much as a shiver. The movie, obviously, targets teenage girls in love with Pattinson and Lautner; everyone else should avoid it.
