Awful

Rating: 4/10 (2 October 2010)

This movie is simply awful and painful to watch honestly. I read all the books and although the writing is not that good in the books either the movie is worse. Bella's acting is completely annoying, she can't give a convincing line, no chemistry between her and Edward either. She has the same facial movements throughout the entire movie (unfortunately not more than 3). Edward is in this movie only to remind the teens of how gorgeous he is and that's it. In each one of his lines he looks like he's in pain or he's gonna throw up (same thing I noticed about Pattinson in 'Remember me'). Not to mention the fact he's wearing some kind of lipstick which is wrong on so many levels. Jacob's performance isn't worth mentioning because I am convinced he wasn't designed to act. His sole reason for being in this movie is given by the amount of muscles he grew. Not once in this horrendous 2 hours movie have I felt that he's genuinely in love with Bella. The rest of the characters are simply props because they don't give any cohesion whatsoever in the plot, they are just killing time until the sequences with Bella and Edward appear. I put my hopes and dreams that at least the famous 'blanket scene' will capture something of the books essence but it failed dramatically. It seems that the actors are just repeating the lines, they have no feeling, no empathy, anyone from the street could have done this scene better. The details about the Cullen members' transformation into vampires should have been stretched into a second part of the movie. There are too many things that are included in this movie to make it look like the book, that ruin the movie for good. It's like a soup inflated with too many ingredients. The impression I got after watching both 'New Moon'and 'Eclipse' is that they were made without any intent of creating a decent movie. They relied only on the success of the books and on the cravings of the teenage girls for seeing Pattinson over and over again. The first part of the series was different at least it offered a closer look at Bella's feelings somewhat similar to the book. In conclusion the worst spent 2hours of my life.I'm really sorry I paid for the ticket I could have used the money on popcorn and it still would have been a better investment
