Definitely better than the first two... but that's not saying much

Rating: 4/10 (1 July 2010)

As a fan of the books, it surprised me that I was actually afraid of how terrible the movie would be. Yes, I didn't even think of the possibility of it being good. And I wasn't disappointed.
What's the problem? Definitely not the director, I mean they've changed it at least 3 times and it still sucks. The writing? Of course. The story is so low and plain. It doesn't have a course. It's like they filmed parts of the books that they knew fans would love to see and try to link them without success. If I hadn't read the books, I wouldn't get a single clue of the story or the big deal about Bella (that even the books can't explain). The lines are so repetitive. We know by heart what Lautner will say every time he puts his puppy face and what Bella'll respond. Also, we don't quite understand in this movie Edward-Bella relationship. I mean, in the first one is all "I'll die for you" and "You're my everything" and now all that (after all the sacrifices that BOTH made) goes to ***. I was at the point of wanting to kill Bella to stop all this fuzz around her.
Even though they tried to show us more of the relationship Bella has with her mother, you don't understand at all why she keeps treating her parents like that. Charlie for her doesn't matter at all. I used to understand all of this in the books, but now I see it's also wrong there. Come on, you shouldn't be daring to leave them forever.
Acting. So LAAAAAAAMEEE. Come on. We've seen Stewart in other movies and she's definitely OK. We've seen Pattinson, and I particularly loved him as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter. Lautner is the best of the main three, but still that's not saying much. Of course Anna Kendrick, Billy Burke and Dakota Fanning steal the scene every time they appear, but it's not enough. They need to show some freaking emotion. Pattinson's face the whole movie stays like this: -.-
Makeup? You have to admit it is by far the best of the three movies... but, again, that's not saying much. What I mean is that if in Twilight you could see the difference between their neck and their face, now you can't... but it still looks like chalk. In one scene I could actually saw Carlisle's WHITE eyebrows. LOL! Besides, Bella's wig was TERRIBLE. And what's worse is that they kept showing her face so close that you could see everything.
Sets were amazing. Music was fine but it didn't make me had goose bumps like every good scene with great music does. And the clothes... Actually they were pretty great, according to each character, you know. Effects? Definitely better than the first two but... guess what? That's not saying much. Yes, I am saying that too much. And what's worst... WHY THE HELL DID VAMPIRES LOOKED LIKE THAT? Like some freaking crystal. Wolves looked like Lotso in Toy Story 3, but I have to admit the fights were really great.
Anyway, it's not worth it. I guess those books aren't meant to be good movies.
Oh! I almost forgot! The worst part of it ALL? (Yes, there's something worst) WAS THE FANS! God! I wanted to kill them more than I wanted to kill Bella! And THAT is saying something. I have 16 years old and definitely read some other books. They don't have a clue of what "adaptation" means (neither the people who work in this, I guess). At one point I was about to throw my shoe to her face, but I contained myself.
Seriously, if you're seeing a movie you want to WATCH, then WATCH IT and shut up.
