Teenage Angst Gone Wild

Rating: 3/10 (6 July 2010)

It is rare that I actually write a review, but this film warranted some sort of posting. This was, without exception, one of the WORST films I have ever seen. I knew there would be a flimsy plot, because I read the book(s). However, the acting in this film is what really made it painful to watch. Pattinson was decent, but unremarkable. A much older looking Stewart maintained her forever-pouting look throughout. Lautner was nice eye candy, but absolutely abysmal to watch in his attempt at acting. As for acting... thank God for the supporting cast. The best scene of the film -- and the one which earned it a "3" for my vote -- was the final fight scene. Some night slow motion shots were pulled off quite well. However, a five-minute scene can't save this film from being amazingly shallow and poorly acted throughout.
