Pretty Awful...

Rating: 1/10 (9 January 2010)

Even if you did like the books, you will most likely find this movie terrible. If, like me, you didn't like the books.... you'll still hate it.
The lines are poorly delivered, the special effects are bad, and the script is so awful you'll laugh. First off, Bella is ridiculously moody; from her unrealistic obnoxious screaming while having her "bad dreams," her utter disregard for anything that isn't "Edward" related, to her stupid "I don't really like music anymore" line. The character is clearly being made to relate to "angsty" teens, and at the same time generate sympathy from the viewer. It fails to do both. What is portrayed as "true love" is actually an obsession, and even if it was portrayed as an obsession this movie would still fail miserably. Secondly, Robert Pattinson isn't necessarily a bad actor, but his performance in this is incredibly wooden. While Kristen Stewart {Bella} overacts, he simply doesn't act. His lines seem to be devoid of all emotion, which sounds silly when he delivers the "I love you" lines. The movie practically has no plot, it's really a bunch of "Edward/Bella" dramatics. Even in the end when there's the big "action" scene there is no action. Edward basically get's thrown around the entire time, while Bella screams "NO!" Rent this movie for laughs.
