Im a Film Enthusiast, Get me Out of Here Please

Rating: 4/10 (12 December 2009)

I am sorry to say that this was one of the worst films I have seen this year. If I had watched it on DVD instead the cinema, I would have switched off after five minutes. It is a very boring film indeed with very little continuity, though got to say that my 11 year old son loved it and he is reading the books. My guess is if you like High School Musical 3 and 17 Again, you will probably like this also. When people fidget with their handfones after only a few minutes, it is a sure sign. the love triangle of the human girl, vampire and werewolf is a curious one and I hope they explore that more in Twilight 3 rather than concentrate on Twilight 3 the Love Story. Many of the previous sentiments I echo. Bella as a young woman, should be portrayed as someone wanting to live and to represent moral and social values, not give herself to the afterlife with a vampire or a werewolf. Change of director, change of setting I think also needed, get the story back out of American hands and give it to the French who really know how to make a movie like this. I did like the scene in the town (French?) when all the townspeople were dressed up in red at midday and it helped to give meaning to the opening scene of the film but to contradict myself, the scene was an expensive overstatement to the film which is after all set in America not in Europe. The Jake actor has real potential but sorry Edward Cullen, you don't cut it for me
