Are just some of the corny lines that are delivered in this second masterpiece installment of the Twilight Saga. I think it's fair to say that it's okay to like this movie, everyone has their opinions, but here's mine. I didn't mind this movie at all, in fact I thought it was very unintentionally funny! But the difference between myself and others like me verses some die-hard ignore quality people, is that I enjoyed this movie, but still know that the production quality lacked, the dialog was horrible and overall, it was pretty sh*t....
Wanna she Kristen Stewart act? You won't find it here. Maybe it's the source material she had to work with. Go watch her in 'Speak' or 'The Cake Eaters' she is a phenomenal actress (I've been a fan of hers ever since I saw her in 'Cold Creek Manor' back in the day, I always knew that little tomboy would be hot one day!). As for Rob, Taylor, Ashley and the others they know their part was just to stand there and look pretty. I'm sure, they do have talent, but it won't be shown here, rather their beauty did most of the work. Even esteemed actors Michael Sheen (the 'Lycan' in 'Underworld', and his Oscar nominated role in Frost/Nixon) and Dakota Fanning couldn't display their acting chops, probably again because of the source material.
There's no reason for the dialog to come off that cheesy, unless of course it was intentional. Now I know why Catherine Hardwicke wanted to spend more time going over the script, instead of being hushed to make this. That's probably why she was replaced. Can you imagine the executives at Summit rushing out is sh*t-tackler film, what the next one is gonna be like? Not only was the script probably done in less time, but the fact that it's already done filming. Hopefully, the third will be better, but I didn't think the second was better than the first.........
Production wise, I feel like a little more money should be spent to touching up the special effects. Summit knows it's gonna make a ton of money, either way. Why not put a little more into it? For the sake of the film as art.
These films could be much better I believe, if a little more time was spend on QA control (revisions/time spent on the script, special effects etc.).....
But nonetheless, it was fun to laugh and enjoy the film for the wrong reasons. No, this is not the worst movie I've seen this year.......that honor goes to 'The Fourth Kind'.....Now that pasty face (supposed real life Dr. Abigail Tyler) is more frightening then any vampire or werewolf in this film!
