Hmmm.....

Rating: 3/10 (5 December 2009)

Hmm... What can I say? I'm clearly not in the target audience of this film... A 26 year old man, who took his girlfriend to see it. I haven't read any of the books, but I have basic knowledge of the plot.
Like the first, this film misses far more often then it hits. I'm quite the action fan, and I enjoy the idea of Werewolves vs Vampires, (Underworld and it's sequels) I just found myself so bored throughout this film. As with the first. I loved the baseball scene in the first, and I LOVED the wolves, and the CGI used to create them. I thoroughly enjoyed each scene they were in and in my opinion, the film could have done with a lot more of them. The scenes where they chase Victoria out of town where fantastic. Also, I enjoyed the scene with the paper cut. Sadly, I had to sit through 2 hours of put on romance and blatant filming that is simply there to snap knicker elastic, (the first scene with Edward, and the carefully rehearsed scene when Bella bangs her head spring instantly to mind) just to get to the best bits.
I just don't it. I just don't buy Edward and Bella's relationship. I just don't buy Bella's and Jacob's relationship. I haven't read the books so I may be missing some important plot. But this film had no pace. This film was too long.
As far as my limited knowledge of the Twilight Saga goes, the third film should be more interesting. Please guys, for the love of god, do something. Us men have sat through 2 whole films blatantly aimed at the girls. Give us something. As long as Jacob has his shirt off, and you recast Robert Pattison, the girls will be happy. Us guys are dying here!
