Not bad for a 2009 movie... if you don't take the message seriously

Rating: 7/10 (23 January 2010)

Regarding the fact that most of the movies made lately are absolutely unwatchable, this is not so bad. It is surely much better than Twilight, and this is due to Jacob Black. There are still bad, bad things in it. First, Bella is awful as always, with her obsession to become a vampire (who the hell would want such a stupid existence?!... Good God, I just can't understand the fascination for become a vampire, though I surely understand the fascination for the phenomenon itself... what the hell are you thinking, guys?... or are you thinking at all?...). There is no respect for the werewolf or vampire lore whatsoever. Edward is quite bad. And the big tomcats (I saw that in the movie were called werewolves, but I'm sure it's a mistake, they were clear giant tomcats, not a resemblance with a werewolf whatsoever... see The Wolfman if you are seeking for something real regarding this aspect)... they were purely laughable. But there are good things to. As I said, Jacob Black is a very well made character, and it is played excellent. Too bad he cut his hair, this made him appear younger and not so serious like until then. But he was still good. The Volturi were good either. Something like Interview with a vampire kind of vampires, which is not very good, but still is good comparing this to the Cullen family. And Jasper managed to be frightening. This is a good point too. I can recommend this movie, if you can ignore the Bella and Edward storyline, which appears to me also stupid and immoral. Because believe me, to be a vampire or with a vampire is NOT something a normal person will want. Not in the least.
