Horrible

Rating: 1/10 (19 December 2009)

I am a fan of the books. I enjoyed reading them. However, I do not like the movies. I saw Twilight last year and thought "Wow, Summit ruined it." I was generous and decided to give New Moon a chance with the movie having a new director. I am giving up being generous.
The Good: 1) Dakota Fanning as Jane was just how I pictured Jane in the books. Kudos to her. 2) Taylor Lautner, Peter Facinelli, Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed, Jackson Rathborne and Elizabeth Reaser return and I was impressed with their performances.
The Bad: 1) What was with all the extra scenes? They weren't in the book!
The Ugly: 1) Why did Robert Pattinson take off his shirt? He's gross. When I saw New Moon everyone in the theater went "Ewww" when Pattinson took off his shirt. 2) Kristen Stewart CANNOT ACT! Why did they pick her as Bella? In the books, Bella has a personality, you know? Stewart portrays her as someone who is detached from this world. Emily Browning would have been a much better choice. 3) Robert Pattinson may be a heartthrob to some but he cannot act.
All in all, Summit ruined the movies and picked horrible actors for the lead role. Stop with the movies! You're ruining the books!
If you do want to continue the movies because you're not listening to the fans, pick better actors for the rest of the roles, please! Unless you pick better actors for the leads, I won't be spending anymore money on the Twilight movies.
