Twilight was better..........and thats saying something!!

Rating: 3/10 (4 December 2009)

After not enjoying the 1st film at all i had my reservations for this sequel. However, after seeing the trailer (these guys really should get 50% of most film sales as this is why i go most the time!) i felt hopeful. New director - check. So a good start.
Now i haven't read any of the books - just the hype from friends, and young female friends of the family. As a film it was poor, very poor.
I have a female friend who hates the whole series and does her impression, it goes a little like this: "I love you Edward, I love you to Bella, oh Bella i cant live without you, I love you so much Edward" and this is pretty much the 1st 30minutes of the film. As stated by quite a few people with some of the worst acting seen on the big screen since.....well....the 1st twlight film.
The next 40/50 minutes is a very boring outing about Jacob and his back ground story. Which again sees some very strange acting, mood changes and poor story telling.
It then ends with the most interesting part of the film (last 20minutes) which tells you the most information the whole film, and the revelation and relevance to the story is very good with some nice action.
This i feel was a total lose of opportunity - seems they were after purely the 12-15year old girls with a poor script, poor acting and general bad production - the only plus i could see and which was done OK was the induction of 5 buff young men which will keep the young girls/older women happy. When compared to such a film as titanic which imo was a very successful mix of romance and action and worked for men and women of both ages.
New moon? i think more PMT!!
