Ho-hum

Rating: 1/10 (23 November 2009)

Why this movie was made? I don't know. Why these books were even written? I don't know. Why this movie made so much money at the box office? I still don't know. The point is, I don't see what the whole fuss is about.
Let me start off with the acting. Kirsten Stewart, who plays Bella, looked like she was about to fall asleep on screen. Robert Pattinson, who plays Edward, was like an emotionless alien, like in the first one. I think Taylor Lautner wasn't paid to star in this movie, and was paid to show off his muscular physique. Even though he seems like a nice guy in real life, his acting in this was bland, and during the second half of the movie, he was acting like an obsessive stalker.
The vampires in these movies don't even have sharp fangs. The ones in movies like 30 Days of Night and Bram Stoker's Dracula are real vampires, because they don't sparkle in the sun or whine about their feelings. I was unimpressed with the werewolves because they were hardly in it, and they weren't very impressive looking. The ones in movies like Ginger Snaps and the Howling are real werewolves, but these weren't very brutal or vicious as werewolves should be.
Overall, this is a pile of crud and deserves to be unwatched by everyone, and they should've had Buffy or Blade come in to slay the Cullens. It's a vampire romance film, and I would say watch "Let the Right One In" instead and it has vampires and werewolves feuding against each other, but I would say watch the Underworld movies instead.
