Not the worst film I've ever seen (but comically baaad!)

Rating: 2/10 (4 December 2009)

I've not given this film a 1 simply because I've never seen the first so I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt - maybe I just didn't have the level of involvement with the characters that I should have. Anyway this is the only film I've ever been to see where the audience have gasped and cringed audibly at the really, really awful bits (except for the odd dodgy horror flick, but that's part of their charm). The moment where the werewolf guy takes off his shirt after "adrenaline junkie" Bella bangs her head when falling off her motorbike immediately comes to mind...just laughable! The acting is breathtaking in it's badness too. Robert Pattinson is just tragic - he thinks mumbly = moody. Well in a sort of teenage, hormonal way it does, but he should be through the teenage moodiness now - his character is past the century mark. PLEASE LEARN TOO ENUNCIATE ROB - He makes my Northern English sound like I'm about third in line to the throne. The lead girl has loads more chemistry with Pattinson's on screen Dad, in fact after the "papercut" incident when he was fixing her up I kind of assumed the director had asked for some kind of on screen frisson. Hey I've not read the books so maybe thats where it heading, keeping it in the family and all that. Perhaps I'm too old for this rubbish and just don't get it? I should've known when I bought the tickets, when the seller gave a little giggle, where it was all headed, lol. Maybe like a vampire I haven't got a soul. I think this is just fair for teenage girls who aren't really watching, but they really need to be engrossed in something else to not notice how terrible this is.
