Simply Awful.

Rating: 2/10 (21 November 2009)

Let's see, where to begin...
I hated the first film and thought, hey I might as well venture along to see this one. I figured there was no possible way it could be any worse than the first with the budget and hype and all.
Boy was I wrong. The film was probably in the worst 10 movies I have EVER seen, especially with the promotion and money put into production. The acting was HORRIFIC. The smaller roles actually did a fairly good job of developing their own characters with the writing constraints as bad as they were, but the main characters (the main 3) DO NOT KNOW HOW TO ACT! Why? I haven't the faintest clue, but I'm telling you, the only reason they are in the movie are for the whole "sex appeal" thing. Did they even have to audition besides taking off their shirts? Honestly, no character development, excessively cheesy one-liners, and NO EMOTION WHATSOEVER.
The script was terrible also. The actors, even if they were outstanding, could not have saved the writing. No plot progression. It spend a good portion featuring her staring a motorcycle, then decided to completely skip any explanation and jump into a cheesy romance line designed for impressionable adolescent girls. I have not the books, so following the plot was quite difficult. It was altogether absent from the movie. Quick synapse of the movie: Kristen crying over Robert at one point, and showing no expression of emotion at the rest. Kristen staring at Taylor, Taylor taking off his shirt, Kristen blinking rapidly in Italy, Rob throwing out a few lines of how much in contrast of the rest of the movie he actually is, and then Kristen running back to him while he stands hunchback and glares at the wolf. Not much of a plot. And besides the obvious fact, that vampires firstly do not exist, but are in fact portrayed as creatures from h**l, it seems that the author and the screenplay writer are creating a sort of delusion amongst teenage girls. Whether they understand that this is NOT HOW LIFE IS or not, it's NOT HEALTHY to be that obsessed over a stupid fictional story.
Women often say men are shallow, but I vouch that anyone who truly enjoyed this movie on the basis of "romance" (to which there honestly was little), are the shallow ones. Little girls screaming at Taylor taking off his clothing was about all the romantic content in this movie, apart from Rob existing for the majority of the audience.
Any good points? The backup characters. They did what little they could to lend themselves to the film. Is it worth seeing? ABSOLUTELY NOT. Thankfully, I did not waste my own $10.00 viewing this catastrophe.
I frown upon anyone who views these Twilight films with cult mannerism. It's one thing to love cult movies such as Anchorman, Fight Club, or even the recent Men Who Stare at Goats, but this is so poorly written I would hope and pray that all these spoiled, impressionable teenagers would open up their eyes and take a little look at what life really is.
