Avoid like your jugular depended on it.

I went to see New Moon this morning and got exactly what I was expecting: not much.
I haven't read any of the books and HATE it when people remind me of that when I talk about these films. I hate it, because it makes no sense whatsoever. Why? Because that's EXACTLY why I *AM* in a good position to rate these movies as their own right as they SHOULD be reviewed and NOT as an adaptation! And they suck, because they're boring, corny, utterly cheesy and just plain stupid.
The actors look fittingly bored the whole time and it's no wonder when you consider the moronic dialogue of a garbage they have to spill out with a straight face. And the less said about the shirtlesness the better.. "oh look, Bella has a teeny weeny cut on her forehead. What would make her feel better? I know, I'll take my shirt off." The only good thing about New Moon were the wolves. They looked cool, largely thanks to their massive size which made them genuinely a bit threatening. That's really pretty much it. Garbage and a waste of time.
Next time a woman complains to me about films like American Pie (and yes, I am aware of the coincidence of these films having the same director) objectifying women, I'll throw The Twilight Saga right in their hypocritic face and tell them to shut up right then and there. I rest my case.
