So bad people will still be talking about it in 100 years...

Rating: 1/10 (1 May 2010)

First off, this rating is for both films. The Twilight story is just plain bad. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart cannot act (or at the very least, cannot act with each other). Both mumble their lines throughout the two films, half of the time they aren't looking at each other, and cannot do little things like sit down in a natural way. Taylor Lautner is a step up from them, but he plays the character everyone loves to hate, or hates to love: "The Other Guy". Whatever Twilighers say, there is a love triangle in the movies, but although Taylor tries very hard his acting is stifled by both his co-stars poor abilities. The Volturi were a bit of a joke as scary vampire go. Even Lugosi was more intimidating than they were. Overall, the filming for New Moon is improved, but when they insist on doing slow-mo's of Rob Pattinson, people will laugh...and do laugh. I get that bad books make bad movies, they also make bad musicals (case in point for Love Never Dies), although if the book were made into a movie, which was then made into a musical, it might improve (Hillywood show Twilight parodies prove this). Please do yourself a favor and watch the parodies and leave these two poorly acted messes to the scrap heap.
