This movie sucks!

Rating: 1/10 (30 June 2010)

Let me just preface this review by saying I knew this movie would be bad. I had no doubt about that but what I didn't anticipate was just how bad it would be. It really was one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life.
The lead actors need some acting lessons, badly. I felt as if I was watching amateur night at the community theatre and not some highly paid (and unjustifiably so, in my opinion) Hollywood actors.
Robert Pattinson spends the entirety of his scenes looking constipated. As a vampire, he's not convincing in the slightest. I feel his "acting chops" would've been much better suited to a Pepto-Bismol commercial.
Kristen Stewart once again manages to make her character totally inarticulate. It's really difficult to even watch her as she blinks, stutters and stammers her way through each line of dialogue she has. Also, she has a highly annoying habit of arching her eyebrow. I have no clue why she does this but it's very irritating.
Taylor Lautner has a big problem with overacting. His performance doesn't ring true, it seems rather forced and unconvincing. His effeminate voice doesn't help him to sound intimidating while speaking lines when he's supposed to sound as such. Also, while unrelated to his acting, still a major annoyance is that his character only wears a shirt for about two minutes of the movie and the rest of the time he's bare-chested. He has no reason to go around without a shirt other than to try to play the "beefcake", and it's nauseating. One scene or two without the shirt would've been enough to "get the idea", not the whole movie.
The supporting cast is largely forgettable, and seemingly unimportant to rest of the film. It's almost as if you're watching a movie that only truly has three characters in it. Every one else is just sort of there.
The CGI was horrible. You would have thought with as much money as the first movie made they could've gotten some halfway decent effects for the sequel but I guess not.
Watching this, I didn't even really feel like I was watching a real movie. It was so horribly boring and uninteresting that I could hardly finish it. In truth, I don't even know why I did other than to be able to give a full review on exactly why it was so terrible.
I was hoping that with "Eclipse" being released today that I'd only have to listen to all the undeserved hype about "Twilight" for one more movie, "Breaking Dawn", but now the greedy movie studio behind the franchise has decided to split the last book into two movies so they can keep the kiddies coming back in order to milk them out of as much money as they can before this fad is forgotten like the Macarena. I dread having to hear about this series another minute, let alone for the next year or two. Why can't people see how crappy these movies are and just stop seeing them? I mean, I saw it for free so I don't feel bad for contributing to its gross. No way in hell would I have paid to see this. You shouldn't either!
