Don't believe the haters.

Rating: 8/10 (2 December 2009)

I'm really sick of haters that rate this movie 1 just because it's 'Twilight' and therefore it must be bad. Sure the dialogue and acting isn't the greatest, but hey, let's focus only on the bad things and degrade this movie to no end!? Silly...
I've read about 20 comments with the lowest ratings and it's so sad. Let me just focus on a few things that kinda sorta p*ss me off. A lot of comments is on how horrible Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were. You get the feeling that they were the only actors in the movie! Dakota Fanning. Amazingly creepy. She should have more screen time. Michael Sheen. Scary, crazy, as Aro should be. Billy Burke! Come on, you can't say he wasn't good. Seriously people.
The other thing that really annoys me is the comments on how the dialogue was cheesy and how nobody says these things in real life. Hello!? It's a fantasy movie based on a fantasy book, off course it's not real life. At least it's true to the book.
Some also say it's a stupid teen movie and they regret seeing it. Well maybe you shouldn't see it since it's directed towards the teenage-girls fan-base and they're probably not a teenager or a girl. Why waste your time? You want action movie? This is not it.
So in the end I think it's a solid movie, pretty typical book adaptation with a little bit of bad acting, some average acting and some good acting, clever humorous moments, amazing colours (the forest, wow!) and cinematography (esp. the shooting angles). It might help to know the background story a little bit before seeing it.
And please don't believe the haters!
