Total waste of my night

Rating: 3/10 (21 November 2008)

I have read the Twilight series from long before they were popular, when Twilight was just a standalone novel with a small but avid fan base. When i heard Hollywood was making this into a movie i couldn't describe how excited i was.
What they released on screen makes me wish they would NEVER EVER do this again. I'm sorry but at this point the fans should have some say in the quality of acting, not to mention the special effects. The acting between Edward and Bella was cringe worthy, and people were actually laughing at parts that weren't supposed to be funny. Famous lines ("and so the lion fell in love with the lamb", etc) were BUTCHERED, most of the time Edward just looked constipated and sounded whiney instead of the brooding but in love vampire he's supposed to be, and don't even get me started about the ridiculousness of him running up the tree with Bella or how he was supposed to sparkle in the sun.
Had i not been a huge fan, this might not have been QUITE as bad, but what makes it worse is to know they followed the plot pretty well but still failed that bad at having even an attempt at decent acting. Alice and Jacob were probably the only two that had decent acting in that whole movie.
All in all, i think this movie was just rushed through and the director was to worried about making it look artistic and poignant rather than focus on the basics, like acting and character interaction. Hell i'd rather have less special effects in the place of more believable acting, rather than forced lines, little to no chemistry, and that constant constipated look on Edwards face at any given moment. Bring the boy some Pepto and re-shoot that whole damn movie. I am just PRAYING they do a better job on the second movie (if there will even be a second movie).
