What the...?

Rating: 3/10 (21 November 2008)

First of all, I gave it a three because it was so awkward that you just had to laugh. If not for the laughing, i think i would have given it a 1 or a 2.
Basically what i feel it comes down to is a poor director. The movie moved very fast. The "romancing" section of the movie was fast and confusing if you have not read the book. It was like, hello, my name is Edward I am a vampire, and Bella falls in love with him right away. Many of the lines were horribly delivered. Now, I don't know if this is the actors fault or more the directors visions of the scene. The scene with edward and bella in the forest and him shouting "as if you could catch me..." left me and my friends feeling awkward at the strange acting. This was only one of the scenes that left us like that. And it was at these points that made us laugh because, how else were we to respond? In my own personal opinion, I feel like some of the actors were poorly cast. I did not like Bella. She seemed to have one face as well as no inflections to her voice. I was also expecting more from Robert Pattinson. For me he was a disappointment, being overly dramatic all the time. The famous biology scene was ridiculous, with him covering his nose and making faces. I thought Edward was rigid and stone faced. Though this could have been due to the director of course...
I am going on and on, so let me finish up. Overall, the movie was over-dramatic and poorly directed in my opinion. There were some good parts, i found James to be refreshing compared to all the other actors.
I would not suggest to go see this movies in the theatre. Maybe rent it if you are really curious...
I had really hoped more out of this movie. I believe that if they change the director, they could really change it around, and add better special effects as well.
alright, im done now :-)
