Not what I hoped for.....

Rating: 3/10 (8 January 2009)

Now, when this movie was first heard of, everyone could hear the screams of teenage girls clawing to get a peek. The movie remained in the dark and kept fans hungering for more. Calling my younger cousin a few days before the release, I asked her if she could tell me if I should go see it or not. I had high hopes for the movie and was pretty excited along with the rest of America. However, I was going to be mortified.
I saw the movie about two weeks after the release date because I wasn't sure if I should spend my money. I decided just to take the chance and go. I walked into the movie theater with high hopes. As the movie started, I could tell that it wasn't going to live up to my expectations. It was going to get worse.
As the movie went on, I started to shift in my seat whenever I heard line after line of awful scripting. Lines like: "I should eat" and "Hold on tight you spider monkey" had me laughing. It was AWFUL. The lines were not the only thing keeping me entertained. Edward's expressions when encountering Bella in the classroom had him looking like he had food poisoning. When that was over, he had extremely awkward conversations with Bella until their awkward relationship started to form. The movie kept with these traits to the very end. And as I walked away, I would replay some of the funniest moments such as: "SAY IT SAY IT" "vampire....".
In the end, I would have to rate this movie as a "dont waste your money" movie. Its a movie that people should look back on and laugh at its poor scripting. The story behind the movie had so much potential and it saddens me that it had to end up this way. Sorry Twilight fans, this is getting rated a:
3/10
