Not as Bad as I Thought...But Still A Bad Movie.

Rating: 4/10 (20 November 2009)

Okay, first of, the books suck. The sad truth is that Stephenie Meyer, who wrote the books, cannot write, and broke the number one rule when you've write a book: show, don't tell. The books suck ass. Therefore I didn't care to see this movie. That's why I didn't see it in the theaters. When it came out on DVD, I decided to check it out.
Look, it's not as bad as I thought,...but it's still pretty bad.
I can give the film credit for some things. For one things, teenagers are portrayed accurately, the villain, James, is a cool character, and cinematography was interesting. But that's all I can draw from this film.
For one thing, the visual effects are awful. For example, there's a baseball scene in this film, and it so clichéd and cheesy. The music was also awful. If I wanted to listen to emo music playing, I would've sat down and listened to My Chemical Romance (who suck, I might add).
They take the best character in the whole movie, who isn't even in the film that much, James, and they waste his character and basically give him The Phantom Menace treatment.
Plus every scene in this movie sounds something like this: "Bella, you shouldn't be around me. I'm a vampire who could suck your blood." "But Edward, I wuv you!" "Okay, fine. Let's make out." "YAY!" Plus, while on the topic of vampires, THESE ARE NOT VAMPIRES! A vampire has fangs and doesn't sparkle in the sunlight! They ruined vampires, and probably ruin some other horror creatures.
This whole movie is just bad. It's not a horrible movie, but it isn't good either. It has an audience, but I cannot recommend it.
