To slow to be fun to watch

Rating: 3/10 (5 September 2009)

I haven't read the books, I don't have a love affair with the actors like some reviewers seem to, which makes their reviews quite bias, I didn't even know it was popular until months after seeing the movie. I didn't find the acting to be bad but I think some of the parts could have gone to better fitted people. The location seemed fitting for vampires and having them be teens was a neat twist.
The problem I had is it was like the movie never got started. There was this very minimal love story going on and tacky action scenes that was just enough to bring you out of the coma the rest of the film put you in. I just sat that after an hour plus waiting for the movie to become something: a drama, action, romance, suspense, anything. It only began to become interesting a little before it was over. All I could think was, please, pick a genre and be that; just do something.
