Twilight Nonsense!

Rating: Null/10 (9 December 2008)

The vampires in this movie were frankly ridiculous. Oh no, we have to avoid the sunlight or people will think we are wearing body glitter! Grab a little makeup and presto you look perfectly normal.
These creatures live for centuries apparently, and yet Edward has not learned to control his feeding impulse in 80 years! He acts unsure of himself with Bella...if he has been to high school 10+ times he should know how to charm an emotionally vulnerable teenage girl.
The color palette was washed out, the acting (except occasionally with Bella) was pathetic. My guess is that these books were popular, so the author got movie rights and a focus group told them how to market this film to overly emotional angst ridden teenagers. Someday I hope that we make more movies for teenagers that show realistic relationships and don't have Shiny Vampires who act emotionally retarded.
