Soooo NOT a Twilight fan

Rating: 3/10 (1 April 2009)

I adored the books, I will start by admitting that. My roommate and I went and saw the movie after hearing Rave reviews online and from my mother and sister. That right there should have been my first clue. I mean the acting was awful!!!! I mean come on there is a difference in looking brooding and just plain looking constipated! Also there was some serious man-scaping needing to be done in my opinion (my roomie calls it the bushy eyebrow movie!). I liked the girl who plays Bella and the boy who played Jacob, but was pretty disappointed with the rest, which surprised me because I've liked most of the actors in other roles. The lighting was overly bright, I mean ever heard of contrast and balance, jeez. I also found it offensive how dreary they made the northwest appear. I'm NW born and bred and while yeah it does rain a lot, it's still breathtaking. We do have sunshine more than just a couple days out of the year. Even in the rain forest that is the Olympic Peninsula which is where Forks was based on. So all in all yeah you can call me a hater, lol, here's to hoping the second one is better!
