Why are people making such a big deal out of this?

Rating: Null/10 (22 November 2009)

Its terrible. Just simply terrible.
I have always had a thing for vampires, but this is just.... bad.
The vampires sparkle in the sunlight, they don't have fangs, and they don't drink blood. Wth? They aren't vampires. I don't know what they ARE but it isn't a vampire.
Basically, in this show there are no negatives to being a vampire whatsoever, and every one of the vampires looks and acts like a bunch of little kids.
There is nothing at all sexy about this and it might as well be a children's TV show. In fact, I'm embarrassed for the people that made it.
Might as well be Bunnicula.
I honestly don't know how anyone can stand this movie.
Its obviously a teenage girls fantasy and written and directed like someone was reading it out of some teenage girls notebook.
Badly directed.
Badly written.
Horribly acted.
The main actress is nothing but a whiny spoiled sullen brat. She can't act worth anything.
The main actor/vampire, has got to be one of the ugliest I've seen next to the main vampire on True Blood (who is actually tolerable because he can act). He can't act either.
This movie was a waste of two hours of my life that I want back. They should pay ME for watching this crap.
