I Don't Care about them at all...

Rating: 3/10 (7 December 2009)

I had great enthusiasm at first as I sat down with my girlfriend to watch this film at first. It was alright at beginning...but it became something like, "I really don't give a damn about the characters." I don't find the relationship between Edward and Bella to be so intriguing, nor do I find it romantic at all. It just feels annoying...because instinctively, their relationship are not convincing at all. I do not understand what really draws Edward to be in love with Bella, and how could Edward, as a vampire (different race from humans) be so easily attracted and wanting to be with Bella. It feels too easy! He's a vampire! there has to be something greater, in order for these two characters to fall in love and make it convincing. All this just starts with sitting in a classroom....Then it looks easy as Bella could just be part of Edward's family. No warning, no dangers...blah blah. I've seen better classical vampire movies, and sure others may have. I'm disappointed with the way how the director approached this kind of vision. Honestly, this is a good story, with a lot of good concepts, but never did a good job to show it. The fight at the end was cheap...no real challenge at all, I don't feel the pain and suffering of Edward, I don't feel that killing James, the other kind of vampire, is such a great battle. I do not bother to watch the second one, even if my girlfriend would want me to watch. Because I know I'll start criticizing again badly until someone's going to leave the theater.
