so last night I stumbled upon an article making fun of twilight with a funny video at the end. I had a good laugh and was just about to hit the stumble button when I started thinking. it's really not fair for me to make fun of a movie I never saw (sure, the commercials give a good preview that it's going to suck, but what if by some slim chance the movie was actually okay? so I watched twilight on youtube.
Twilight - 2/10
the acting sucked. I like kristen stewart, i really do. she is a decent actress... well was? it's as if she took quite a few steps back in this movie. her acting is terribly flat. unless that's how her character is in the book, in which case well done. robert pattinson.... geez. I'm not even sure how he became an actor. in ALL of his movies he seems so blah. so flat. so... bland. no emotion, and it seems so forced.
the movie was full of cliches, and I found myself laughing quite a bit when I am sure I shouldn't have been (it was hard to tell... some movies *try* to be this predictable for cheese factor. I don't think this one was trying).
I do see how young teenage girls would like it. most girls want to be the one to tame the bad boy, so I can at least see how it would appeal to them. I seriously do not understand the large following, however.
vampires are not super heroes.
so I marched on... there was a second one right? yep. there was.
New Moon - 4/10
yes, it slightly improved from the last; the second one did not make me want to gauge my eyes out... as much. however I'm certain this is only because taylor lautner was in a large portion of it. he was a decent actor. he showed emotion (okay, at this point I could excuse robert pattinson's character for being bland... maybe it's part of the vampire thing, like sparkling (gag), however he acts like that in ALL his movies). I actually almost enjoyed a few parts with taylor lautner in it, and he sort of reminded me of a very cliche version of the beau. kristen stewart and robert pattinson fell equally flat in this movie again... maybe they improved a sliver?
all in all? nope, still don't like twilight. still makes me laugh. what was I thinking? a movie with vampires that sparkle? hahaha... oh well, it was entertaining. besides, now I can rightfully mock it :D
I am super irritated though, that he name is what I want to name me daughter (NOTHING to do with twilight) and she drives a truck that I would die for... really? could they possibly try any harder to make people eventually think I'm a huge twilight fan that never moved on? oh well.
