Twilight: Like, he's so hot, like, and amazing! *

Well this was one of the biggest movies of the year and it was one of the most successful movies so far at the box office this year so that means that it has to be a good movie right? Well this isn't always the case; in fact sometimes the highest grossing movies are sometimes the worst movies of the year. This is possibly one of the worst movies of the year.

In Twilight we have a story about a regular girl who's grown up in the city but goes to visit her Dad in a small rural town just off of the coast near Seattle but what ends up happening is there is more than just unruly kids; there are bloodsucking demons also known as Vampires. Now it sounds like a cool and credible story right? but the execution is what makes this movie absolutely horrible. Robert Pattinson and Kristin Stewart play the star-crossed lovers and their acting sinks this movie to new lows. Pattinson sounds like he's always constipated and trying to poo and Stewart acts like she's always stoned after a long session of smoking and it doesn't help when they aren't saying very intelligent things either.

The writing in this movie is atrocious; everytime the characters talk I just want to hold my head in shame as they dish out corny pre-teen love lines one after another and its interesting because they picked a woman director to pay attention the emotional development of the characters but that never ever happens in the movie. There is no attraction between the main characters; its like watching two people dance for the first time at their arranged marriage, it looks forced and the actors act forced as well. Watching this movie is like listening to a pre-teen girl rant on about a famous hot guy she likes.

The Story isn't much better than the writing and incorporating Vampires is a cool idea but before you do that make sure you know what your writing about please. First off vampires can't even go out during the day because the sun's rays will BURN them up; they don't make them GLISTEN, they make vampires BURN ALIVE. Second vampires can't fly. sorry. but they can't. This movie made vampires look stupid and that doesn't make me very happy. Having vampires play a baseball game for an entire 20 mins is just the dumbest thing I've ever seen in any movie. There is no intellectual character development in the writing or acting and these characters just stay static throughout the entire film; I never cared about their live or them throughout the entire film.

The special effects in this movie aren't great either; actually its like watching a TV show, its pretty bad. This makes the action look hokey and stupid; all I can do is laugh when I see it. There is an ending sequence thats actually decent, with a solid fighting scene, it wasn't half bad but once the two main actors started confessing their love for each other it was horrible, once again.

Overall this movie isn't good at all; the story is hokey and stupid, the acting is atrocious with writing that doesn't make it any better, the special effects are under par and look ridiculous, and this movie makes vampires look stupid, this isn't even a proper vampire movie at all, I can see why this movie made loads of money, Pattinson and Stewart are easy to look at and you can shut off your brain and still have a good time, sad. This is just a bad movie all around.

Have you read the book(s)? I love the books and was horribly disappointed by the movie, for all the reasons you pointed out. I found it really painful to watch...and yet I'll go see "New Moon" anyways. ;)

ok I agree with Sonya and you to a certain degree. The vampires did not FLY they simply JUMPED and the camera guy put it in slow motion. but everything else is good. Jordan just so you know, the only reason I'm being so hard on you is because your really fun to bug. haha and you just go with it.

So, just wondering about your comment in regards to the Vampires looking gay.

I don't know, maybe I'm a little emotional right now...

Are you saying that you're thinking that the Vampires sexual orientation is gay?

I don't know but if you're using that term as in to mean "stupid" it's offensive and well, I've made a point now to begin voicing my oppinion that it's completely disrespectful to a group of people and undermines who they are as people. I do wish to see Christians have a better and more mature response to folks within the GLBT Community.

You don't have to agree with the lifestyle to be respectful just know that using the word Gay to refer to something as stupid is not good.

And well, if you publish your stuff on-line and you want to set an example for others to follow (especially as a Christian)I would hope that you want to influence those around you to treat all people with equality and give to others the same amount of respect you wish to receive. And if you wish that people within the GLBT Community come to a saving knowlege of Jesus Christ then it is best for you to think about using a different word when calling something stupid.
