The Movie Twilight
If you have been paying attention then you'll remember that I said the Twilight books of not completely horrible. All there flaws are balanced by the other flaws. Bella's useless, emoness, is made up with Edward being a monotone lover. But to turn this into a movie is just retarded beyond belief.
Okay, let me get the praise out of the way. First off the movie is one of the few book movies to actually follow the plot of the book meaning book fans can now rejoice. The setting and enviroments that make up the background are also well-done and makes me glad that tree exist. The music could be better, but this is from a guy who prefers metal, rock, and country to the classical stuff of Twilight. Also Ashely Green the actress who plays Alice does a superb job at playing Alice probably because Alice is the only Twilight character who isn't just an emo waste of space. But that was a problem with the books too so yeah. All done? Good now for the crap.
Ok, it's always risky having a book franchise go to movie. Twilights problem is that the characters are bland at most times within the books so for the movie your asking us to make the actors act bland. Good thing Cedric Diggeri from Harry Potter is Edward. Nothing says take me seriously like a dude who died at the hands of Wormtail. Kristen Stewart in contrast looks like Bella should, but fails to bring the character to life if that weas possible to begin with. Everyone else is not even worth mentioning because they had absouletly nothing important to say.
The last thing I had problems with was the "action scenes". This is where your sposed to be all OMFG THAT WAS AMAZING. But in a romance novel this never works. The final fight in question between Edward and. . . . .that one guy was basically a throwdown. Literally all these two nerds did was throw eachother across the room while Bella pulled a Sakura and sat there. If your going to add action to a romance tale at least make them tolerable to watch.
So to some up mediocre books made into piece of crap movies. Fans should be wary if this film, but I have a feeling they won't care as long as they they're favorite tale put onto life so they can more easily fantasize about Edward and Bella.
