Watched Twilight this weekend, and let's be honest, it was awful. It moved way to fast and I was just confused the whole time, and I actually read the book, which is even worse because I watched it at like 3 a.m.; everything is good at 3 a.m.! Here are some of the major problems I had with this stupid movie:
- There was simply too much plot crammed into such a short time span for it to have the same effect as the book. Edward hated Bell when he smelled her in biology, and then like a second later he was saying that he didn't think they should be friends anymore--I didn't know that they were. This made the movie move way too fast and it was the most confusing thing of my life, so I really just hated it.
- Bella had the most bland personality of my life and her voice was super boring, which made the narration so awful that I could barely stand it. Every time she started to talk, it sort of began to lull me to sleep, because everything she said came out in this stupid monotone voice.
- If Edward Cullen is supposed to be the most beautiful man of my life, it's all down here from here. Let's be honest, he wasn't that hod. I can totally make some valid suggestions for people that would have been 100 times better than this clown.
- The special effects were troubling; I felt like I was in a 1970s horror film instead of a 2008 drama. This just upset me because they felt the need to put too many effects throughout the movie.
Overall, I guess that this is just one of the things where the movie is never better than the book, and with a book that requires the reader to create so much of their own imagery, it was really a bad idea to put it into such a concrete visual form. I think that girls across the nation, really around the world, visualized the perfection of Edward Cullen in their own terms, and then it was a problem when the media decided to tell them what perfection was. Oh well, though, I guess there's nothing to do...because undoubtedly, I will see the next 18 or whatever movies anyway.
