Let's face it, the movie was a total let down. I had low expectations.
Extremely low but the movie disappointed me even then. The amazing
love story we all read in the books was transformed into a whiny
preteen nightmare.
There was chemistry between Robert and Kristen, there is no denying
that, but I didn't feel the need that is in the books. They are supposed
to be I-can't-live-without-you, take-me-forever, I'm-devoted-to-you-
always in love( Unless you want to count that one incident in Eclipse,
but let's face it, most of us don't) but all I saw was a bored vampire
and an indifferent girl.
The one thing that made me most angry was the complete disregard
for the meadow scene. It is a VERY important part in the book where
they pretty much declare themselves to each other. This meadow
scene lasted all of 10 seconds and consisted of them staring at each
other. They changed around the timing of the movie so much that it
almost made no sense. Lets face it, the book was a good story but the
writing wasn't up to par. It was pretty much written to be turned into a
movie and the screenwriter obviously didn't realize that.
Sure, Robert was smoking hot( don't lie, you saw the ray bands) but
his performance of Edward was terrible.
Oh, the camera work. I'm not denying it, I liked The
insane closeups did NOT do what they were supposed to( show the
intensity) instead they made me where they were half the time and
realize how much makeup the actors where wearing. Every time there
was a close up on Robert, it was totally obvious he was wearing
contacts. Seriously, look for the line.
The one thing that was actually done really well was the climax with
the ballet studio and James. The fight scene was pretty cool and I
totally believed that James wanted to kill Bella right there. But, with
every up there is a down. After James is killed and They are taking
care of Bella, why couldn't Edward have been more upset? It's written
right in the book that he all but cries when he sees her.
The movie was hyped up to an extreme so it was obvious it would be a
let down, I just didn't know how bad it actually was. I don't get why
they couldn't do little things that would have made it a bit better; The
biology class incident? Bella wearing blue? Why the hell did James
have to bite her arm instead of her hand? Would that have been SO
hard to change? All in all, go see it if you are a Twilight fan but be
weary. If you aren't, stay away because you will not understand a thing
that is going on. As I said in my title, somewhere, Edwards is rolling
over in his hypothetical coffin( yes I know they don't sleep in coffins,
or sleep period for that matter, but that's why it's hypothetical)
