i know this entry will cost me. Probably twilight fanatics will hunt me down and eat me alive after reading this:
Oh my God! I couldn’t believe I was watching it… after being a total loser who read the book, I waited for 2weeks after the opening night to go to the movie theater and watch it… alone!
It was like watching a CHEAP indie film…no, wait-- it was worse than watching a cheap indie film… the flashbacks were like watching a documentary of a crime scene… heck, discovery channel’s crime shows were better than this movie..
And what is with the nodding? And their (edward and bella's) jaws.. there was a moment in the film where I want to unhinge bella’s jaw and move it myself… and the batting of the eyes… were her eyes supposed to bat that much? I mean seriously… she didn’t even seem to be flirting with Edward whenever she did that…and what is with the flying? And the chase, that was it? Where was the part where

Even harry potter (the first movie) pleased me, so why couldn’t this film have the same effect? I’m sorry but the movie didn’t give the novel justice… And spidermonkey? really? did edward really say that in the book? i can't remember.. if he did, it sounded better in my head.. no, wait, the whole novel sounded better in my head..
After an hour, it felt like it was the longest film I’ve watched in a long time…well, it’s probably my newest Norbit.
It’s probably half of meyer’s fault for being new in the business and all that-- selling the novel short for a low-budgeted film. Even
But amidst all my hate for it, there is one part that I enjoyed... the baseball game.. that was impressive.. And Michael Welch captured newton's character perfectly.
i want a remake! (preferably under Bruckheimer productions)
or we can just wait and see what damage control the next director will manage to conjure up.
