Last Post About Twilight?

Ok, so I watched the movie last night. A guy I work with ripped it online, so I didn't have to wait for the DVD. I started watching it last night at 11:40 p.m. and finished at 2:00 a.m. It was like reading the books all over again.

Now, for those of you who have read the books, the movie will be the biggest disappointment of your book to movie adaptation life. I'm not even talking about The Firm or Bridges of Madison County disappointing, at least those movies had some substance. This is one of the worst movies you will ever watch. I know they made it on a shoestring budget, but The Wrestler looked pretty damn good, and I think Darren Aranofsky made it for less than Twilight.

They turned it into a cheesy teen movie with absolutely no character development and no real plot. They rush through everything that was so important in the books; like the relationship between Bella and Edward. It is so forced and uncomfortable in the movie. The actors are not very good, and they display little emotion in any of the lamely lit and set directed scenes. Don't get me wrong, Robert Pattinson is hot, and I was still drooling over him, but he was not very good. Plus, he put on this odd accent which had a hint of New England in it. The kissing scene was luckily the best, and thankfully you felt something for these characters. Beyond that, it was beyond terrible. Don't even get me started on the special effects. It looked like a film school project gone wrong. What should have been Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon-esque turned out more like that Wolf movie with Michelle Pfieffer and Jack Nicholson. I'm not even someone that pays attention or knows anything about special effects, and I know these were terrible. What a complete let down.

However, in celebration of the movie's release on DVD, I did wear my Team Edward t-shirt to the gym this morning. Whatever I can do to provide more subsidies to the talentless community of people that made the movie possible.
