‘Twilight’ Watch Part 1…

Here we are, the day after the ‘Twilight’ opening and yes, the movie did insanely great with $33 million on opening night and Except a big opening weekend, and then give all the fans time to talk about how horrible it was and you are going to see a deadly drop in the millions.

Now that the movie everyone just KNEW was going to be amazing has let more than a few fans down, you are going to see a big backlash. What do I mean? Well lets take a look at the critics reaction:

For those of you that don’t know, a 43% on RottenTomatoes.com is not a good thing. The average rating is a 5.3 out of 10! This is where ‘Twilight’ is failing and other book to movies like ‘Harry Potter’ were so successful. I didn’t read any of the Potter books, but I absolutely love the movies, however the things I have heard from people that haven’t read the books is this movie just sucks. Even the people that have read the books have come up to me and said “You are right, they movie was nothing nearly as good as the book”.

That brings me to my next point, what are the die hard fans saying about the movie? Well I took a deep breath and ventured my way into one of the twilight forums and this is what I found:

There were some things I didn’t like about this movie at all. I thought every single effect was cheap and fake…The sparkling was alright, but it looked fake to me and I kind of excepted more, like I could hardly see it on him. The running and climbing up the tree was just so bad I started laughing. It just wasn’t real! LOL, the running looked like just his legs were moving. And the jumping got me really pissed off because it didn’t look like they were jumping, it looked like they were flying across the room and they just don’t do that.

and from another forum:

“I don’t think I saw the same movie as most of you in the other threads. I thought it was dreadful. If someone watches this film who has NOT read the book, I see no way that person could possibly understand what was going on (this, coming from someone who has read the book twice).”

“I do agree with those that feel Catherine Hardewick did not do a good job. I think her vision for the movie was not honest to the books. I still loved the movie but I did have trouble with not really having a meadow scene, more talking between Bella and Edward about the vampire stuff. There seemed to be no development from Bella and Edwards relationship from the first day they met till the end. They declare undying love but they don’t show it. Needed to be much more between Edward and Bella. I thought all the actors were great, I think they were following the direction of a bad director.”

I got out of there quickly as I did not want to be found out and geez what a crazy world they live in. I even saw one of these:

I can sort of understand why he is hanging around with all these tween girls, but seriously they are all taken, Robert Pattinson holds all of their hearts in the palm of his hand dude, so maybe you shouldn’t wear your “proud” sign too high.

So all in all I will sit back and enjoy the fact that I called all of this over hype back in May, and it feels so good to be right… again.
