I am, by no means, any huge fan of Twilight. The way some girls worships it makes me sick - but also makes me admire just how lucky Stephanie Meyer is. Quite frankly, the quality of her writing is basic and nothing superb while her storyline is pretty dumb in some parts. Despite this, she somehow managed to gather a huge cult of followers that worship Edward (or perhaps, Jacob).
In my case, I went to the midnight premier of Eclipse last night with a friend. (She had invited me.) Though not a big fan, I still managed to enjoy the experience. After all, the visual effects in the movie were great, while the action sequences were exciting.
Anyway, the acting was not bad... Though in my opinion, Kristen Stewart (who plays Isabella/Bella Swan) and Rob Pattinson (who plays Edward Cullen) canNOT act. They're acting was horrible and made me wince throughout the whole movie. Rob certainly has improved in acting, but Kristen just sucks. She definitely has Bella down appearance-wise, but I really don't care for her voice and attitude that she embodies Bella as.
Also, the previous actress for the antagonistic vampire Victoria was no longer a part of the cast; which was truly a shame as she, in my opinion, was the perfect actress for the role. Then new actress that plays the part of the revenge-driven-crazy vampire has the look right (they look like they could be sisters), but her attitude does not fit the character quite as well as the old actress. I really can't give her too much trash-talk though, because those are hard shoes to fit and in her own way, she had done well as Victoria.
The movie had a few funny moments, a few heartbreaking moments, and was truly just an entertaining watch, despite the few things that I have nitpicked at.
Also, (excuse my typical teenage, hormone-controlled behavior) but I liked watching the actors for the characters Riley (evil vampire Victoria's puppet), Alec (evil vampire from the royal Volturi coven), and Seth (15 year old new werewolf in the Quilete tribe). Riley and Alec were just HOT, while Seth was so cute (both in human and wolf form), I felt an intense urge to just jump into the screen and hug him to death.
Okay, now why don't guys like this exist in MY world? Darn you, lucky Bella!
I cannot believe that you have forgotten to mention TAYLOR LAUTNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm seeing it in Imax with a friend for my birthday and I can't wait :) And I'm glad that your new school is shiny, shiny is always better.
