Twilight Trailer
The book series, Twilight by Stephanie Meyer, has recently been made into a million dollar, maybe billion dollar, movie franchise. Why? Because the books were amazing. But let's face it, the movies are absolutely awful.
The actress that plays Bella Swan is Kristen Stewert. People have claimed that the reason people hate Stewert for this part is because it's not who they would have chosen as the representation of Bella. Let's get real. Who would choose an awkward actress that seems to take at least four pauses in one sentence. Really? And please, Edward Cullen could have been a little more rounded here. He does do more than confess his love and stare at Bella. What happened to the actual conversations in the book? The movie consists of a lot Bella taking deep breaths, music by Muse and Edward creeping on the love of his life. Oh, and let's not forget in the later books they've added in a shirtless boy. Not that I'm complaining about that.
Don't think that I hate Twilight because of my opinion of the book. Trust me, I have had deep conversations with my best friend over who is best for Bella. I'm a true Twilight fan. Team Jacob and all. The connection that Bella and Edward had in the book, while not really realistic, is really sweet and well written, and I cried my eyes out in New Moon when he left her.
I'll admit that Eclipse was actually pretty good, but Twilight and New Moon were terrible. What happened to Edward's sarcasm? Or Bella's realistic clumsiness? Seriously, could she trip on that flat surface anymore purposefully? Bella isn't supposed to stutter. She's actually quite aware of herself (maybe not in a physical sense). She knows what she's saying and she has other emotions other than freaked out and nervous.
The movie has also created a giant hate group. What is this? They haven't even read the books, but since the movie has been so terrible, they automatically judge the book as being terrible too. Let's get this straight: that is not the case. I once had a teacher that kept hearing about these wonderful books and actually took the liberty of reading them. He admitted to my class that these books were "actually really good. Bella is pretty funny, and Jacob's jokes were pretty legit." Yes. He said legit.
This group of haters has created the parody, "Vampires Suck", which I have seen and can tell you that it is probably one of the funniest things I have seen in awhile. The only problem is is that it accurately ridicules every ridiculous thing about the Twilight movies.
Unfortunately, I am one of those people that are giving money to these ridiculous movies. I have seen every Twilight movie at midnight, and I will probably see the midnight premiere of Breaking Dawn part one and two. But don't judge me on this. I'm still holding onto hope that they'll surprise me. I've been let down every time (although I give credit to Eclipse), and in the end, the movies still suck.
