Forbidden Love, A Ridiculous Result



What can I say? I gave in, I saw the movie, knowing the books were better, knowing it was going to be bad. And I have quite a few things to say about the film if you are willing to listen (well read in this case):

I believe a lot of people are blinded by the frenzy, by the books and by well, Like OMG, How oh so hot Robert Pattison is. I was not, I had severely low expectations walking into the film, seeing the trailer I could tell the dialogue was NOT good. So I am highly judgmental when It comes to films and when It comes to certain things about films. The opening credits I found very circa 1980's cheesy, moving the camera quickly through mountain passes and slanting your camera so the screen looks tilted (oh and she doesn't just stop doing this technique in the credits). Kristen Stewart or Bella's narration throughout the film was highly annoying not to mention added to the cheese meter. The Introduction of each character was obvious and not done well at all, comparison to the book not many of the characters looked to how I imagined them. I was highly disappointed with the Introduction of Jacob, considering he plays such a big part in the second film, The actor who played him I found unattractive, which I believe is in part due to the Director. Her mindset was probably that "Edward should have NO competition" therefore casting an unknown cast, therefore casting not a very good cast at all. Casting an unknown cast was risky, casting an unknown cast who can't act at all is nothing short of surprising. The absurd attempt to reveal himself (himself being Edward Cullen) in a "cool and hip" way, left me absolutely taken back and wondering, "where is she going? where is he going? what the fuck is going on." Only to reveal the awful scene, that made me hate the fact I spent 9 dollars on a ticket. So there she stands all alone and vulnerable in the woods as The Pale (not to mention caked up make-up) face of Edward Cullen standing over Bella's shoulder, forcing her to say what he is. VAMPIRE! Oh break me off a piece of that Cheddar Cheese. Could it get any worse? With the continuing narration of Bella's Character, of the ridiculous lines said through out the film, "hold on tight Spider-Monkey". Not to mention the awesome musical montages of the silent conversations (sense my sarcasm?). I don't understand what has happened to America's taste in film. We as the audiences have seen well done films that involve book to screen adaptations (i.e: Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter) So what makes us enjoy a film that doesn't depict a book that we read well at all? It is beyond me. The crying screams of teenage girls as Edward Cullen is wrapping his arms around Bella only sends shivers down my spine and makes me loathe what has happened to the film industry.

And on top of that, they postponed Half Blood Prince for this Bullshit.

cheers.
