ok so this New Moon movie is currently breaking records everywhere, it seems... after watching it yesterday i find it... em... quite a drag, especially during the opening moments. there's much talk going on so action fans should be warned. it's not a vampire vs werewolf bout per se, unlike Underworld. then again, what should we expect from a love story, yes?

you watched it yet? oh, your girlfriend asked you along, you had no choice, no? 8-)
 
The book is horribly written.
The movie is horribly directed.
But it just goes to show the power of the demographic audience - teenage girls.
 
I quote from www.fmylife.com

"Today I woke up and looked in the mirror and noticed that my face was covered in glitter. I asked my wife about it and she said she put it on me while i was sleeping so that i would sparkle like Edward from Twilight when I'm in the sunlight. FML."
 
Bram Stoker > Anne Rice > Low Kay Hwa > Ris Low >/= Stephanie Meyer

LOL. Good one. :)

But seriously though, has any serious reader tried leafing through the dribble that is Twilight, the book?

I can understand the hype of Harry Potter. J K Rowling IS a very good author and story teller.

But with Meyer, all you get is cardboard cutout characters, two-dimentional predictable actions.... and a lot of "she said angrily." "she said confusedly" "she said shyly"

Even the mighty Stephen King once said in an interview that "Meyer can't write worth a darn!"

If your prose is good, don't use adverbs, because you don't need to. Meyer could learn a thing or two from her very own fan fiction writers who do a better job at telling a story.

If you want to watch a truly, remarkably fantastic and heartfelt vampire love story, please please please go to YouTube and search 'Let The Right One In Part 1'. You'll find the connecting videos there too so you can watch the whole film. It is the movie Twilight tried to be but was not even close to becoming. It's a little known but absolutely fabulous Swedish vampire flick. Now THAT is a vampire movie, and by the way, Rotten Tomatoes ranked 'Let The Right One In' #2 greatest vampire movie of all time, #1 being an old flick in the 50's :). Watch it, so you can laugh at Twilight fans with righteous vigour!

If you're a dude, why the hell are you even considering watching Twilight in the first place, unless it's to get a chick? I don't understand some people, they watch a certain show and then go "OMG THAT SHOW SUXX"(tend to be done alot on facebook). It was the same with Jennifer's Body. It got horrid reviews on the internet, of course it's going to be crap. What, do you think your taste is any different from the reviewers? A shitty flick is a shitty flick. I watched District 9, Inglourious Basterds and Drag Me To Hell this year, all because I read up the reviews and cause they had good directors/producers, and SURPRISE! they were balls to the wall awesome.
 
i saw yesterday's Life section of Straits Times, with a review of the twilight saga: new moon, and the reviewer gave it 2/5 stars....

if u asked me, i would say Underworld is much better
