Well, Dh caved and went with me to go see the movie tonight. What a guy! He deserves husband-of-the-year.

I actually felt bad for him throughout the movie. However, he trooped through and didn't fall asleep or anything. Ast the end I looked at him sympathetically, and he smiled and said "It wasn't that bad."

Ummm...yeah honey. It was.

It was just awful. At least Hardwick and company managed to capture the snail's pace essence of the book. I can't remember a film that had such pacing problems. It was mind achingly SLllllllllllooooooooooooow....but then again that was a huge issue I had with the book, so at least the film was accurate!

I didn't hate Stewart's acting. I actually thought the worst actor was the chick playing Alice. It was like they raided the local city college's "acting" program for the cast. She was wooden.

Best actors was the Forks High "scooby-gang" (Mike, Jessica, Angela, Eric). I found them the most real and relatable.

Edward...Rob...I just don't know. Part of the time I was thinking, sure...that's Edward. And then other times he was just wrong, all wrong. Creepy, UGLY. Yup I said it...beautiful my patoot. He's NOT mind blowingly beautiful.

They left out lots of important stuff that furthered the relationship between he and Bella and focused on the shout-outs to the book (the apple in the hand, ordering mushroon ravioli, hey there's the author) and nothing at all on relationship development.

Voice over??? REALLY? THE hallmark of the poorly written and directed script? THAT'S how you're gonna do it?? I guess they are of the impression that their audience is stupid and needs to be told what's going on.

The Port Angeles scene should've been paramount to the whole film and it was like 5 minutes long. totally glossed over.

The baseball scene was just eye candy, but at least it was SOMETHING. It jostled the sleeping film awake for a few moments. That and the fight at the end in the ballet studio.

BAsically it was 2 hours of Stewart looking like she was about to cry and blinking a lot, and stammering. So disappointed. I was hoping I would only be let down by the special effects (which weren't that bad actually. The sparkling was actually too toned down for my taste. In my head, dude was BLINGING).

I don't think I can stomach New Moon: The Movie. That book was even slower. AND we didn't even get Harry Potter attached!! I felt robbed.

Not cool.

ouch sorry you didnt like it

Oh- I'm sorry you were so dissapointed. I too felt it wasn't all it could have been. My hope is the next one will be better, I know the director said they would need a much bigger budget but I hope they will spend it wisely.

Someone might have said this already (But your post reminded me!). The actors are getting a raise too. I just read on Perez that Rob was paid two million for the first film, now he's getting twelve million for each subsequent film and a percentage of the box office take.

Glad to see they are squandering it away on pay raises. Weren't they all already signed????

I think the deal was that they were only signed on to do the first movie. And then depending on if it tanked or did well (like it has been doing) they would sign on for the other movies.

And I guess they just green lighted New Moon yesterdayish, and probably Eclipse? But I'm not for certain on Eclipse.

I had my ups and downs with it too but my fear is that now that people are "complaining" and I don't mean that negatively.. I just mean ups and downs... I hope they don't try and go too far out from what they have done here.

WHat I mean is, be careful what you we wish for. This movie was very true to the dialogue, imo. Acting was troublesome, budget for effects - troublesome. But I hope the ideas of the staying true to the subject matter will stay in place.

Again, I'm not bashing anybody for not liking it (I had my problems!) I'm just saying that I hope that osme of the fans who were more vocal aren't heard so loudly that they make it so the director wants to take a whole different approach. I doubt they would. I sure hope it just gets better and better.

 

[Jennasis]

wow...this is the worst review of the movie I've seen thus far...sorry you didn't enjoy it

I know. I'm bummed. I wasn't expecting to ADORE the movie, but I thought I set my expectations low enough that it would be at least "ok". But it's just my opinion. Plenty of people LOVED it!

I am so sorry that you did not like it
But what a awesome DH for going with you Do you think he really liked it or if he was just saying that for you? either way what a good guy...

Either way, what a guy indeed! No, I actually think he thought it didn't suck out loud. DH is a film snob and doesn't hold back when he hates something.

Oh- I'm sorry you were so dissapointed. I too felt it wasn't all it could have been. My hope is the next one will be better, I know the director said they would need a much bigger budget but I hope they will spend it wisely.

The problem, for me as I see it, has nothing to do with the budget. They need a new screenwriter and a new editor. Perhaps even a new director. The main thing I hated was the pacing. It was so slow, I actually kept wondering "is this ever going to end?"

I had my ups and downs with it too but my fear is that now that people are "complaining" and I don't mean that negatively.. I just mean ups and downs... I hope they don't try and go too far out from what they have done here.

I sure hope it just gets better and better.

I hope they choose a different director altogether. It didn't ruin Harry Potter (switching directors). Hardwick didn't do it for me, and Rosenberg (the screenwriter) was sub par as well.

This is probably the wrong thread to even post a negative review (might just get me drummed outta the corp!), but I'm still a fan of the books (the first three). The movie had the opportunity to improve upon the books and to correct the mistakes Meyer (a noob writer) made. Honestly, it missed the mark. I can cling to the hope that maybe...MAYBE...the second one will try harder.

see it's interesting to see people's different opinions because as far as pacing and stuff...I felt like the movie was over in no time...I wanted it to be longer..it felt so short!
I actually love Catherine Hardwick's style as a director, I think all of her stuff has a really neat look and feel to it..so I'd definitely love for her to stay on for the remaining movies.

I was going to say the same thing. It went by so fast to me. I'm going for the 2nd time tomorrow and am looking forward to just enjoying the movie instead of comparing it to the book in my head the whole time.

Hahahahahaha!
How hilarious would it be if all the Cullen's went to WDW? Not that they could, they'd sparkle the place up!

I think the deal was that they were only signed on to do the first movie. And then depending on if it tanked or did well (like it has been doing) they would sign on for the other movies.

And I guess they just green lighted New Moon yesterdayish, and probably Eclipse? But I'm not for certain on Eclipse.

They were all signed up to do all three movies from the beginning, they just had to wait for them to be greenlit so they could start working on them.

I do hope they film around March or May next year. I want to visit the set, but I don't want to go in January of February like they did for Twilight...I would freeze!

Ok, that link to Occupation Girl (http://cleolinda.livejournal.com/605018.html) led me to her other recaps of all the books, and I laughed more yesterday than I think I have in the last ten years, combined. Her language is deplorable, and she freely admits that she hates the ideas in the books while also being completely addicted to them. But her commentary leaves me just doubled over choking with laughter, tears in my eyes!

This little quote about Isle Esme in Breaking Dawn had me randomly breaking into snorfles of laughter at inappropriate times all evening-- she seems to ask those questions you only asked in the deepest depths of your mind while reading:

"(So many things have—probably for the best—been left unaddressed here. I mean, was it like f***ing a popsicle? These are the questions I find myself asking.)"

They never go into that in the movie, he just looks warm and succulent during the kiss scenes. Succulent? Oy.
