Rubbish! Or GREAT! If you celebrate minimal improvement.
I think that the script was quite weak. Fuck who wrote it? Oh right. It’s Melissa Rosenberg. Surprisingly, Summit hasn’t fired her yet. You can make a bad movie if you have a great script but you absolutely CAN NOT make a great movie from a bad or mediocre script. If there are any faults here, it all belongs to the screenwriter not-so-much to the director or the actors (although they are also partly to be blame). The acting kinda sucks too. Robert, Kristen and Taylor need to enroll in some acting classes, pronto! The chemistry between Edward, Bella, and Jacob is so unapparent. Taylor and Robert in no way sell that they are eternal arch enemies and Kristen (the wig is horrendous, btw) are so uncharismatic and unable to connect to the character of Bella (I’m a big admirer of the books and they are far better – gee, why do u even fucking think I watch this crap?).
The cheesiness of this film was also a step up - everything is cheapened to the level of a corny soap opera. Hate to say it but they ALL deserve Razzis. CONSTANT long silences, hard stares, and stupid dialogue.
However, the reason I give this movie a 3/10 is that there were redeeming points. The soundtrack was outstanding. One thing this franchise does well is select its music. Also, the other Cullens succeeded greatly in adding flavor and diversity to the otherwise dull recipe of Edward/Bella. Rosalie's back-story was excellent portrayed as was Jasper's. Meyer should think long and hard about writing a prequel. It's amusing how every other actor in this film was, in my opinion, excellent. Nikki Reed, Jackson Rathbone, Dakota Fanning, Xavier Samuel and of course the ever mesmeric Bryce Dallas Howard in particular shone through the drudgery of Stewart and Pattinson's loveless love story.
My parents won't even let me watch Twilight. My mom says she thinks Kristen Stewart seems like a bitch. – Tina on GLEE
