The only good thing about the book (never saw the movie, never will, because I don't want to) was the suspence along the storyline. However, the characters were incredibuly awefull, the storyline was just a biased "Were-Wolf Vs. Vampire" gimick with the usual Interspecies Romance in it, which is seen in almost every vampire movie.

 

I seriously thought that the book was that horrible. Learn to come up with more original ideas, Stephanie Myer, please!!!

I never read the books, but I hear Stephanie Meyers's writing style is terrible.

 

The movie was alright, but I like Underworld much better. That one actually had interspecies romace and the writers actually knew that vampires turn to smoldering piles of ashes rather than sparkling ever-so fabulously in the sun.

 

Bella was basically a female Romeo, since she fell in love with Edward right away without even knowing much about him except for the fact that he's hot and lives with a weird family.

 

Edward just felt flawed, since he thinks he's actually a monster when he's sparkling. His statement would have been more accurate if Stephanie Meyers was more accurate about what can kill a vampire.

 

Bella's father and Jacob were probably the only characters I actually liked. Bella's dad didn't have many character flaws, he actually cared for his daughter, and the scene with the shotgun was freakin' hilarious. Jacob...well, you just have to feel sorry for him. He's been Bella's childhood friend for years, and their fathers both like Jacob and Bella together. But noooo, Bella has to fall in love for some emo vampire prick that she's not even know for two minutes. Yes, I know that Bella realizes that she also lives Jacob in a later book, but even then she loves Edward more. However, the fact that Jacob becomes Bella and Edward's kid's soulmate is disturbing, which makes me respect him less, and I heard that particular scene was just as disturbing as the idea, but he's still better than Edward.

 

If you're wondering how I know so much, I read Wikipedia.

That explains why you didn't explain how the entire plot is superficial, takes forever getting in, is bland, shows no character development, is poorly acted, special effects suck, ect ect.

I said I saw the movie, but I'll explain more.

 

The entire plot has a major cliche: Vampires and werewolves, although the latter are way less important in this story. Then we throw in a cheesy "Romeo and Juliet"-style romance, since it borders along the lines of a "forbidden love". Character development was so bad that it almost appeared non-existent. The acting was meh, and the worst special effect was the sparkle.

Guest King of Games

Books > Movies 95% of the time

Underworld>>>>Twilight, no question about it

 

My girlfriend made me watch it on saturday, definitely was not good. The ONLY part Meyer got right about vampire lore was that Bloodlust part. I agree with how character development was horrid and edward and bella have completely inexplicable love like Rome and Juliet. The only part about the movie I liked was that one of the actors has the same first name as me.

A-are you kidding me?

The books were horrid!

 

Actually, and I know I'm going get yelled out for this, I think the books were pretty good. Not a book that everybody should go crazy about, but it's a good book.

 

The movie was alright, they kept alot of stuff in from the book and even added some stuff. But the book is better.

 

Meyer writes very poor, and the characters aren't very well developed (like most people said), but the books are okay. Just my personal opinion, start yelling at me if you wish.

Yes, of course I'm kidding you. My entire post, and even my entire existence at the time, was dedicated to the sole purpose of amusing a randomly wrong person on the Internet. Obviously.
