It's not nearly as bad as I was expecting (hoping) it would be. In fact, the first half-hour or so I was actually amused.
Robert Pattinson was so horribly miscast though. Or maybe that's just the way the character is, and no one could save him. But too often he sounded like a petulant child.
And there were times when I thought I could've written a better script myself, and all the special effects were awful. Srsly, when Edward's supposed to be running "superfast" his feet don't touch the ground and it's obvious. And the sparkling! I can't wait to hear other people's opinions on THAT effect.

LOLOL EDWARD LOL!!! He had serious drug addict look when he was first introduced, it was so hilarious. It had me laughing when I'm not sure I was supposed to be laughing.

That being said, I did like the movie. I agree with you about Robert Pattinson, Mongrel. His acting was very stiff and seemed very inappropriate at times. I was surprised by how much Bella didn't annoy me. I loved all of the minor characters (Charlie ) and wish that they had more screen time (perhaps take some all away from Robert/Edward).

The special effects were cheesy but I expected that. And I always knew the sparkling was going to be dumb ("Omgzz he looks like a peach!") so I wasn't bothered by it. Overall, the movie was better than I thought it would be. What was most annoying aspect of this film (aside from Edward's Boston/Brooklyn/petulant child accent) was the fact that there were scenes that were rather good, only to have them be ruined by something really, really cheesy.

Oh, and the guy who plays Mike looks like a pedophile. Seriously, though. What the eff was up with the regular high school students? Weird, weird people.

Really? I thought it was really nice to see normal-looking people in a movie. They were all relatively pretty, but in a very normal, human way. I know that's more about creating the contrast between humanly pretty and inhumanly pretty, but it was still one of those things I thought was good about the movie.

I spent the entire movie laughing at Edward's hair. You know the scene in the science lab where he first gets a whiff of Bella and his head kicks back? All I could think was, "Sorry my head whipped back like that - the air from the fan got caught in my sail...I mean, hair."

And, "I don't go out in the sun because I'm like a dimetrodon with this hair - too much solar energy and I'll overheat."

And so on and so forth. The LA Times film critic described Edward as "six inches of hair above six inches of forehead," which at first I thought was a joke...

And yes, Edward's hair is totally strange. He looks like he's been shocked or something!

Oh, I meant that the high school friends were strange people, as in not like the book. The butt shaking? The strangely flamboyant Eric? They were funny but weird. And I still stand by Mike looking like a pedophile. He was fun.

You're like my own personal brand of heroin.
