Dec 6 I LOVE LOVE LOVE TWILIGHT! See more Nov 3 Favorite movie scene when the wolves jump over the rock during the fight! So awesome. See more Nov 1 Good to see it a second time! It made me realize that there were no emotional depth to the characters except the proposal scene. Made me feel nostalgic. See more Nov 1 Bella's feelings. I have to admire how Stephenie and the filmmakers ruthlessly focus on Bella's feelings, and the love trianble between Bella, Edward, and Jacob. No matter how complex or interesting the other subplots may be, they do not allow that to distract us from what is important: Settling the emotional conflict of an angsty teenager. Bella's feelings for Edward and Jacob cannot allow minor distractions like the slaughter of dozens of Democrat voters, or the personal losses of close friends, or the revelation that her new friends are all serial killers. The dialogue is cringy. Bella bursts into a self-centered rants about how special she is. She expresses her desire to be undead, and she claims to love the guy she friend-zoned, and friend-zones the guy she loved. All without any empathy for the bloodshed and mayhem going on in the background. In this film, we do learn that Bella's feelings are not influenced so much by necrophilia or bestiality as they are by how 'warm' Jacob is versus how 'cold' Edward is. It is the conflict between a rural life of quiet domestic bliss versus a cosmolitan life of travel and adventure. Accepting the premise that the story is about a teenage girl's feelings and puppy loves set in a fantasy world with vampires and werewolves, no one watching the film can complain that the plot sucks or the dialogue is consistent with teenagers. As for Charlie: I literally remember having the same conversations with my daughters. Right down to the stupid dialogue. Watching it now with my baby daughter - now 32 - going through baby's first divorce - it was all we could do to not bust a gut laughing and/or groaning out loud at the cringy dialogue. Excellent execution. Great acting. Brilliant technical effects. But. Nothing can fix the stupid plot. And that's fine. That's what we paid for. It's entertainment folks. See more Nov 1 I think too many people hate on this movie and don't see how crucial it was to the overarching story. I love this movie. See more Nov 1 yes, watch it on the big screen!
