I’m fairly certain that the one universal truth for all vampire nostalgia and vampire movies, is that they only come out at night. A baseball game with vampires in the middle of the day? Don’t give me the overcast lack of sunlight excuse, I have solar panels and they still pickup UV light with full cloud cover. Ridiculous that everyone falls head over heels for this vampire flick CW style. Uhhhh….ever hear of True Blood on HBO? It is far superior, obviously the rest of the world is shielded from HBO’s quality programming, so pick up the Sookie Stackhouse books then.
What bothers me about the “Twilight” series by Stephanie Meyer is the whole theme about vampires. I mean, besides that they don’t exist, vampires have always been traditionally, well, evil. And a book (and now film) series that glorifies vampirism is not something that the masses should be enjoying.
Ms. Meyer is, I’m sure, a good writer but she really needs to find a less dark subject matter to write her books about. Granted, the Cullen family does not drink the blood of humans but they probably shouldn’t exist at all anyway, since vampires are not something to be taken lightly.
It is a good thing that Bella and Edward do not engage in pre-martial intercourse during the events of the first book (I’m not sure about the others), but the whole theme of young love can be easily warped and twisted. Also, love between a vampire and human is not natural (obviously) and is rather dark and creepy.
What disappoints me the most is that many Christians have embraced the Twilight series, a move that is very unlike what the early church would have done. They would have undoubtedly shied away from such material and instead taught what vampires really represent: evil.
It is books and films such as these that are living proof of Isaiah 5:20, in which the prophet warns people who turn evil into good and good into evil. Isn’t that what this series is doing?
Will Holloywood ever stop making these typs of films? I mean come on do we really need another inaine move about some vampire that falls in love…? Just add to to the other hundres of movies and books and even TV shows of the digital age.
It wouldn’t be so bad if they could stick to a single mythology of the Vampire instead of jumping around every myth ever created from everyones opinion. Don’t get me wrong, I was a HUGE Buffy (NOT the movie) and Angel fan when they were on the WB but now everything that comes out with vampires is just another vampire movie. They are all the same…unrequited love and people end up dying so they can find that ‘love’ that can never exist because they come from compleatly different worlds! HOLLYWOOD!!! Please get ORIGIONAL stop making rediclious movies that are just mindless remakes of the same move over and over and over again!
This movie was a huge disappointment. Everything about it was all wrong…the cast, the scenes, the story. I saw the movie after reading the first two books and I was absolutely shocked and dumbfounded with the HORRIBLE acting and the less-than-stellar casting job. Kristen Stewart ruined Bella’s character and there was absolutely nothing about Robert Patterson to fall in love with. Watching the movie was depessing after having loved the book so much. I was really afraid after watching it that these were the people that were going to be in my head when I read the last two books because I knew it would ruin it for me. Thankfully, I somehow blocked the faces of the untalented actors out and was able to still enjoy Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. If I were Stephenie Meyer, I would be heartbroken over the slaughtering of her book into a movie. I would never spend the money on this movie and I will not go to see the next one that comes out. I’ll stick to books with this series….
This movie is clearly for young white girls or people who are in love with the jonas brothers….I asked the My Movie rental store for my money back….This movie suck—-Real vampires would have sucked her dry, Not invite her to dinner…
