Posts: 48 | July 16th, 2009 at 02:00pm I read the books when they first came out. I was totally stoked when I heard that there was gonna be a movie....Then I was disappointed. Kristen is a shrew. Rob is a douche. They make a horrible Bella and Edward.
And I hate how people who thought Twilight was gay before the movie, then changed their mind after seeing the movie. |

Posts: 17669 | July 16th, 2009 at 02:17pm DId anyone get to the end of all the books, having read through them all in a hurry because they cared about what happened to the characters and then realise that they are the most anti-climactic books with incredibly 2 dimensional characters?
Is it just me?
Yes, perhaps.
I'm not here to hate on it, it's just that I think you get caught up in it all and then you realise at the end that actually...meh. There were a LOT of spelling errors/misuse of words in Eclipse that made the whole thing seem really lazily done to me. I felt like none of it was properly planned - like she wrote the first book and then the publishers said, you know what? A sequeal would be good. And it just carried on like that.
I really enjoyed the film actually. I thought it was well cast (though Kristen annoys me because she never shuts her mouth and she blinks too much) and pretty well done considering the budget. LOTS of continuity issues and some slightly odd shots (not a fan of Catherine Hardwicke) but I thought it was pretty good. James was really good in it and I thought Rob interpreted Edward's character really well and made him seem a lot more believable than in the books.

Posts: 3486 | July 18th, 2009 at 05:57pm I really hate how people compare Twilight and Harry Potter.
They're both popular, yeah, but it ends there.
Ooh, they have teenagers. And golly gee, subjects of more than ordinary people. But do we really have to have people bickering over which one is better? No matter if you're a Twilight fan or HP lover, anyone who respects literature can tell you that Harry Potter is more well written, the characters are easier to care about, and the storyline has much, much more depth than Stephenie Meyer could've mustered to come up with.
I'm not trying to troll the Twilight fans by any means. it comes down to taste in the end, and I myself used to be a fan of the books. The first two at least. I only got through half of Eclipse before I quit. I just never saw the reason for, "OMG HOW CAN YOU HATE TWILIGHT AND LOVE HARRY POTTER?!?!" and vice versa. I see it especially on IMDb, but I'm sure it's everywhere else as well. It's really just ridiculous. Agree to disagree and let it be. My best friend is crazy about Twilight, and I happen to favor HP, but I never find us arguing about it. Cause in the end, it really doesn't matter. We're going to like what we like.
Yeah, that's the end of my rant. (: |

| July 21st, 2009 at 08:54am I read Twilight a while ago and enjoyed it and then read Eclipse and thought that was alright although again, the way it is written shows that more care could have been taken!
I couldn't really be bothered with reading the other books that follow as I was told what happens and by the time they had been released, I found the books quite bland, so to speak. I can see why a lot of people would like Twilight but I just don't think it's for me. I think it'd be a better series if we actually learnt more about the characters and I think it's a bit cliché, at times.
I did quite like the film although again it was a little bland. I liked who they cast for the characters though (:.
I think one of the things that has put me off Twilight the most is the little fans who are now 'oh so in love' with Edward Cullen and believe that vampires really do exist. It's just a book! And I think that there are many books out there a lot better than Twilight although I'm not here to hate on the series as I do see why it's attractive to readers. |

| July 28th, 2009 at 06:54pm The last book was horrible imo.
It ended the series in a boring way.
The first three were good though. |

I totally agree with this, I really enjoyed reading the books and at the end of the series I was like: wtf did I just read? it's like you said: "anti-climactic books with incredibly 2 dimensional characters". It could have been a much better series if the characters had more personality.
and the spelling was annoying, words are missing and all that. And here I was, reading it in English to improve my English =P
also, it seemed to me like she wrote the first book and then made the sequels up as she went. Breaking Dawn was the worst: all this stuff crammed in one book, it was over-emotional and not really a good storyline(is that a word?)
But I still quite like the series though =P
There's just something about the simplicity of it all, everyone got their happy end, hardly anyone got hurt, and at times it's sooo fucking cheesy. And reading it is a nice escape from reality I guess |

Posts: 13565 | September 7th, 2009 at 02:31pm I really like the books, but I don't quite understand why 
I hate Bella with a passion and her conversations with Edward make me want to slam my head into a wall. But for some reason I did read them all within a few weeks and really enjoyed them. The movie was so bad it was hilarious, truly hilarious.
I just finished reading midnight sun which was really good, can't wait for that. |
