Movie: Critics drag new Twilight movie - Page 5

Human Nature

I think some people just hate on Twilight now because everybody else is doing it and it's the in thing to do now, but I know some of them got they Twilight books RIGHT on the bed stand waiting to be re-read each night before bed time.

I could have dealt with Twilight if the protagonist wasn't such a horrible person. All Bella wants out of life is to ride Edward's penis forever and stare at him for eternity. She has no sense of self and she defines her worth primarily by her relationship with Edward. She doesn't care at all about herself, her education, her family, her friends, Jacob, etc. She doesn't see how many people love her and how she would would be missed by her absence. She can only see herself as a valuable entity through him.

She just wants to bone Edward all day long which is just disgusting to me. I also find the whole story to be deplorable to young women. Bella chooses Death. She chooses to die. She chooses to throw away her humanity and her life just to be with some boy. Anyone with common sense would see that Jacob is the healthier choice between the two of them but all she cares about is Edward. More then just that, she likes that he is this abusive figure who shelters her and won't let her be her own person. That turns her on. She likes Edward the way he is and she wouldn't change him.

I know a lot of scholars attack Edward for his controlling behavior and aggressive demeanor but Bella likes that ****. She encourages it and she likes when Edward acts like a possessive neanderthal around her. The female protagonist is so pathetic and is my main problem with the series. She is so ridiculously offensive as an idea, and it's kind of sickening that there are women like her in the world. She doesn't care about anything other then a man. She single handily as character sets women back 12 centuries. I won't even go into her as a mother. She gives birth and then pawns her offspring to the man she dated a year or so ago, a man she strung a long the entire time because she can't be bothered with it. The man who made her pick herself up from off the floor after three-four months of sobbing over a man who left her. She leaves the man who made her a stronger, independent, more fully realized person and goes back to the one who treats her like a child. Mess.

!!!!!!!!!!!!

The way Stephanie Meyer made her out to be is just horrible. She becomes so dependant on Edward that when he leaves her she becomes a total mess. Also, the sex part in the last book is disturbing. He leaves her bruises and in pain but she doesn't care because she loves him. That sends a wrong message to teenage girls.

EDIT: I think this critic explained it perfectly.

Quote:

But when a saga popular with pre-adolescent girls peaks romantically on a night that leaves the heroine to wake up covered with bruises in the shape of her husband’s hands — and when that heroine then spends the morning explaining to her husband that she’s incredibly happy even though he injured her, and that it’s not his fault because she understands he couldn’t help it in light of the depth of his passion — that’s profoundly irresponsible….And romanticizing an intimate relationship that leaves bruises and scars is a particularly terrible idea in a film aimed at girls. From depicting the loss of virginity as a naturally violent, frightening, physically dangerous experience to making Bella a woman with no life at all outside of her literally all-consuming pregnancy, the narrative sledgehammers are all as distasteful as they are inelegant….This is a descent into madness, of a particularly gruesome kind

I agree. I read all of the four books, and I came to conclusion that Stephenie Meyer is horny.

At first, I liked the fact that Bella was that clumsy, mysterious and shy girl. But then, as the story started developing more and more, she became more dumb than mysterious and shy. Her choice to become a vampire was too rapid for such an important decision in her life, as it is eternal and irreversible.
Secondly, at start, I also liked the idea of the love triangle and the differences between all of the three of them. If you think of it, a vampire and a werewolf falling in love with a shy, naive human being which has to chose between one of them, as it would change her life forever; to die and reborn as a vampire and live forever with her love, Edward, or stay normal and grow old and happy with Jacob. If you think about it that way, it is an epic plot for a book that with a good writer could have been turned out magnificent book. But no, Meyer had to turn it into a corny, shallow plotline that has no climax whatsoever.

Meyer loved to display Bella as that naive girl who's stuck between two strong, controlling men in her life. The whole book felt as a sexual fantasy, and the fourth book just proves it.
Also, not to mention the fact that Meyer ruined the general opinions about vampires and werewolves. I mean, really? Vampires are afraid of the dark because they don't want people see them sparkle?
It actually becomes even more corny and cheesy at the end of the book when its revealed that Jacob is actually not a werewolf, but a Shapeshifter. I mean, really?!

In conclusion, the story had potential but Meyer ruined whatever potential it had left. The story began quite great but something went wrong as the story progressed into its failure of a climax that added nothing or sealed anything of this series.

I live for this review

Ariel

I read the first book and thought it was really good, got onto the second one and it bored me to death. Finally decided to take a risk and read the third book, and that was **** too, haven't even bothered to read the last book.

The films are just as **** as the books tbqh, if not worse. I've been forced to watch the first two films, and the acting is just painful, the only highlight in the second film was Taylor Launter with his shirt off. I've seen trailers for the other two movies and they seem as terrible.

I seriously cannot grasp why people love this fandom so much.

wtfroilan

Saw this 2 hours ago. I don't care, still love it.

Sin With A Grin

Cedric Diggory and Jace Wayland (Who is evidently young Gellart Grindelwald) in the same movie.
Seeing that The Mortal Instruments and Harry Potter are two of my favorite things, this amuses me.

Still not enough to see Breaking Dawn.

But it's kind of interesting.
