(I'm probably the only person who didn't put Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in their review, because I believe this picture better describes the film than any other.)* Star
Twilight Saga: New Moon is not a vampire movie. It's a soap opera with vampires in it. It is also not a love story. It is not even worth being called a story. What we have here is 130 minutes of pre-teen porn, a truly disgusting spectacle of falsifying true relationships for a woman's inner sustenance that should scare men of all ages. The fact that women are referring to Edward Cullen as the perfect guy is one of the scariest things I've ever heard.
I know I'm being a bit dramatic here, but so are the fans of these movies. For anyone whose girlfriend or crush wants them to be more like Edward, or Jacob, don't do it. You're just feeding their fire. The problem here is that the characters of Edward and Bella have no real reason to be in love except for the fact that author Stephanie Meyers tells you they are, when in actuality, these two people have absolutely nothing in common, to the point where they can't even talk about the weather without having a problem. And as for Jacob? Well, yes he may be good looking and muscular, but the actor playing him, Taylor Lautner, is only 17, and for me, grown women who look at this character as a sex symbol should watch To Catch a Predator to see where they could end up.
I stand by my point of view with this saga. I read and saw the first film before it became a phenomenon and I'll admit that I appreciated that there was this new wave of love stories being told for a younger generation. Young people reading again? This is a great thing. But now, the reading is gone, and it's replaced with movies that are as bad for the brain as a blade is to the heart.
