I like bad movies. so I have done some research about the Twilight Saga due to hearing fans of the books hate the movies because they sucked. So I looked up all four of them up on IMDB.com and was surprised to find out that the user ratings were just slightly higher than ratings for SyFy original movies. That is really a shocker. So after I saw the user ratings I went and bought Breaking Dawn Pt. 1 on Blu-Ray and New Moon on Blu-Ray as well. I don't plan on watching them in order.
First up was New Moon. The acting of the whole cast except for Bella's dad was atrocious. Kristen Stewart was a basket case on her own. Due to the fact that she constantly had her mouth open and was breathing out of her mouth the whole time instead of through her nose. plus her acting was worse than the acting in Troll 2. Robert Pattinson was no box of chocolates either. I saw him in Water for Elephants and thought his acting was terrific. He is the exact opposite in the Twilight series, bland and boring. Now Taylor Lautner was just as bad of an actor, worse than his role as Shark Boy in The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl which is another terrible movie.
The Plots are laughable and and just ridiculous combined with terrible cut rate acting. I never read the books and don't plan to read them anytime soon. I can see why fans of the books hate the movies. I guess it's true that the book is always better than the movie. Another thing that shows how bad these movies are is that each has had a different director for all 4 movies and 3 different composers for all 4, with the exception of Carter Burwell who scored Twilight and Breaking Dawn Pt 1 and the upcoming Breaking Dawn Pt 2. The film scores are more interesting than the actual movies.
A great way to enjoy these movies is to buy the Rifftrax for them. You can buy them at www.rifftrax.com
You'll laugh your head off at the commentary that they give for the terrible films. It's like Mystery Science Theater 3000.
