  Dismayed

  I shall not be a wet blanket.

  I will try my very best to not be a wet blanket.

  Trying.

  Failing.

  Failed.

  Alright, here I come, in all my wet-blanketish glory.

  I watched Twilight a few days ago. There, I said it. I am well aware of the fact that I may be upsetting quite a number of people with my not-so-positive review of the movie, but hey, it's my opinion, and nobody's holding a gun to your head and making you remain on this page.

  COMPLAINTS

  • Pacing: The beginning and middle were terribly s-l-o-w, and all of a sudden, the climactic scenes were over in the blink of an eye.
  • Camera angles: I don't even know where to begin. All I can say is, numerous scenes in the movie could have been filmed better.
  • 'Dazzling': When Edward stepped into the sun, I expected him to 'sparkle' like how he was supposed to do in the books, meaning reflecting sunlight in every direction, like a diamond. He ended up looking like he had bought one of those cheap body glitter in a convenient store and spread it all over himself.
  • Baseball: I get it, the vampires play the game oh-so fast that even the human eye can't keep up, but really, in the movie, do they really have to play the scene out in slow motion? It was ultra snail-mail slow, that I was not the least bit excited.
  • Out-of-place scenes and character traits: I do not usually do book-movie comparisons, because, well, sometimes certain things just had to be done in certain ways. But there was this one scene where Bella and Edward were at school, and all of a sudden, they venture into the woods nearby, and there popped out the meadow scene! How convenient, not. And Bella going all catatonic in the hospital because Edward threatened to leave her? It was so exaggerated that I had to hold in my laughter.
  • Special effects: During the vampire showdown in the ballet studio, all the leaping and hopping and pouncing and flying was just too much to handle. I snorted loudly.

  LIKES

  • The running pepper spray joke
  • The Cullens' clean-cut dwelling
  • Jasper looking like Edward Scissorhands
  • The beautiful landscapes
  • No screaming fan girls when I was watching the movie in the cinema

  On a brighter note, for those of you who still have not seen the latest Half-Blood Prince trailer, you simply must do so. This is, in my opinion, the best trailer yet, and I'm not saying that just because Draco is seen in this one. Really.

  Oh my, Draco! The Millennium Bridge! The Gandalf-looking Dumbledore! The Inferi! *Melts into a puddle* I really feel like launching a wide-scale massacre on Warner Brothers now, for delaying the movie.

  Oh, and here's something just for laughs (what a perfect combination, it has the two fandoms which I love so much) <- that was sarcasm, by the way:

  I'm feeling: Bitchy
