CC: Twilight.

So...yes, I got sucked into the whole Twilight thing by a friend of mine. So of course I totally went and saw the movie. I need to begin this review with several disclaimers, however.
1) I hate Kristin Stewart. I'm sorry, but everything I've ever seen her in is EXACTLY THE SAME. Also, she can't smile. In every single premiere photo I've seen, she's either not smiling or grimacing. Ugh.
2) Though I like Twilight, let me be perfectly clear in saying that I don't think its the best love story ever, or best set of books ever. I liked it, it entertained me, but that's about it. I think Stephenie Meyer could have done better.

Moving on!

Good and Plenty
~Robert Pattinson. That boy is hot. And he actually acts (unlike his charming co-star).
~The actors that played the Cullens (Peter Facinelli, Elizabeth Reaser, Ashley Greene, Jackson Rathbone, Kellan Lutz and Nikki Reed). They were all awesome.
~ Cam Gigandet (who played James, the bad guy). Awesome sauce!
~ The glittering scene didn't suck as much as it could have. I was pleasantly surprised.
~ The ballet studio fight scene rocks! I actually wish it had been longer.
~ Billy Burke (who plays Charlie). He's was a very very awesome surprise...possibly my favorite part of the movie (which is saying something over R. Pats)


Sour Patch Kids
~ We didn't see nearly enough of the Cullens. Which sucks, because I loved the actors.
~ Kristen Stewart can't act her way out of a paper bag. SHOW EMOTION.
~ There were several instances where I was inwardly wincing at some of the dialogue--I don't think it was the words themselves, but how the actors were saying them.
~ I wish they had kept the scene where she finds out he's a vampire the same from the book. While less intense and scary, it creates a bonding moment for Bella and Edward that I thought was lacking.
~ I did not see/feel the chemistry between Robert and Kristen that everyone kept talking about...and I totally blame Kristen.
