I do and I'm a nineteen year old guy. I was planning to see it tonight except a friend (also a guy) who saw it last night said that although it was decent, the amount of screaming fangirls made it less enjoyable, so I may wait until an adult screening is done at the local cinema (i.e. 18 and over only). Have you actually seen it, or made an attempt to see it? If so then your opinion is fair and noted. If you haven't made an attempt to see it then what right do you have to criticise it?

And yes, I do like things like Dracula as well. I simply don't agree that Twilight 'ruined' vampires. Although for all the things I like about the series, I still don't like the 'sparkly' vampires idea.
Did you enjoy the last book where Edward 'makes love' to Bella so hard that he breaks bones? Or that she literally got pregnant from a being that has no blood flow so no erection is possible? Or that the author states that the baby has an extra chromosome that allows for the baby to be a hybrid vampire-human when really an extra chromosome = down syndrome? Or how about that Jacob will be 'tapping dat' baby when it's 6 years old because vampires age faster, yet lore absolutely states that they never age?

This is what piracy is for. Watching stuff you know is going to be terrible without having the guilt of giving money to talentless hacks.

Yep, still hate vampires.

Every goddamn one. Bloodsucking monsters that feed on the weak and innocent.

So..... Bob... Tell me how you really feel?

I saw Twilight just recently, and to be honest, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Yeah, it was really cheesy (cue blowing hair in slow-mo) and it doesn't exactly have anything near top-notch acting. I was just so bombarded by people telling me how crap it was that I was expecting something worse then an Uwe Boll movie...

I think one of the the things that pisses people off the most about this series is that Mrs. Meyer is a Multi-Millionaire now and people with better books are not...

Just my .02 though...

I love every bad review of these atrocities. Yours was effin brilliant as well.
How did you manage to read all the books? I got a hold of all of them on ebooks, but I only managed about sixty pages. At that point I felt a strong urge to rip out my keyboard and bludgeon myself to death with it. I'm not a literary genius, but even I could tell that what Meyer has done is on the level of a C-graded fanfiction.

And yeah, what happened to The Road? I wanted to see that review, since I love the book to death. One of the few books that actually 'caused me to be depressed for days after reading it. Both times. And I have had so high hopes for the movie, but from what I managed to read on the comments was that it wasn't that good. Didn't have a chance to actually see the review...

I really only saw the first movie as a mildly, not necessarily entertaining, distracting film until something better perks my interest.

still, I can't believe I agreed to see this in a few weeks... urrgh...

At the college I attend, the upperclassmen women think Twilight is a joke and an insult to females everywhere. Only the underclassmen seem to be interested in Twilight.


Twilight is a terrible series. MovieBob, I feel sorry for you for having to see it. It's all so pathetic.

Can they even do that? I'm fairly certain that ageism for no reason is illegal.
Yes, they can. Considering that such screenings are only shown usually at about 10:30pm onwards, until the last showing, so really anyone under 18 should be at home in bed by the time most adult screenings are shown. There's nothing illegal about it, anyway. It's like they do special OAP screenings or kid's screenings at certain times, and all of these are advertised extensively as such.

No dude I form all my opinions based solely off of movie reviews. I never even knew what twilight was until I saw this.
Hopefully that was sarcasm, I didn't intend to cause offence by my post since usually I try and avoid arguments and flame wars. I was just annoyed at your assumption that the film was bad, when everyone has a different opinion. Just because you disagree with me, doesn't mean either of us is right or wrong. However, I get extremely pissed off at people who say something is good or bad without actually at least making an effort to experience it. Which is why I hate Halo bashers and Twilight bashers so much, but if someone with an informed opinion explains why they don't like it, then I can accept that even if our opinions differ.

Oh, and for the record, this is my first MovieBob video and it's actually pretty good. I disagree with his opinion on the Twilight franchise, obviously, but he's a damn good reviewer :). Though I'm puzzled as to why all the swear words were bleeped out, when Yahtzee is allowed to swear gratuitously in ZP (actually, I've also noticed that with Apocalypse Lane too. Anyone know why this is?).

If you do have to beep out every swear word then stop saying them. Its annoyings, its flowbreaking and I'd like to think were not all 12 and old enough to hear different synonyms of the word 'poo'.

This. Good review though. The bit about the Jacob character was spot on.

Thats odd, the review of "The Road" mysteriously vanished and now we have a review "New Moon".

I loved how when you said professional you put an image from "The Professional/Leon."

As for the review, what did I expect? The Twilight series are not great and the movies are worst. But I was still fun hearing you rip this move a new one.

This, this, a thousand time's this.

Twilight just premiered over here in the UK on Sky Movies and I didn't find it anywhere near as bad as everyone made it out to be. Will probably watch Twilight Bad Moon when a decent copy comes up for pirate.

Sounds to me just like people hating on Harry Potter because J.K Rowling is a "crappy author".

Given this would involve exchanging money to view it, no. I don't know about the guy you originally quoted, but to be honest, the fact that its in the godawful genre of highschool 'romances' is enough alone for me not to want to see it. Throw in sparkly vampires and then I'm just not willing to part with money to see hours of angsty 17 year olds (or whatever age their meant to be) on screen. Or rather in this case, angsty, sparkly 17 year olds.

The quality was of cinematography I've been seeing in general clips intrigued me, but I'll be giving this one a pass.

I was lucky enough to get a double dose of Moviebob, which is pretty awesome. I was wondering what happened when "The Road" mysteriously vanished from the front page.

All in all, thank you for reinforcing my position of never ever seeing the Twilight movies.

OH MY GOD! FINALLY! Someone other than myself gets that twilight is crap. I've read the books too, entire waste of time. I will never get back those wasted hours. Anyway, so glad to finally see someone who isn't cooing "twilight is the greatest thing" over and over. I just hope they paid you well to sit though that terrible movie. Kudos ^-^.

You think you are the only one? Browse the forums for like 2 minutes and you'll find quite allot of us aren't stupid teenage girls who buy into this crap.

Unless you are referring to other reviewers. Then yes, moviebob delivers once again/
