Escape to the Movies: Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part Two

[impocalyptic]

I never thought u would like a twilight movie. But I gotta see this train wreck for myself now. Thank u so much bob! This is gonna b a good weekend.

Is he saying this scene is better than that one scene Cabin in the Woods had to offer? Highly suspect, I do believe.

So somebody appears out of nowhere at the end and resolves everything with a Deus Ex Machina, undermining the entire story? Why am I thinking of a certain character from Mass Effect 3...

Please, that was so much worse because Mass Effect actually had a decent story going up till then. Twilight was just the kind of story where a Deus Ex Machina would be used and it wouldn't be considered entirely ruining a good thing. There was nothing good to ruin in the first place.

Actually speaking of stewart. I tried to watch "Snow White and the huntsman" this week because I was told the action was good but the story boring. Understatement HUGE understatement. The entire movie is just stewart and friends muddling around doing nothing interesting for an hour or so then they fight Theron. I skipped around but still couldn't bring myself to finish it. Stewart is the more dull uninteresting person I've ever had to watch on screen.

I just saw that recently too. It was visually rather nice, and I stuck with it largely for that, but man was the acting a mess. It was like they told Charlize Theron to overact enough to make up for the fact that Kristen Stewart has so little range, so both of their performances were terrible. The music was surprisingly good though.

Oh so Bella's child doesn't go to Edward and be like:
You have three choices:

1) Destroy the evil guys
2) Merge with the evil guys
3) Control the evil guys

?

Thank fuck this one is better than the others. I have had to sit through the first 4 thanks to aquiring a girlfriend and she is dying to see this new one.

And thank God it's over.

 

[Azeal]

mwhahahahaha, the main reason I fucking hated the ending to that series is changed! Sorta.

Well at least there's still a fight of epic scale. May see it just for that.

I watched the vid just to see movie bob's reaction to it.... now excuse me, I need to go wash my brain with bleach

 

[Nghtgnt]

So... what you're saying is... this movie is potentially the best episode of MST3K ever?

 

[TheSchaef]

Come to think of it, Michael Sheen also seemed to be the only one having fun in TRON: Legacy, as well. Don't get me wrong, I liked TRON, it's just he was the one guy to really make his character stand out. I mean, think about it, name the characters in the movies. Well, there's Jeff Bridges, digital Jeff Bridges, son of Jeff Bridges, 13's skintight outfit, and that guy who ran the club; he was pretty cool.

That's when you know you have a wicked talented actor, when he can alter your overall impression of a movie just by being in it for ten minutes. See also: Jack Nicholson getting an Oscar for nomination being in the first and last scene of A Few Good Men.

IT WAS ALL A DREAM?!

This review was very different than what I was expecting it to be.

 

[General Vengeance]

Sorry I cannot in good conscience financially support a horrible movie, despite how unintentially "fun" it turns out to be. Simply due to the mindset of Hollywood, "look it made money, lets make more of the same." NO! FUCK NO!

 

[chozo_hybrid]

I'm glad it seems to be over, but people seem to forget, the main characters have a kid and these films have been on giant cash cow that they could still milk if they want.

It would not surprise me if they find an excuse to make more.

Can we just get back to having awesome vampires now?

Can someone just make a Legacy of Kain series of movies.... and have it stick to the games plot? Because that would be swell.

No, I think Vampires need to stand down from fiction for a little while to let this set of films/books be forgotten.

As for your suggestion, yes I would love it, no it wouldn't happen. People can't get a simple video game plot to work in films, so one as complicated as LoK, nah. Don't see it happening.

I'll probably go see this movie with the gf. And from the sound of it, the end of this movie might make it pretty interesting. Although I've never really sat down and fully watched any of the Twilight movies so maybe i don't know what i'm getting into.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

...Wow, I kinda want to see this movie now... preferably when the Rifftrax version comes out (though I'm also anticipating what certain other movie reviewers have to say on the matter).

But seriously, I'm so glad this franchise is finally at an end. There's nothing good about it, and yet millions of stupid tween girls actually like this shit.

(Say what you will about "Vampires Suck", the bit with "Team Edward" and "Team Jacob" fans duking it out is wonderfully carthatic, at least to me, anyway.)
