Twilight Saga: New Moon trailer released

[barnaclelapse]

I read a little bit of the first book, and I watched the movie with a lady friend on PPV in a hotel room we were staying in.

I get the appeal, but it's not really my thing any way you go about it.

The first movie isn't great but it was fun. The vampires in the series are very different from the norm and several are pretty cool. For all the hate it gets Twilight made more money domestic than either Wolverine or T4.

Is that really fair to compare a movie released last November to movies released within the last month? Of course Twilight made more as of now. Maybe when Wolverine and T4 finish their runs, Twilight might still win. But to compare Twilight's income to one movie that is only a month old and another that is only a week old is incredibly misguided.

Twilight fans deserve better than a guy who looks like a bridge troll and acts worse than most kids in their 3rd grade school play.

Do they?

No one deserves acting that horrible. I'm pretty sure forcing that on audiences is a violation of the Geneva Convention.

They tolerate the writing, I doubt they'll be too critical of the acting.

 

[JacksonArcher]

It definitely seems like a disjointed trailer. There seems to be at least two or three scenes derived almost exactly how they will play out in the film, if only slightly truncated. Which is fine, I guess, but it does feel a bit jarring. I will agree Robert Pattinson is acting more wooden than usual (than again, I never saw Twilight, just going by the trailers and clips that I saw where he displayed far more charisma than this).

Twilight is not a vampire movie. Twilight is the new girl falling for the bad but hip guy of the school. The idiot girl doesn't figure it out that he is a vampire until about an half hour left in the movie. The movie was terrible, and since the majority of the people basically knew that Edward was a vampire, there was no mystery at all about him. True Blood is much better.

 

[JacksonArcher]

I'll definitely agree that True Blood is better. Great show.

 

[Guartho]

All of you should enjoy the 4th movie much better since...

Spoiler: Book IV

it's basically vampire X-Men.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

The First Avenger: Captain America

Are audience members truly that stupid? I'm surprised we never got "Jack Ryan 2: Patriot Games."

 

[JacksonArcher]

Or James Bond 007: Casino Royale: The First Mission.

 

[sidious618]

Only Star Wars can get away with that shit 'cause it's supposed to seem like the old serials. There's no excuse otherwise.

 

[Aragorn]

Got another one...

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life

Did the full title of the first movie need to be there? Was "Lara Croft and the Cradle of Life" or "Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life" not enough information for people to understand what the movie was going to be?

 

[Broccoli]

Or Batman in Batman Begins: Batman's Origin Featuring Batman

Or James Bond 007: Casino Royale: The First Mission.

Well, in fairness, every Bond movie does start with (and can usually be found on the poster) "[ACTOR] as Ian Fleming's James Bond 007 in [TITLE]", but, I concede, that is a bit different.

Or Batman: The Dark Knight: With The Joker and Harvey Two-Face, Too .

I was kinda poking fun at the Bond posters' always having that (and every movie always starting with that). I get it's tradition but still wonderfully redundant regardless.

Well, it is more of a credit, rather than part of the title. No different than any other movie having an "Actor as Character" credit.

Plus, Bond has become such an iconic character, it would be silly not to use it. It should be noted, that this practice didn't start until that later Sean Connery movies. Before that Connery (and Lazenby for that matter) were only credited after the title and "Ian Fleming's James Bond in" was never present.

The first movie was hilarious, I have to say. When they brought out the sparking vampires, I laughed until I cried.

Having said that, the trailer looks horrible. Geez, if the acting in the trailer is bad, your movie is in trouble!! I can't get into a series where a completely personality-free teen falls for a personality-free (but dangerous...sorta) vampire.
