The Audacity of Hype
PostedNovember 24, 2008

I have not read the book, and was able to judge this move purely on it's cinematic values (or lack thereof), without expectations or comparisons to the book, plot and characters. The hype was pretty major, as was my anticipation. What a sobering reminder of how empty hype can be! It was, from first to last, a slow, plodding and cerebral exercise in manufactured and completely unconvincing teenage angst, with little relevance to vampirism. Weak and melodramatic performances compounded by ridiculously amateurish make-up make for a very much regretted $9.50. The one saving cinematic grace is the vistas of mountains and valleys of the Pacific Northwest, which I could just as easily and more economically enjoyed from my HD NatGeo channel.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
