Twilight Teaser Trailer!
May 10th, 2008 -
I apologize for not updating in such a long time. That's all. You probably know why I haven't. (Read: busy)As most (maybe all) Twilight fans know, the teaser trailer for the Twilight movie has been released recently. Before seeing this, my hardcore Twilight friends have told me that from watching the trailer they think it's going to be excellent. Trusting there verdict, I immediately went on YouTube to watch it. Unfortunately, my initial reaction to it wasn't exactly of the "squee-ing" variety. I just wore a "WTF" look, and shook my head. I was going to tell my friends that it wan't going to be excellent, but I didn't since I think they'll skin me alive for thinking so.
Well, why I didn't like it? The acting. It seemed to me like they were reading from a script. The chemistry between Robbert Patterson and Kristen Stewart was hardly there. It was almost as if they were trying to communicate between a wall... that irritated me. I'm not arguing that the choice of actors was terrible, I think there was little connection going on between them. Furthermore, what's with the shaky camera thing when Bella tells Edward she isn't scared of him. I'm assuming that's for effect, but personally I didn't think it was well done that if that was the intention. And since when does he fly? Even though it was been awhile since I read the books, I'm pretty sure he doesn't. Although feel free to tell me otherwise. Lastly, the glitter-y Twilight text. I didn't think it was bad, I just thought it was funny.
So, for the Twilight fans... did you squee over this, or did you frown at this, like I did? And also to those who've never read the books and just seen the trailer, what do you think?
