I am not the target audience of this series. If you love the Twilight saga, I am happy for you and no one should try and take that away from you. But I have to be honest about my own opinion, and that's that, for me, this is just a boring slog.
All of the memes about this movie are mostly true. The entire thing is color corrected to look blue. The acting is robotic. The writing is laughable. As far as guilty pleasures go, this movie has plenty of moments I either ironically or genuinely enjoy. But as a whole, I'm just not crazy about it. Later installments provide more of the same (except for the blue thing, which is abandoned right away). I like Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart and think they're both very talented performers, but, whether it be the direction they were given or just lack of material, they're not good here.
I tend to love campy, stupid movies, so this should be right up my alley, but...there's just so little happening for most of it. There's barely any story. They fall in love, other things of no consequence happen, and at the end they're still in love. Don't let me take away from your enjoyment of it if you're a fan. I guess this just isn't for me.
