Twilight is the worst book I ever read.

I used to think every novelist would [i]try[/i] to make the protagonist as a likeable character no matter how much of worst person they are but no, Meyers never even tried. I never disliked a protagonist as much as I did for Bella Swan. She's the most boring person ever. She has no character, stone faced, moans and complains about her parents and treats them like shit even though Charlie seemed like a good father. She even couldn't care less about her friends and I swear in real life, she would be loner kid at school with the bitchy attitude of her unlike the boys at her school goes after her. In the story, her friends were given no purpose except to praise and follow Bella around. Ugh. Jacob is the easily sympathized character in the novel when Bella only uses him to get to know about Edward and also as a replacement to Edward when he leaves her (except when Jacob 'imprints' Renes-whatever, I hate that name!) Don't even start with Edward. To Bella, he's the pale 'Adonis' hunk with abs whereas I see him as a potential pedophile, murderer and psychopath. From the whole story, she only likes him because he's hot. In real life, if a guy follows you, watches you sleep and tells you you're his special brand of drug, that's your cue to blow his head off with a gun and run. She would end up in an abusive relationship with Edward if it was in real life. But no, he's hot, so she doesn't care if he's a creep, control her life, and invades her privacy. Oh, yeah, it teaches you to jump off a cliff when your bf leaves you and he'll run back to you in no time. Uggh. She just throws away her school and future for a hot guy and she's simply obsessed with idea of being a vampire because she's too insecure of her human life. Yep, she's a classic role model who gives wrong idea of love and relationship to young women. I don't recommend this book to anyone.

The first 15 minutes of the movie seemed interesting and good.
They had a nice scenery to the town and everything.
But yeah after that things go downhill..

@SW-User I was 17 when I first watched twilight, so I kind of liked it. Then I got slightly matured at 19 when I got to see second part and I was like WTF. That was the last series I watched.

@JBird Same.I kind if wanted a slow burn when jt came to the love and relationship.
Instead it went from 0 to 100

@JBird They could have gone with focusing on the relationship and a central antagonist for the movies until the last.
A slow burn, maybe more action, and more character development.

And then maybe in the last movie it could have been similar except maybe they have more.opposition to a relationship between a vampire and human which complicates things.
And then she could end up pregnant or some stuff.

I feel like the pregnancy and renesme stuff was too much off a focus tho for sure.They needed less of a rush and more development with the characters.

@SW-User nah, pregnancy was too much. Vampires can't have a baby.

I also noticed they were trying to make the whole world revolve around Bella. I mean why would a vampire mafia be that much worried about a human or a human vampire hybrid. There was no need for a whole vampire army just to finish off Renes-whatever.
