Upon entering the theatre, a teenage girl was trying to convince a teenage boy to see The Twilight Saga: New Moon: "Come-on, it's seriously not as lame as you think it is."
We exchanged doubtful glances, but if I knew then what I know now, I would've rushed over screaming "Dude, she's absolutely right, it's is far, far worse run away as fast as you can!"
To be fair, if you're into Robert Pattinson walking in slow motion and brooding while a shirtless Taylor Lautner chews up scenery then yes, you will enjoy this film.
Although as seen in the packed theatre, Lautner was definitely the weak link of the movie as even the hardcore fans couldn't stop from uttering "Oh-my-god that is cheesy!"
But cheese can be good can't it? Yes, by all means if you want good cheese head to the new Grilled Fromage downtown. But this is not good cheese.
This is more like 10-year-old locker cheese that was vomited on, dried into a razor sharp spike and thrust through your good eye. And yes, I'm holding back.
Which is too bad since the plot actually had promise as a Romeo and Juliet story with good vampires, werewolves and sinister Italian vampires
To be fair, there are fourgood things about this film.
1. Fans will like it (I assume)
2. The wolves are awesome. The last movie had appalling FX but the five minutes of wolf action was definitely great. (Keep in mind that is five of 130 minutes.)
3. Born and raised Squamolian Daniel Cudmore is in it (he plays vampire Felix).
4.This movie gives me the opportunity to once again spread the word of the good teenage vampire romance that is the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
In the end, if you're dragging someone to this film be aware that you will owe them huge we're talking a year of slavery huge. You have been warned.
