Welcome to Gaia! ::

The bad parts.

Edward, Jacob and Bella. Especially when all three are in a scene talking. Bo-ring.

Jacob shirtless. Now I enjoy shirtless people more than most, but come on. Almost every scene he and the wolves were in, no shirts. Shoes - but no shirts. Yes, he's hot. It got insane. It was a game of "how many times can we show Jacob's abs in this movie", and I'm really sorry to say but it was too many.

(Also in the book) Bella trying to pressure Edward for sex. It was just wrong, his virginity is the one thing he has left and it is important to him (he's from a different era). She kept pressuring him for sex when he said no. Bella, NO MEANS NO. Just because you're a pretty girl doesn't mean NO doesn't apply.

(Book as well) Edward controlling Bella. It got creepy, disabling her truck so she couldn't see her friend. The thing I get from this series is Edward says he does things for Bella, but what he does is to protect himself. It's all about him, he's manipulative and emotionally abusive. However in this movie/book he did get better, at least on the last part. He was absolutely more grown up than Jacob.

(Book too) Jacob, you could use reading my Bella rant. No means NO, and what you are doing is called sexual harassment. Oh yeah, it totally is. I found the scenes where Jacob (who's a kid by the way, he's several years YOUNGER than Bella) keeps trying to force himself on Bella to be creepy. Creepy as hell. Of course the next book cranks that creepy dial up a notch.

(Book again) The Cullens wimping out. I didn't care in the book about Bree, since she was a minor character. But it was horrible in the movie how they stood aside and let Felix kill her. They did make a speech, but then stood aside. I didn't like that, and I don't like how it happened in the book either.

For a movie about vampires, there was a surprising lack of blood. There was some, but not where you expected. I guess it's how they made the final fight PG because the vampires seemed to be made of crystal, no blood or anything gross. Bit of a cop-out.

Jasper's accent. I know, it makes sense he's supposed to be southern. But damn, it was a shock. He's gone from no lines to a lot of lines, and it was weird.


The good parts.

The fights. They were cool. That's really it, it was neat seeing the other vampires fighting (Rose/Emmet/Alice/Esme/Carlisle). The wolves fighting was cool.

The Vampire army was neat, and Riley was definitely cool. Rose getting more of a back story / actual lines. Jasper also getting the backstory and more lines (he's on both lists).

Alice in Wonderland.

The bad parts.

Ok, listen up. It's ALICE in Wonderland. Not "The Mad Hatter in Wonderland". All the promotional material was about JDepp, and it got ANNOYING.

The good parts.

The red queen, she was funny. HBC does rock. The white queen, she was funny as well. Seriously, just watch Anne Hathaway's hands.

Alice, she was good. The story was pretty good too.


Note to self - finish this.

I saw How To Train Your Dragon 4 times in the theatre, once in IMAX. It was better the 4th time than Clash of The Titans was the first time.
