When vampires suck. Big time.

If I was still seventeen, I would've adored Bella Swan.

At least I'd try to look like her. However, even to my emo standard back then, Bella Swan is one pathetic girl. Who happens to be at the center of a love triangle between a vampire and a werewolf.

Yes, I challenged my senses by watching both the Twilight saga on Saturday. The first installment on DVD, and then on to New Moon in PIM.

May I just say, holy Mother of Queen Akasha.

If this is what vampires look like to the younger generation, then those in Transylvania should be offended.

Not only the plot is crappy and cliche, it's also very redundant. Each movie could've been wrapped in about 30 minutes.

It's also dangerous for teenagers, especially girls, seeing how Bella is one pathetic, completely hopeless romantic. She slept in the woods after Edward had dumped her, also between the trees.

And then she acted all Pink by trying edgy stuff. Bike riding, cliff jumping.. All that just to see the spirit of Edward. At the same time, she flirted with another guy, who happened to be a werewolf.

Raam Punjabi could've made a better plot.

True, Edward is good looking. But the freakin' shiny-under-the-sun boy cried after kissing the girl he liked.

Now younger girls, that is not the kind of man you want for the rest of your life.

There should be more fighting scenes. New Moon highlights the rivalry between Edward and Jacob, between vampires and werewolves. But the only brawl I saw was that 20-second catfight at the end of the movie. Might as well throw in some Jell-Os there boys.

Even if I was seventeen, I don't think I would've wasted my pocket money for a movie this awful.
