VIDEO: Red Letter Media's Review Of TWILIGHT: BREAKING DAWN PART 2

"Wahhhh, why is Twilight on this site! WTF!!!"

It's making fun of it.

"Doesn't matter, WAHHHHHHHH"...commence.

Iv'e never seen a Twilight movie.

lmao at 8:00. That spit take.

@MischiefKnight- Well, it is Thanksgiving.

NickKaseAKAthePieEATERxGETIT, if you took a helicopter ride you'd ask them to turn the fan off wouldn't ya?

Hmmm. Interesting. Personally I don't like them because they are [frick]ing terrible movies.

This review is making fun of the movie..what part of that is giving you so much trouble?

LOL

this was funny as hell. thanks Ror, for this. I'd only heard of them, but seeing them in action they're pretty damn funny.

I guess I know how I'll be spending the weekend.

Thanks to all who actually bothered watching the vid and understand why I posted it!

Splenda, ha, well they like some stuff:)

There is a misconception about the Twilight movies out there - defenders of the saga seem to think that they are hated so much because of their subject matter, because their target audience is a bunch of screaming teenage girls, and somehow because the movies are not aimed at a broader audience, those outside the demographic view them with contempt. Now while this may be true in some cases, I can tell you that there is one reason and one reason only that the Twilight saga is so despised.

They are terrible movies.

I should probably add an "in my opinion" after that right? Well no, I'm not going to. Obviously everyone likes different types of films, everyone has a different gauge on what they consider to be "good" or "bad", it's all subjective. But aren't there standards at the same time? We judge movies based on their story, the performances, the direction etc, and when every single one of these falls below that certain standard, sometime you just have to come out and say it - lots of people liking a movie doesn't make it good, it just means lots of people like a bad [frick]ing movie. And the latest installment - despite what you might have heard from critics - might just be the worst yet.

Yes, I saw it - under duress - but I saw it. It's awful. Everything about it, awful. NOTHING happens for two hours, aside from a bunch of bland characters standing around spouting laughable dialog, then when something finally doe happen at the end...it's a dream..sorry, "premonition".

To answer you question Mugwamp, it's because we want good movies. Demographic shmemographic..there are PLENTY of movies not aimed at me specifically that I enjoy, but while garbage like this keeps making boat loads of money, they are going to keep making lazy, banal, soulless films..and as a film fan, well that's not a good thing is it?

Yeah, I'd like to second Ror's comments about why it matters that these films suck. And why we should be vocal about the hate.

Hollywood is a business. They put stuff out there every year, and see what sticks. Whatever sticks, they make more of it. Whatever doesn't stick, we see much less of it. The success of Avengers is leading to DC and Fox trying to start their own shared superhero universes. Films like Transformers lead to films like Battleship. Batman & Robin's failure (CRITICAL failure, it did make money), and then Batman Begins' success has lead to a string of reboots that take their source material more seriously as well as some misguided ones which just 'gritty' it up.

Anyways, my point is Hollywood is a bunch of monkey see monkey do. If we let the Twilight films slide by without completely trashing them, we will see a huge surge in those sort of films

When the first Twilight succeeded, there began an influx of Twilight-esque films (Beastly and all that crap), but Twilight was critically battered and nobody let the copycats gain any sort of steam. Now of course, Twilight maintained the audience it had already gained. But the incessant critiquing and stigmatizing of it prevented Hollywood churning out too many of them. I could say the exact same thing with Transformers' success and then Battleship's failure. But the point is made.

We NEED to hate on it, because it directly influences the product we'll get.
