(4) The overly dramatic teen romance is lame to me
Exnihil: Novelty, if he had a power, the obvious one to me would of course be "The Power of Grayskull"

Okay:
- I didn't mind the special effects at all and think they did a good job. The CGI looked very good considering it was CGI.
- I wasn't bothered by the lack of scariness going in because I figured ahead of time, and after watching the first Twilight, I wouldn't be scared at all. And of course, the movie wasn't really scary at all.
- I also didn't mind the overly dramatic teen romance angle as I know from the first one that's what this would be all about. Every so often I indulge the inner teen me in this to harken back to the old feelings of teen yearning. And boy, the Twilight series has that in spades.
- Love Kristen Stewart, and am totally crushing on her. More so in Twilight but this was good too. I have no great spot in my heart for Bella and who should play her so I like Kristen in this. I know many other people revile her but I think she accomplishes precisely what she and the director(s) set out to do.
- I like the character Edward but I recognize its more wishful thinking on the author's part that a character could ever exist like that. In other words, Edward isn't exactly the most in depth character ever. So in that sense, I think the actor does a good job actually making him seem more real to me. So I appreciate what the actor is doing--teenage girls worldwide screaming his name beside the point.
- The other Cullen vampires I think do a pretty solid job. They're not quite in it that much. I like the sister Alice a real lot, and think the actress who plays her is totally hot. They aren't my favorite part of the movie but I don't mind them.
So, no one has it yet...

What was something about the film that I really didn't enjoy watching (on a purely subjective basis of my own tastes):
<strike>(1) Kristen Stewart as Bella
(2) Edward Cullen, the Vampire (and the kid who is really famous now for playing him)</strike>
(3) The werewolf kid
<strike>(4) The overly dramatic teen romance is lame to me</strike>
(5) It was too scary
<strike>(6) It wasn't scary enough
(7) Special effects
(8) The other Cullen vampires</strike> 3) The werewolf kid

 on the too scary part. Quis has it! For whatever reason, I really can't stand the werewolf kid. It's not really fair, because I learned he's only like 17 or 18 in real life. So that's probably it...he just seemed very immature to me, kind of like a lost puppy who couldn't compete with the vampire. I'm a horror buff but I have no great favorite among vampires or werewolves (much preferring creatures from black lagoons and such), but Jacob really just isn't even on the same playing field as Edward, and neither is the actor.

5 A.M.
Are we talking an exact time, cause in theory...it could be any time. Anything to narrow it a bit?

5 am is not correct.
It is an exact time and there are no minutes involved.
