Being, all pissed off about it not receiving an Oscar nomination. Now, I for one saw it and I had preconceived notions it would suck. Much too my surprise it was not as bad as I perceived it to be, but still it was not great either. Mediocre really, nowhere near Oscar worthy.Yet, there is a mass hysteria that surrounds the film and people say, stupid things, like it is the best movie of all-time. When in reality it is not even close and saying so is a mockery to cinematography. This movie is nowhere near Oscar worthy because the movie is bland at times and seems to compare to the Hollywood movies of today where it is mediocre or just really bad.Very few movies are exceptionally done nowadays as Hollywood has taken a turn for the worst, since the late 90's to now. There are no more Forrest Gump's, Shawshank Redemption's, The Godfather's, A Clockwork Orange's = movies that stand the test of time. Twilight is a mediocrity and fits nowhere w/ such movies that are Oscar worthy, like Slumdog or Benjamin Button. Those are movies w/ renowned directors, like Danny Boyle and a star cast, like Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett not amateurs, like Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. And Twilight sure as hell has no place being mentioned in the greatest movie of all-time category. That is insulting to Casablanca, Citizen Cane, Raging Bull, Forrest Gump, Scarface, A Clockwork Orange, Shawshank Redemption, etc. so why does Twilight still have this mass craze around it?
 
Because it has "hot" vampires that seem to be the perfect boyfriend? It's a love story that doesn't involve Old English or literary analysis?Hey, I'm just as confused as you are. And I'm a teenage girl, too. Why Twilight?I have people telling me they read one of those books in a day and how the writing is so good and yadayada. And they have the nerve to bash good literature of today, too.
 
We all got opinions and just as much rights to uphold those opinions, to me it's just another fad, pretty much like the harry potter fad from before.
 
The reason people are so crazed about twilight is because it is a good film. It may be a romance but it is a lot better than some of the romance rubbish out there and a lot better than most movies. The way it is done and the effects is mindblowing. I think it is really good and can see that it is popular for a reason. After seeing it twice in two consecutive weeks, i can wait to see it again. I LOVED IT!!!But we can agree to disagree. Twilight is good but just not your type of movie.
