i know - it sounds harsh, but as much as i *love* twilight, there are a few things that drive me bonkers. it can be from the books or the movies. here's my list:
the 'lion fell in love with the lamb' quote from the book. too hokey for my tastes.
recasting victoria after 'new moon'.
the 'new moon' scene where alice 'sees' bella as a vampire - *frolicking* through the woods with edward - that was lame - it should have shown her hunting instead.
okay - that's all for now! what about ya'll?

The frolicking thing, yes, Bella's feet looked huge in those shoes and that outfit was so dorky!
I would like to have seen something in the movies about Alice's background.
Yes, recasting Victoria sucked.
I will have to say, that I bought the movie Vampires Suck and found it hilarious. It is a spoof on Twilight, and they really hit the nail on the head in poking fun at some of the things that go on.0 -

'vampires suck' is *priceless! the only thing that i don't love about it is the charlie-and-his-blowup-doll theme - a little awkward for my tastes...0 -
Movies:
How forward Bella is. In the books, she's pretty bumbly and would NOT pursue Edward up a tree when she confronted him for the first time.
How inconsistent makeup and hair was through the movies!
Kristen Stewart. Sorry! I just don't like her. To me, she's the Keanu Reeves of Twilight. And that stutter... UGH!
Recasting Victoria! Rachelle was gorgeous and perfect.
Was anything said about how they found Emmett? Or how Alice and Jasper found them? To me, that adds a lot to the dynamic of the Cullens.0 -
Books: Lack of SEX! (Yeah, yeah, I get that she's Mormon and these books were written with teens in mind. I get my fix from fanfiction now.)0
-
The recast
Rosalie's Eyebrows! My God those things are hideous! It's like she's being attacked by caterpillars!
Kristin Stewart... Do I really have to say why? The girl SUCKS! She can't act to save her life!
The overall lack of sarcasm... Seriously a little sarcasm goes a loooooong way. (I would have died laughing if when she goes "Can this happen?" if Edward had said "Well, Honey, you've ben pigging out the last few days, you were bound to put on a few." LOL)
And the f-ing talking dogs! That was just waaaaaaay too much!
Oh, did anyone catch Kristin's Boob's Cameo in her recap of their first night together? AND WTF was she shaving her legs for? Didn't she shave them for her wedding?!
And, I too freakin' LOVE Vampires Suck! Because, well, I LOVE Twilight, but the movies are a little over the top and cheesy (but that's WHY I LOVE them! LOL)0 -
Kristen Stewart. Bless her heart, she is obviously uncomfortable in front of the camera. Robert Pattinson is such an amazing actor to me, that he outshines her in everyway talent-wise. It's very unbalanced.
Also, Bella in the books is so emotional and loveable. Bella in the movies...not so much.
The wigs in the first movie!!!
The way Bella get's on that guy's motorcycle in New Moon. I was like WTF? Unnecessary!!!
P.S. Vampires Suck was AWESOME! My favorite part was when Bella told Charlie there were Wherewolves in the forrest and when Charlie wasn't looking, Billy kicks her and flips her off and says, "Thanks for everything, Bella." LOL. I had to pause the DVD.0 -
Totally Kristen Stewart! Ewwww! She is horrible in every movie I see her in!
Hate that they didnt add in Jacob's take on the situation like in breaking dawn. I love when he tries to go imprint on someone on his own and they didnt have any of that!
I am Team Jacob forever!!!!!0 -
Breaking Dawn movie:
The fact that Jacob was not a big part in the movie. This book is definitely about Jacob and how angry he was about Bella's pregnancy. Also, Rosalie is suppose to have a bigger role and she doesn't. I was looking forward to see the relationship or the fighting between Jacob & Rosalie. Overall I think they did a good job. The movie was still GREAT. Of course I prefer the books!
-Rosalie- :drinker:0 -
I hate Kristen Stewart. I re-read the books and watched the movies (haven't seen the new one yet) and it pissed me off how terribly she portrays Bella. Its so frustrating!
For example:
"Did you just stamp your foot? I thought girls only did that in movies." --Jacob (roughly the quote hahaha)
Can you imagine Kristen doing that? Um, no!0 -

she does a better job at bella than kristen0 -

hahahahaha! I agree! Hated that movie though!0 -

ditto! i had forgotten about how much that scene pis$ed me off!0 -
BD gave me a new one to hate.... Bella eating the chicken. Seriously! I can't take it, second time I saw the movie I had to look away. It made me want to vomit! And how much chicken is she going to eat?!0

I think I should market it as an appetite suppresant...0 -

I agree fully - Kristen was not the best person for this role, although now I can't see anyone in it but her. Her acting skills do suck, although she seems to have gotten better for Breaking Dawn Pt 1. I'm surprised she's being like this when in other movies, she seems to do so much better.0 -
Dislikes:
1) Kristen Stewart - not the best person for this role, could have played more on her awkwardnes like they did in the books
2) Taylor Lautner - although he is a cutie, I don't think he was the best person for the role either....in the books, after he changed, he was much more buff and bigger than Bella....Taylor can't be made to be but so big...just doesn't fit the role based on the book in my opinion
3) the wig choices throughout these movies SUCK!0 -

She was racing Edward in that scene in New Moon0 -

It was unfortunate they re-casted Victoria, but they had no choice.
I agree the hair was so different especially on Edward, he looked different every movie lol0 -
I actually liked Kristen, I liked them both as a duo together. There's not a lot I don't like about the films. Accept the hair was always different and the make-up.
I wonder if they will add Jacobs part in the 2nd film.0 -
The emotionless Kristen Stewart (sorry, I just don't like her)
Recasting of Victoria
The wigs (I'll stop there, because I tend to ramble on about dead animals on peoples heads. I've met both Jackson & Peter, and I don't know how they did it, but hair & makeup actually makes them both look terrible)
The running in the woods in New Moon.
Lack of sex in the books, but like beginswithb I read and write fanfiction to get past that.
I'm sure I have more0 -
My least favorite things:
-the horror of hair and make-up. I don't think the professionals involved with these films think of blonde the same way as the rest of us/ 99.9999% of the world. lol
-Some of the continuity problems can be easily overlooked, but Carlisle has changed his accent (and even attitude) pretty dramatically. Perfect example: think of him in Breaking Dawn compared to when he busted in the ER in the original Twilight.
-The fact that Midnight Sun won't be finished.
-Edward's twi-brows in the first film. Robert Pattinson is too beautiful to be waxed and tweezed like that.
Love Twilight no matter what though - books, movies, and FFn.0
