I don't know why people hate twilight or is subject of ridicule on every forum i go to. I like vampires and werewolf stuff. Its not another high octane hollywood action of saving the end of the world.........Please...there are worse stuff than twilight. By this i don't admit that twilight is worse. I am jus saying there are worse hollywood movies.BTW , I hate transformers. Talking robots, yeah right.
EDIT : Wat about fantasy movies like narnia and the golden compass. God i could not watch 5 minutes of those movies.
There are two possible reasons for the hate.
1 - they are fans of The Vampire Diaries, ages before rip-off wanna-be Twilight came out
2 - they're aspiring writers who can write crap better than Twilight
The only thing worse than Twilight is Drag Me To Hell. Both are ridiculous with weak plot points and lame anti-climaxes.
I liked Transformers. It took the 'talking robots' story further, made it different to A.I., I am Robot and Terminator. I like that style of film, I also really like supernatural romances.
Narnia and Golden Compass suck. Twilight is not a fantasy movie, it's meant to be a supernatural romance, so why you threw those two in there makes no sense to me.
Personally, I didn't like the Twilight books. I read the first, not even halfway through it I had 'this reminds me of VD' thoughts. I let it slip by, but a few pages later, there was another instance that made me think of VD again. Very similar
scenes. Yes, I believe in creative license, but if you can directly track a SCENE back to a book that was published 10 years prior, you have to ask yourself whether the story is really that original. If any book makes you think you're reading another book, it's called a rip off. I call BS on SM stating that she never watched or read vampire books. What a friggin liar.
Maybe, if the books had been shorter, with less idling stupid paragraphs and more character development, I would have liked it. Whoever was SM's editor? I want to track down her name and make sure I never come across her in publishing world. She clearly didn't do her job well. And this, above and beyond anything, is what drives me as a writer NUTS. This woman just randomly decided to write a story in three months and submit it for publishing. She's never written before, and she claims that she didn't research her topic beforehand. She gets published right away.
This isn't called luck, this is called stupidity. WTF.
It's a punch in the face to writers who give a **** about their audience, who put endless hours of effort and thought into their work. You can't blame us for taking the mickey out of her.
