get ready for all the b!tchy whiners complain that "BD should NOT be covering this movie" crap. i LOVE that Michael Sheen (LUCIAN from Underworld & FROST/NIXON) is in this. i'll check it out.
Besides the usual bollocks people say about Twlight, what this movies needs is a kick in the arse towards the character development side of things. There was non of it in the first one it was just A to B to C with no leeway. Hopefully with the surprising new cast elements we can expect just a little glimmer of hope.
I am so glad Michael Sheen is doing this! especially as Aro! I think Dakota Fanning and Cameron Bright will fit too! I'm ready for it.No its not horror but the first one was fun and the book of New Moon was awesome! So yeah I'm ready for this especially since they will have werewolves and vampires!
"Bitchy whiners?" Only bitches would watch this lame shit. Is this a tampon ad with vampires in it? Oh wait it's a fucking Noxema ad with vampires in it. The guy in the picture is getting pad in zit pads. Get a fucking life 'Twilight' fans.
My wife made me watch the first one and it was horrible. What kind of vampire movie shows no vampire teeth? Oh, and the sun makes them glitter....ooohhh. So yeah, won't be watching this stupid sequel.
