I watched one of those films with my friends. We started a drinking game and that made it pretty good.

The trick, in my experience, is to turn on whichever commentary track has Robert Pattinson. You are literally incapable of hating Edward Cullen as much as he does.

[iceyred]

LOL, if I ever have to sit through another Twilight movie I'll take that option. Honestly though, vodka. It makes bad things funny.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree, OP. I half watch them for the hilariously awful stuff (imprinting, the Mormon undertones), and half out of genuine appreciation for the films themselves. They definitely improved on a lot, and it helps you don't have to read Bella's inane commentary about things (but then again the same is true of The Hunger Games).

[(Anonymous)]

This is true, especially for Eclipse. The wolf/newborn battle was AWESOME!

[thezmage]

I set out to watch all of them with the rifftrax commentary playing. I could barely get through New Moon, it was so terrible.

[(Anonymous)]

Still not as bad as The Vampire Diaries.

[rydain]

Twilight put me to sleep even with Rifftrax. I liked Alice and the baseball scene with Supermassive Black Hole, but twas a mere drop of redemption in the failbucket.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm rather fond of the series (and the books, from what I can remember - mostly for Alice/Jasper) because my best friends and I watched those movies in our mid-20's so it's been a tradition to go see them each year. It's just silly, fun camp for us and we have our own shipping wars; in jest of course.

Apart from that though, I don't think I'd be too much into it otherwise. And yes I agree that the movies make it much better because we're not stuck inside of Bella's head the entire time.

[diet_poison]

Alice and Alice/Jasper are pretty much the best things about the books.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes. Jasper x Alice is one of my favourite OTP's but that's because Meyer didn't touch upon them that much and when she did it the last book it was pretty bad. It sucks too because her ideas were rather fun but they got lost in her poor storytelling. I just wish it was better written is all, but I know a lot of people wish things that were 'almost there but not quite' wish the same of other marginal media.

[diet_poison]

I was really weirded out by the think in the fourth book and not even sure what SM was trying to accomplish with that. But that said, I think Jasper/Alice would be a fun pairing to explore in fic since, like you said, she left it largely untouched except for that bit. I think their backstory is really interesting honestly.

[darkmanifest]

I enjoyed them, too. Showing the full vampire/werewolf battle in the last movie was a stroke of genius - even though it just a vision, they took the slightest potential for awesome and showed what a vampire movie should be like.

[(Anonymous)]

I like how in the fourth image Edward is in the middle, making it look like he briefly became the centre of the love triangle.

[ziltoidianrapture]

Eh, to be fair, the movies have Michael Sheen. Or as I like to call him, the only guy who looks like he's having any fun on set.

I seriously prefer the movies to the books. I sat through all of them with a friend and while I don't think that they're good movies, at least they're really entertaining if you manage to throw all the fucks you could give out of the window. Hell, we still quote the damn things from time to time.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree, OP!

[(Anonymous)]

To me, the movies were so much better that I actually enjoyed them, whereas what little I've read of the books indicates that I never want to touch them again. They cut out a lot of the really dreadful stuff. Edward doesn't actually stalk or abuse Bella in the movies nearly as much as he does in the books. I thought that was kind of a big deal.

The first movie also felt like, well, a vampire movie. The weird lighting effects were a big part of that, I think. Less so in the subsequent ones.

[(Anonymous)]

I like them, too. Forget the folks that want to hate a thing just to hate a thing. I do understand the people that have legitimate concerns about the worrisome parts from the books.

[(Anonymous)]

More like americans need to stop taking everything 100% literally. No wonder they have the Bible Belt.
