Mopefest! Werewolves! Shakespearean allegory!
This one has somewhat more vamp action, partly because of the unfinished business from the first film, and partly because of the werewolf angle – which turns out to be unintentionally funny.
Bella spends the first third of the film moping sadly sadly sadly because Edward pulls the old “I’m breaking up with you because I love you and it’s the only way to keep you safe from harm” routine, and after spending three months sitting in her room looking sad (LITERALLY), she eventually seeks solace with her BFF Jacob, only to find out he’s actually a werewolf.
We laughed a lot at this. I mean, how unlucky can a girl be? “Jesus, is there ANY beautiful guy in this town who isn’t a supernatural creature?”
Only Bella doesn’t say that, because (1) vampires are sparkly and (2) werewolves are big cuddly werewolves who also looks dreamy (and cuddly) without a shirt on when they’re in human form. And Jacob is shirtless for most of the film, so hurray.
This is where we get into what could be a promising vampire/werewolf feud, but isn’t. It’s mostly treaties and speeches and a little snarling, and Bella spends the rest of the film doing really dangerous things just to get Edward to pay attention to her (which is both sad and a little pathetic), which inevitably leads to the Romeo/Juliet “I thought you were dead” routine, only no one dies – not even Edward, who is technically not alive but tries to commit suicide anyway. And this being Twilight, his suicide plan involves going to Italy, taking his shirt off and sparkling in public until either real vampires or fans of real vampires beat him to death for being annoying. Which, sadly, does not happen.
Oh, and Michael Sheen turns up as the Vampire King. He’s the best part of the whole film, and he’s only in it for the last ten minutes or so. So basically, everything just gets sillier and more cliché-ridden as it goes along, and it is in no way scary at all.
Nice doggy,
