[imdb tt1099212]Well…the trailer for Twilight was pretty much on par with the film. It definately exhibited the beautiful scenery in the film, and also how they build up drama with the camera work. It also, sadly, gave away how bad the acting was. In the trailer, all of Kristin Stewart’s lines are delivered in the same monotonous drone, but I figured the trailer editor just happened to use clips that had the same emphasis. No, pretty much all her lines are delivered like that. Furthermore, Robert Pattinson’s long, agonizingly worried face never changes expression in the trailer or the film. The actors didn’t give the editor much to work with.
I assume marketers figured a trailer chock full of angst, drama, angst, and more drama would certainly reel in the teenage girls, but the boys wouldn’t care without a little bit of action. Thus, half the trailer is about the bad vampires who kill like animals and beat up on the good vampires…but this is a teeny tiny bit of the movie, towards the end of it. They built up the crazy vampire murder action, when that is only twenty minutes of the film…the rest is simply drama, angst, and MORE ANGST. If I was a teenage boy, or girl for that matter, I’d want those two hours of my life back, or at least my fifteen bucks. Hell…I DO want my fifteen bucks back!
