To begin with Edward decides to leave Bella (for her own good of course.) Bella gets depressed and mopes around for a loooooong time. She takes up risky activities and hangs out with Jake, the nice hunky Native American boy, whom she leads on and treats rather badly in my opinion.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not until half-way through the movie that the werewolves finally appear. This is a great relief since the werewolves are good hokey fun, but we don&#8217;t see enough of them. The part of the movie that isn&#8217;t about Bella moping is perhaps one-third about werewolves and the rest about the emo vampires.<\/p>\n<p>This is too bad since I like the werewolves better. I&#8217;m sick of hearing the vampires whine about what a dreadful curse it is to be eternally young and beautiful and rich. The werewolves are working-class monsters. They have a less-privileged life, but they are proud and good with their hands and generally don&#8217;t complain as much. Bella prefers the vampires, but that just shows her poor taste.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twilight, the original movie, was cheesy fun.
