Ok I am a huge Buffy fan but would never watch Twilight again or read the books because they go against everything a vampyr is supposed to be. Vampyrs don't f-ing sparkle; they don't reproduce. That movie just pisses me off. —Lisa

Kristen Stewart's acting style goes a little like this: crease brows, pout lips, hang mouth open and blow derisively through nose, roll eyes, repeat. Repeat and repeat and repeat incessantly for two hours. And yet, she is the perfect Bella, because there is absolutely nothing to like in the character, period. She's not honest. She's not loyal to anyone, including Edward. She's needy, passive/aggressive, sulky and self-obsessed. If my daughter showed half of Bella's chronic poor judgment I'd have no choice but to consider a convent. —Machunny

The really creepy thing is all the older women who are obsessed with New Moon. Thirty-year-old women lusting over a 17-year-old boy [Taylor Lautner] is creepy. Moms asking Twilight kids to sign their breasts? I am totally baffled by this. —Invaliduser

If you watch television, how can you not be sick of this movie already? My favorite actor is Daniel Day-Lewis. If he were on every show, all day, everyday, I would be annoyed. That would never happen, though, because he is a real actor. Not a media-hyped airbag. —TVWatcher

I hated the movie Twilight — terrible acting, terrible 'special' effects, terrible writing, etc. I wanted them to make Twilight into a movie when I first read the book, but now I wish it had never been put on the big screen. —The First Twilight movie hater

The first part of the movie drags on way too long. Bella is depressed. We get it. We actually got it in 5 minutes.... You can't put everything from a book into a movie. Time constraints. I know. But it should include the crucial components that give insight into the fabric of the storyline. The scenes with the Volturi, while beautifully filmed, felt rushed and thrown on the end of the movie just to set up a sequel. Teen fans will be happy just to see their idols on the screen again. But in my opinion, they were sold-out. —Quiff

10. Robert Pattinson's Just Not That Cute

I don't get the hype over this Pattison kid. He is not attractive. He looks high ALL the time. As a matter of fact, both main characters always look high with their eyelids half open staring into the camera. —Jessica
