I don't like it because it's really badly written, the vampires are more like faries and Bella is a total slut.

1) It's poorly written. Stephen King can back me up on SMeyer being a horrible writer.

2) Those are not vampires, they're sparkly fags. And by fag, I don't mean gay, I mean fag.

3) Edward is a 107 year old virgin. Can you say pathetic?

4) Bella has no redeeming qualities; she's a very weak main character. Physically she isn't strong. She can't run away right even; she trips too much. She's not smart, either, she's almost brain dead (come on, how long did it take her to figure out Edward was a vampire again?). She's not very pretty. She's not nice; she treats her friends horribly, and wants nothing to do with normal boys who aren't monsters. Somehow, everyone loves her, despite all this, which only makes her even more dislikable.

5) There is no plot. Or, if there is, it was so small I missed it.

6) Edward is abusive and a stalker.

7) Bella has absolutely no opposition to Edward stalking her. (In Buffy the Vampire slayer, Buffy tells Angel that girls don't like being stalked. She actually had brain and knew that stalking isn't hot, even though Angel is. She doesn't like it when Spike stalks her, either. She's a slayer and even she's normal enough to know that stalking isn't a turn on.)

8) Love at first sight isn't real. I know a lot of other stories use this, but you can't know a person's soul, who they really are, by just looking at them. Sure, you can get some idea's that may or may not be right, but you can't actually know deep into that person.

9) Jacob never had a chance. There was no second in the books when I thought she might have possibly picked him.

10) The book contradicts itself. First, vampires can't have children because the sperm is dead or something. Then, Bella ends up pregnant. Okay, pick a story and stick to it, Smeyer! Either they can or can't have children, not both!

11) She almost kills herself after they break up after going out for like a month. Great family values you're teaching there, Smeyer.

12) Bella's a little brat to her father.

13) It's extremely boring. I don't know how I even got through them…

14) The entire idea for the series, a vampire and human in love, is extremely cliché.

15) The fan girls of the series are ridiculous.

16) The movies are just talking heads. They're, if possible, as boring as the books.

17) The movies cast terrible actors/actresses. Kristen Steward never smiles and always wears the same expression, Robert Patterson is ugly with all that horrible make up on, Taylor Lautner has spray on abs.

18) When Bella becomes a vampire she's basically invincible with her super shield. There's no real battle or challenge.

19) It approves of pedophilia.

20) There's a Disney ending. Everyone's happy, no one's suffering, and everything works out for everyone. (Both Jacob and Edward get someone, along with all the original couples still being together and alive.) All the bad guys are gone, and good wins at no real cost.

I cannot answer why "'everyone' just hates on it," however I can share my personal reasons for not particularly liking the Twilight series. First let me state I have read at least part of it, and I have a plethora of complaints, but three that are of particular importance: first, this book series has almost no literary merit. the plot is poorly developed and cliche, I also found found Meyer's characters to be rather like stock characters more suited for a parody, or possibly a fable or parable of some kind. Her grammar was also rather poor, and the plot contradicted itself; second, the morality of these works is highly questionable. Bella is a rude, annoying, foolish girl who is still rather popular. This book also seems to condone teenage sex/ pregnancy, as well as total devotion to a male, and stalkerish behavior, to name a few; third, the obsessive and often obnoxious fans, Cullenism or the worship of Edward Cullen is actually trying to become a recognized religion or at least cult. Although this appalls me, I would care very little if these fans would stop claiming that those who do not like the series are stupid, just haven't read it, etc. and stop trying to push it on me and others who don't care.



With all that being said I was not intending to offend anyone, nor am I claiming that all of the fans are like this, however some are and they greatly turned me off this book before I even read it.



I would also like to add that my opinion caries a sort of bias, as I was raised on the classics, and my home contains an abundance of wonderful, well written literature. I have read more classics then the average teenager and I truly love great literature and so I am not easily taken in my today's flashy best sellers.

They don't really hate Twilight itself. People hate the fact that it is so popular when the movies are not that good at all. The fan girls are annoying too. They go around everywhere saying Edward's so hot.. Jacob's so hot.. lalala Twilight love!!



I was a fan of the books and still am, but I just cannot like the movies because:

1. they're made pretty bad.

2. Robert Pattinson is ugly.

i like anime. I be conscious your profile %, it truly is an anime character. I additionally hate Twilight. I hated it interior the beginning up and then I gave it yet another probability on the grounds which you're able to desire to no longer bash something until you have considered it and now I hate it returned. This time my hatred for Twilight is better than the 1st. i found out that I on no account enjoyed it in any respect. i've got faith so stupid for before liking Twilight. Anime is a lot greater effective for me. Twilight isn't my element. i won't be able to stand it and all of us who starts a controversy approximately Twilight being greater effective than anime, i'm going ballistic. I agree, Twilight is sickening.

I've read the books and I have to say they're awful. I don't understand why someone would want to be in Bella Swan's head all the time. It seriously annoys me to no end that she ALWAYS needs to be with Edward. Meyer always said that Bella was independent. However, throughout the whole book Bella does nothing but contradict that. It's just a fad. Nothing meaningful or life changing comes from that book. I love reading and one of my favorite things about reading is setting the book down, and having gained something meaningful. That just doesn't happen in Twilight.

I'm a dude and this is what I believe.



People hate on Twilight because the movies actually suck. The first one is full of poor acting, Jacob's wig was a laughing stock and the editing was disastrous.



New Moon wasnt any better. Kristin Stewart proved she was as stiff as a hunchback, her emotions were pathetically portrayed and she couldn't even say hello without struggling. The only part of this movie that made it any better is Taylor's ACTING. Not because he had his shirt off, which I found as a desperate attempt to lure teenage girls.



Haven't watched Eclipse, and I'm not going to.



As for the books, let's not even go there. They are sooo biased upon Bella's viewpoint of Edward. Page One. You love him. Page 300. You love him. NO PART in the book goes by without the mentioning of how hot Edward is and how dreamy his lips are and so forth.



Finally, call me old-fashioned, but a guy who watches a girl sleep at night is a f****** perv.

Because it is just a load of vampiric bullshit and it is an insult to the classic vampires.. Not to mention the books are just stupid and low quality disgrace to literature and the horrible movie is a disgrace to the cinema

I don't. I'm a guy and I actually like the movies. I have both movies on DVD, and I can't wait to get Eclipse on DVD. I love collecting movies and this is definately in my collection.



The reason why it's so hated is because it has such a huge girl cult following and it makes "alpha-males" feel uncomfortable. I'm a straight male and I like it and i could care less what anybody else thinks, you like what you like. it's an effing' MOVIE!!!
