so why do people hate twilight?

scifi type people seem to hate it, never seen it personally, just wondering what all the hate is about

It's just the cool thing to do. Really.

I'm betting most people that claim to hate it, really don't. Just jumping on the bandwagon. And the whole "glittering vampires" argument is so weak, as if whether or not vampires glitter in the sun will make or break movies and books. I'm also fairly certain that a sizeable amount of haters have never read any of the books or seen any of the movies beyond trailers on youtube.

Twilight has become socially acceptable to troll, so people troll it at any given oppertunity, as in the fanbase. It's really just a clash of opposing infantile opinions.

You can discern a typical hater from a person who is open-minded and has arrived

at the conclusion of not liking the specified object. The latter would not

be so intense about it.

The problem is that it would take a lot of work to be "open-minded". If I know I'm not going to like something before even going in to the theater, what is the point of wasting 2 hours or however long the movie is, just to be able to lable myself "open-minded". I know enough about it, without seeing it or reading the books, to know that this series sucks (imo of course).

Nobody is forcing you to go see it with a bunch of tweeners, good sir :lol:

How about a rent + late night with girlfriend or something ^^

... Do you really believe in the stuff you type out? It doesen't take a rocket scientist to figure out that a lot of people are jumping on the hate bandwagon regarding twilight, you will even get some of them to admit that that is exactly what they're doing, for some of the reasons I already stated. My argument does not work to prevent all things being or becoming popular to be criticized legimately, my argument is a comment on the majority of the criticism advocated as legitimate, when it is in fact not the case. You are twisting my argument into some extreme, and it's not, it's a generalization and it stands to serve a valid point.

This is how the Movie should of ended :)

For something to be destroyed, it has to be assumed as fixed.

There have always been different presentations of vampires around.

All they added is glittering skin, day-walker concepts and

'vegetarianism'have been aroundfor a while, as far as i'm concerned.

Its all about what you consider to be fitting to your image of vampires.

I hate it because it's poorly written, every other sentence begins with "i". Its vocab is repetitive and just idolizes Edward way too much. Honestly, it reads like bad Anne Rice fan fiction.

I also can't stand the plot. Cliches may enhance a plot, but they should never be the plot!

And of course, it's ruined vampires. They're supposed to be scary and awesome. Not beautiful misunderstood creatures with delicate emotions.

I personally don't hate it, but I don't understand its popularity either.

Isabella." He pronounced my full name carefully, then playfully ruffled my hair with his free hand. A shock ran through my body at his casual touch. "Bella, I couldn't live with myself if I ever hurt you. You don't know how it's tortured me." He looked down, ashamed again. "The thought of you, still, white, cold . . . to never see you blush scarlet again, to never see that flash of intuition in your eyes when you see through my pretenses . . . it would be unendurable." He lifted his glorious agonized eyes to mine. "You are the most importand thing to me now. The most important thing to me ever."

The book is so bad. Poorly written and aimed at nothing but preteen or teenage girls.
