The Twilight Saga: One girls struggle about the choice between bestiality and necrophilia

So I've been meaning to write this one for a while. I'm not entirely sure on where to start... I think it might be the fact that Bella, the leading female character, a) displays absolutely no emotion apart from to curl up into a foetal position for months on end (grow a pair, girl, we all have break ups.); b) has a life that revolves solely around a boy who shows about as much emotion as her, barely talks and won't touch her (how in gods name was that ever going to work?!) and c) reinforces a stereotype that should be with Fiona Bruce on Antiques Roadshow, that women need a man to survive (what ever happened to feminism?). So while the audience is struggling to watch all that with the main character alone, there are other flaws as well.

The problem I have with the Cullen family, is that none of them seem to have any depth or charisma. Like I said, Edward barely talks, he just sits there looking all broody and mysterious- which is a good look for Robert Pattinson, however it does not make for a good character. Alice would probably be interesting if she had more screen time, she's fun and entertaining and can see the future, so that's the basis of a good character, however the films do not go into enough detail with her. Rosalie just seems to be bitter about being a vampire, and hates Bella for some reason, which isn't explained either. Parents Carlisle and Esme, and Jasper and Emmett are barely touched upon, so I can't really say much about them. And underlying all of this is the fact that traditionally, vampires are human hunting bad asses that burn in the sun- not a group of teenagers that keep repeating high school (who does that?), and sparkle in the sun!

So in this everlasting struggle that Bella  goes through, there's the werewolf as well, Jacob. To give credit to Taylor Lautner, he does well with what he has... which is basically to take his top off every 5 minutes (not that I'm saying that's a bad thing, but again, doesn't make for the best character). He loves Bella throughout all the films, till he realises he's imprinted (basically love at first sight, even if one of the people is a baby.) on her daughter! So that's not a messed up situation at all. Jacob's got more about him than the Cullen family, but he's a bit of a pathetic character, doting on Bella all the time.

I don't hate everything about these films though... the soundtracks are pretty good!  This would normally change my opinion on a film, for instance The Perks of Being a Wallflower doesn't have the best story in the world, but it's alright and the soundtrack's really good so that changed my mind... however Twilight doesn't even have an alright plot, so I still don't like it, sorry to the respective directors and Stephanie Meyer, but it wasn't my cup of tea.
