Twilight Reloaded...

I didn't have any hopes regarding the story, but I still had a few left it could contain some interesting visual material. I guess, I was a bit too optimistic.

The story: Boy wants girl, but girl has some supernatural issues.

The concept of vampires has already been sucked dry, so now we have "casters". Some kind of immortals that can do all kind of magic tricks, just not the right one at the right time. So you have to sit trough 2 hours of cliche after cliche, some of the worst acting I've seen in a while (not counting Movie 43), combined with a few very unconvincing special effects.

There is no character development whatsoever, I did feel absolutely nothing for any character on screen. In the end, I just want everybody to die quickly somehow, just to get over with it.

Another $60M (give or take a few million) well spent...
