That's not true ironclad Send a noteboard - 07/03/2012 12:41:06 PM
Interesting how divided opinion seems to be, other than that, wonder what I'll make of them myself.

From what I can tell the divided opinion is between people who've read the books and people who haven't.

Friend of mine (female, in her 20s, read Twilight too) loves the books, but I've also heard a lot of negative things and complaints about the series being the next Twilight (aka horrid crap). When I saw the first images from the film I knew why. Exclusively attractive teenagers in desperate situations. Not much there for people outside the target audience.

That being said, the trailer looks decent. If the first reviews aren't horrible, I plan to watch it.

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

It's anything like twilight only in the sense that it has a lot of fans. - 07/03/2012 03:36:43 PM 1566 Views
What about the fact it plagiarizes a better book and movie? - 10/03/2012 04:38:15 PM 1416 Views
Which plagiarized Dune and so on and so forth. [Battle Royale plagiarized the Lotterry, etc, etc] - 12/03/2012 06:29:35 PM 1544 Views
