The most psychotic part of the fanbase surprised me (and they're exactly what ruin Twilight's reputation).

The movie didn't. For me it was just a regular romance movie.

The movie is incredibly stupid.
The books are annoying.
The fanbase is insane.

Well all the RPG's died so i guess i will post XD

The movie to me was god aweful i had to turn it off it was like watching paint dry. Really boring, and they are not good actors really there just goofy. Really not as good as Harry Potter at all lol

Well... I've always had an unnatural obsession with Harry Potter, and therefore I was excessively disappointed when there became a rival which is not at all comparable to Harry Potter. Twilight is a simple romance novel with vampires. It's an overused plotline and yet became so popular (among teenage girls). Harry Potter is a very original story - at a first glance it may not seem to be so, but it is.

They aren't vampires
They're n00b-pires

Wow, this post is going a lot different then I thought it would.

iamrpk, I'm sorry, but I don't think you're liable to get a serious discussion about Twilight. The larger part of it's fanbase consists of teenage girls, and they aren't frequently found on forums.
I think the movie is fair enough. It's appealed to an audience (Whether or not it's a diverse audience or not) and has managed to appeal enough to have a sequel, despite it's criticism. In that sense, the film makers have succeeded.
To be honest though, the only part of it i actually liked, and the only reason I watched it in the first place was the 2 songs Paramore made for it.

What, you were expecting people to LIKE Twitlight?

I'm not sure, all the topic said was "Twilight surprised me..." Did I say, "Twilight was the best movie ever and I expect people to like it" and when I said "Wow, this post is going a lot different then I thought it would." I didn't think people would start thinking I was a crazed Twilight fan and try to talk me out of being one. I like Twilight, but that doesn't mean I'm a crazed Twilight fan.

I read the first page of the first book.

Bella is whining about moving to a stereotyped town. That's it.

I wasn't compelled to waste the energy required to turn the page.

ii read all the books, and saw the movie, and i even live near where it was filmed (im not gonna say where but you crazy stalkers out there will probably figure it out) lol i thought it was great and im a guy as well.  it was a nicely written piece of literature and i think most of the hatred stems from the fact that many girls wont shut up about it which annoys me too!

Exactly.
Due to an internet poll, where people stated the reasons why they disliked Twilight, 72.9% of people disliked it because they'd met the fans.
Though that's really the Twilight fanpeople's fault. And if you read some of the things Twilight fangirls have done (e.g. breaking a boys arm because he didnt like Twilight) shows you that the hatred is completely founded.
Paramore refused the offer to help with the soundtrack for Newmoon, as they didnt want to be associated with all the Twilight fanpeople, and be thought of as a "Twilight band".
