Why do a lot of men hate Twilight so passionately?

Post Reply New Topic

Jealous probably that the men get so much attention.

It's just a movie and a book, who cares. I dislike the books because they're slow moving and boring, I don't go onto bashing the characters.

So it doesn't portray vampires in the way you like. It's like me getting angry about a movie that doesn't portray unicorns the way I like, in other words, a waste of energy. They aren't real, does it really matter if someone twists the meaning of vampire so it appeals to 10 year old girls? It's a big money maker.

If you don't like it, don't watch it or talk about it. There are plenty of other normal vampire movies to watch.

True the characters are well put together and yes the story is dull and boring I just hate what they have turned vampires into Edward glitters in the sunlight thats just a oxymoron

Well the story isn't going to work if he screams and then dissolves into a pile of ash and flames is it?

It is a Chick Flick

In this case, I think it's because they're insanely jealous of Robert Pattinson. (Of course, if you tell them as such, it just riles them up even more. )

Check out my IMDB page!

I have no opinion of Twilight itself as I have neither read or seen it (yet-- my mum bought me a copy for Christmas one year and I do intend to read it at some point; oh hell it won't cost me anything but time!)

I do think it's kind of weird the hate that is going around for this -- being as I am a full advocate for personal taste and subscriber to the Don't LIke Don't Read philosophy. This is something that baffles me as well and honestly, I do think there is a degree of sexism involved in the outright hatred for literature aimed at teenage girls.

twilight is part of the mythology in a way
i mean think about it vampire mythology is always changing even now vampire mythology has changed more than we think look at blade and the Bela Lugosi movies and Nosferatu even hellsing no matter how annoyingly dark and boring it is i mean I'm male but i don't hate twilight why.....................interesting changes it added to the mythology in the way of a new type of vampire not just"awesome burn in the sun-light dark don't f**k with me"vampires


if you ask me i like the idea up until oh i don't know a f*****g abortion thing it's a good series stop hating it's worthwhile in a way you just need to stop thinking with balls and examine it a bit more don't hate me k please and thank you

All that needs to be said about Twilight (If you haven't read this, it is quite funny!)

Because it's drivel...? xD This guy sums it up in a way I can't.

I liked the first movie when I had a girlfriend to watch it with. Something fun, innocent, and standalone.
But actually attempting to read any of it when I was shown the actual book? My God, it is so poorly written.
A lot of the descriptions for things are not only out of character for a teen, but you wouldn't hear them ever.

Then there's the clichés. And well, it's got a target audience which are younger girls that daydream about this sort of stuff and the writing is clearly tailored for them. It's not that all guys want to dislike it to prove a point, it is not marketed at them thus there is little appeal. Meyer knows their target audience and it isn't guys.

Last point I'd like to make, The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice do a better job at the romance side of things from my point of view and if it's a movie you are after try Bram Stoker's Dracula, or from the human perspective of it 30 Days of Night.

So contrary to some of the remarks made in this thread, it's not just the more piggish of the guys that dislike it; a lot of people that have read other books and seen other movies of the same style (men and women) view this as nothing more than 3rd rate material written by a hack, selling it to an audience that would not know any books before it therefore would have nothing to compare its quality against.

There's nothing wrong with liking Twilight. It does what it sets out to do, and if you like it fine. But do not be so quick to judge those that dislike it.
