I have friends who watched this only for Taylor Lautner's abs and I mean he's not a piece of meat. If people are over-concerned with the appearance of the characters, they're not going to be critical of the series. If you ask a twilight-fangirl what they thought of the new moon, most likely one of the things they'll say is how hot _______ and ________ was or whatever.


Let's not even get me started on the anti-feminist themes in the series.

FINALLY! someone realized this. I have wondering about this and been pretty pissed about it. people comes and saying jacob this and jacob that or edward is soo hot. my answer is thats all you noticed? you care about how hot the men are but the women don't matter. no one really says much about their acting either its always the appearance. Jacob and edward aren't the only thing! there is a girl named bella too... even when it comes to the actors who portray the characters, if you post then pic taylor rob and kris then every single person will focus on the guys, no one will care about how kristin looks. there are more twilight then just the appearance of the guys, there is a wonderful love story waiting to be discovered.

I know I went a bit off topic about how everyone focuses on the guy never the girl while topic was about objectifying men of the series but i suppose it falls into the category, and plus I got to vent out my frustration.

I haven't seen New Moon yet but in Twilight, I actually thought Kristen did a great job... especially in the part where James bit her.... I also liked the girl who played Jessica :P She was funny :P

I think most people like the series only for the actors. Twilight wasn't that popular before the movie came out.

^^way to go Aish..yup i feel the same way..Twlight series was Popular but not as popular before the promos for twilight started coming out and people watched it for the actors.i personally didnt like Twilgiht at all cause it was sooo poorly made in my opnion and Kristen acting was average..and I'm sorry to say Rob was ohk aswell..
but New Moon..was fantastic...Kristen did a MARVELOUS job...Rob was GREAT..and Taylor was just soooooo Good..he was OUTSTANDING but i just didnt look at the guys..when i was watching the movie i was like yes they followed the book.yes.yes..
i think the story was the best..it Followed out the book sooo perfectly..and Bella's pain.. i think everything..every scene..was executed soo good..and perfectly.. and when we walked of the theatre i talked about the movie and its plot and the acting..the actors looks and appearances was the last thing i talked about..but yeh I'm guna say i fall into to the category of people who thought taylor was hot..
In my opnion New Moon was way better in terms of acting and storyline then Twilight.

Personally, I watched New Moon because I was a really big fan of the books, not the characters. But yeah, alot of my friends watched it only cause of Jacob and they liked it cause of him too?

I LOVEEEE Jacob's character, and I guess his looks are just a bonus in the movies for me.
I totally know where you're coming from...its kind of annoying cause most girls like the movies cause of how the way the vamps/werewolves look. =/
