TRULY stupid
...the makers of this film had so little respect for their prospective audience's intelligence that they saw fit to make the audience aware that the gulf between human and Vampire strength is SO vast, that, even the idea of gentle, tentative and slow sex between a vampire and human leave people aghast; the likelihood of grievous injury is just...WAY too much to bear for our Vampiric Hero, Ed.
but...!
violent chest compressions? pft! no problem-o! Ed's palms of COURSE don't immediately pulverize his love's bone to a fine dust/smash through Bella's sternum and ribcage, crushing Bella utterly... imean, it's not at all like that same guy makes the act of ripping a fine, wooden poster bed to pieces - reducing the ####ing thing to splinters as a mere SIDE EFFECT of their oh-so passionate marital copulation. now, i'm pretty certain this whole hot mess makes complete sense to those...untold millions of people who devoured those books and every detail within them... but, still - it would have been wise of the director, stars, screenwriter(s)...basically ALL INVOLVED in making this molten mess of saccharine confusion to give even a slight f##k about us non-'twihards' ... this being a MOVIE and all. (which, when COMPETENTLY done, can both make sense to AS WELL AS perhaps, even ENTERTAIN both fans and non-fans alike.)
...Just a thought...y'know, for the re-makes. (which you just KNOW they're already planning.)
