This movie actually impressed me in one way

I've never in my life seen a movie where every single major character is completely unlikable, and yet, the film is massively popular. That is actually impressive, I must admit.

I mean, you have Bella, who, in the scene where Jacob finds out she's going to marry Edward, pulls the ultimate manipulation to end all manipulation. She had been flat out telling Jacob to STOP trying to break Edward and her up the ENTIRE movie. So, when Jacob accepts this and is ready to move on with his life, she STOPS HIM. What the hell is wrong with this girl??? She got what she wanted!!! He will never try to court her again. But no, she can't bear not having two guys pine over her, so she tells him to kiss her, despite admitting like two minutes later that she loves Edward more. That would be like a person goading their friend who finally overcame alcoholism into having a shot of hard liquor just because their quitting drinking meant they wouldn't hang out anymore. She also has just about every single character in the movie give her very sound advice (her mom, Rosalie, Charlie, Jacob, Jessica, etc.) and she just ignores all of them. Bella Swan, professional sociopath. And idiot.

Then you have Edward, who, during this movie (not even counting all the horrible things he's done in the previous two movies), does the following:

--Only agrees to turn Bella into a vampire if she marries him, which she agrees to, and repeatedly tries to weasel out of this manipulation because he's.....a nice, Christian vampire or something???
--PURPOSELY sabotages his girlfriend's truck to prevent her from seeing a male other than himself
--Says he was prepared to break a centuries-old treaty...because his girlfriend dared to speak to another boy
--Gets pissed off at her for possessing a handmade bracelet from said boy
--Lies to her over and over again
--Withholds very important information about the Volturi (specifically Aro's plan to enlist Alice and him into the vampire mafia, which basically means the rest of the Cullens' deaths) from the rest of his family because...........reasons???

Could this guy be any more of a creep???

And then we have Jacob, who was far and away the best character in the previous movie, but gets his character assassinated in the most epic way imaginable. He goes from sweet, best friend (who SINGLE-HANDEDLY pieced Bella back together after her mentally and physically abusive, vampire ex-boyfriend up and abandoned her and left her vulnerable to evil vampires) to a complete douche who sexually assaults Bella when she repeatedly tells him she has no feelings for her.

So, yeah. Bravo, Stephenie Meyer and Co. You all made a movie with completely horrible main characters that just abuse each other in spectacular ways and have practically zero redeeming qualities and you got hundreds of millions of dollars out of it. As a published author myself, I am legit impressed.
