10 Worst Young Adult Novel Movie Adaptations

5. The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)

The Twilight films, what would a list of this sort be without including Edward Cullen (the creepy, emo 100+ year old vampire), Jacob Black (our favorite shirtless werewolf), and Bella Swan (arguably the worst female movie character of all time)!? With five films under its belt, we've decided to choose the third entry in the saga as the absolute worst (though Breaking Dawn €“ Part 1, wasn't that far off). What can be said about this film that hasn€™t already been said? We have sparkly vampires, Bella narrates for nearly half the film as well as her sulking for months on end. The movie decides on a whim that Edward can appear as a mist to Bella to warn her of danger. Why did he never do this, until now? Why can€™t he do this on a regular basis? He could just show up whenever and have conversations about whatever teenage girls and hundred-year-old vampires talk about. Excruciatingly lazy storytelling, dreadful performances, limp direction and a core storyline that is both insipid and somewhat disturbing.
