I know I’m a year late on this review, it’s sort of pathetic. Truth is, I had no desire to watch Twilight, even though I’m a huge fan of the Vampire genre. However, with ‘New Moon’ coming out shortly, and me getting an opportunity to see the film early, I obviously had to see what the background was, and what exactly was going on in this Twilight saga. Check out our coverage of the Twilight Movie if you missed it earlier.
The Twilight Movie
I can’t tell you enough how pleasantly surprised I was, with the Twilight movie. Call me a little bitch if you have to, I don’t mind, but the characters of Bella and Edward totally sucked me in. I’m hooked. I absolutely enjoyed the dramatic love details the characters delivered, not to mention how greatly they nailed the entire uncomfortable High School scene.
Kristen Stewart, and Robert Pattinson had incredible chemistry for such young actors in big roles. Twilight throws another side of Vampires at us, and lets us feel a bit of what Bella also feels in the film. Go ahead, tell me I’m a little bitch one more time, I still deserve it.
I know the film was aimed more at the late teens, but it really was great for us older folks as well, especially us bitches. Following the story of Bella and Edward was a terrific journey, especially when Edward feels the needs to protect his true love.
The Action
Solid, but it gets better in New Moon. Twilight had enough action to keep me happy, because I know the next film will deliver much more.
The Effects
Pretty decent, loved the scenes of Edward and Bella zipping up trees and up the mountains. The final battle was pretty good as well, nice effects indeed.
What’s good about Twilight?
The love angle, mixed in with a solid explanation of the vampire background. The story is told so that even those of us new to the series can figure it out pretty quickly, even us bitches.
What’s bad about it?
Nothing, I can’t pick on the film at all.
You’ll Like It If
If you loved the novel, and love vampire movies, Twilight is for you.
The Verdict
Twilight was one of the better movies of 2008, I’m sorry I waited so damn long to watch it. I can’t wait for New Moon.
