When I first heard about this movie, to be honest, the idea sounded kind of cool, it's a love story but with vampires, now I've seen a lot of vampire movies in my day but none like this especially one rated 12A, but the age doesn't matter to much as I'll explain.
The story is simply about a girly named Bella who goes to stay with her father while her mother and new husband go traveling, and while there she meets a somewhat strange boy with super strength, speed and agility, only later does she descover that he is a vampire. Many people may class him as vegetarian, now just to say in this case it means he drinks the blood of animals rather than humans, much like Angel from Buffy the vampire slayer. so to be honest the plot for me was pretty cool and it was a cool take on the love story idea.
How were the actors and actresses you might ask? Well to be honest, they all did a pretty good job delivering some beleivable perfomances with some rather casual diologue, some of the diaologue in some places was a bit monotinous but appart from that it was pretty cool.
In some secenes you might begin to think that you watching an extened music video, as there are many scenes that are just taken over by music and montages of shots of the girl and the vampire Edward. A good example of this would be the scene wher we see edward playing the piano and rather than it just being casual, it's more like a music video.
This movie rather than being hell of violent like other vampire movies you may have scene, it focuses more on the story, now there might be some assholes out there that will think that this is a bad thing but it is actually a good thing as rather than focusing too much on violence, they focused on the more important things, like the story.
There are also some pointless scenes, the best example of this would be the scene when Bella and Edward and his family are playing baseball, now all this scene is, is them playing baseball with music and a bunch of slow motion shot and fog, it was kind of pointless, but not dumb like some people might put it.
So overall Twilight wasn't too bad, it's enjoyable and will satisfy many crowds, movie buff, vampire fans, and love story fans, for me it satisfied all ranges but only to a certain extent.
