Cozy and comforting

Rating: 8/10 (3 December 2012)

I can imagine a lot of people discarding the Twilight movie series as teenage werewolf crap. Indeed, one needs to be strong to swallow wish-wash like "Oh no, he has just imprinted on my baby!". It is also unwise to try to find implausibilities such as how it is possible that plain humans don't know about the vampire's existence. But if you can look past the vampire and werewolf bullshit, you will find a truly great movie. Because apart from these complaints, all other aspects are simply marvelous: great acting, beautiful visuals, nice special effects and some exciting action scenes. And what really sets Twilight apart from other beautiful movies are the cozy one-big-happy-family feeling and the comforting we're-on-top-of-the-world atmosphere, amplified by the great soundtrack and the beautiful woody environment. I wish more movies would breathe so much happiness, friendship and warmth.
True: as this is the fifth part in the series it is more of the same, but it is very well done all the same. I feel like the series grew on me. Maybe it is because the makers have fine-tuned their work, or maybe it is just that I became immune to the vampire nonsense. Nonetheless I think this was the best part in the series and I would recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone.
