Better than I thought but not great.

Rating: 5/10 (29 August 2016)

I remember the hype around The Twilight saga back in the days when I went to school and everything the girls talked about were these movies. After a short summary from one of my friends I soon made up my mind that this wasn't something for me, and I left it alone.
it's 2016 now, and I stumbled upon the 4 movies on a streaming service I subscribe to, thinking; "It's the middle of the night and I'm bored" so I gave it a chance, and it var OK. Nothing more nothing less. I figured that since I didn't have anything better to do I could see what all the hype had been about.
The story is pretty straight forward. Girl moves away, girl meets boy, boy is a vampire. That's it. At least in the first movie. The story escalates allot throughout the movies and several conflicts appear.
As for the actors; It all pretty much starts out as a typical late-teen movie, with mostly young protagonists. Robert Pattison and Kristen Steward (Taylor Lautner as well) has gotten allot of mocking for doing these movies and somehow I kinda agree but disagree at the same time. They did alright, but nothing worth an Oscar either. It seems to me that the actors grew allot while filming the movies and I look forward to seeing some of them in other, more mature movies. Steward especially.
All in all the movies were OK, I won't likely watch them again, but I wouldn't kill myself either If I was to watch them in the company of others.
I'd give the saga as a whole a 5.5.
