review from a late twenties fan

Rating: 5/10 (20 November 2009)

First of all let me tell you this...i saw Twilight just 2 months ago and became a really big fan afterwards (read all the books and saw all the Rpatz interviews on you tube) There were two reasons - Catherine Hardwicke and Robert Pattinson. I came back from the cinema few hours ago and what I can say is all the magic from the first Twilight movie I watched like 1000 times is gone, forgotten and spat at. The chemistry,intimacy and the teenage feel magic that you can relate too at whatever age is gone. What is left is Edward looking at least 10 years older than 17 (and I love Robert, but he really looked old), Bellas depression for me was not depressing enough. Bellas visions of Edward felt like a Mexican soap opera.
The Voulturi were great - too bad they didn't have mroe lines, and of course the best part for last - the wolves. I was totally in love with Edward, still am, but the wolves - they were just amazing....it's not the director however, whoever worked on the special effects's done a really really great work to say the least.
All I can say is that I really am looking forward to Eclipse...no director can do worse than this, really. BTW Catherine Hardwicke you and your lovely Nikki Reed...can't wait to see your next movies. Thank you for Twilight.
Summit - you suck for letting her go away.
