Average movie with a dark shade

Rating: 6/10 (7 December 2008)

Well guys, this is going to be my first movie review so it will be a bit rusty, bear with me. Just now I came home after watching "Twilight", supposedly a 'vampire' love story. Well I can't see I am very much impressed, I have seen much better vampire movies (did I tell you that I am a fan of "good" vampire movies?). But this one was not total disaster as well, the director was in fact creative at times. Frankly speaking I didn't expect it to be that much 'dark'. And its the dark shade in it that impressed me. The location, the acting, the silence, the weather, almost everything; the director surely wanted to throw some gloomy stuff and let me tell ya, she (I guess I am right) is successful in that. But the storyline and script, sorry to say, wish were as impressive. Kristen as Bella Swan acted as the perfect and helpless damsel-in-distress, but at times she acted too much 'helpless', as if she didn't have a clue what's happening. The others were so-so. I didn't understand the reason behind bringing the character played by Cam Gigandet (that guy played a powerful character as Kevin Volchok in the ever popular show "O.C"). I mean why suddenly he will be after Isabella's life like crazy is still unclear to me (I mean there are so many more "bella's" around to feast upon, right?)!! Anyways overall its an average movie but a couple of points for the dark shade, I really enjoyed that part.
