Amazing chemistry between the leads

Rating: 8/10 (14 March 2009)

I went to a sneak preview of this movie together with my boyfriend a little while ago. He was kind of disappointed, but I enjoyed every minute. I hadn't read the book, so I had nothing to compare the movie to nor any expectations whatsoever. I admit the movie is slow, but this allows you to pay attention to the slightest detail and I just love the chemistry between Edward and Bella. Their eye contact, their breathing, their body language... Simply amazing. I can only compare it to Before Sunset/Before Sunrise. Don't forget it is a teen movie, though. If you expect action, blood thirst and broken bones, this is just not for you. However, seeing the relationship between Edward and Bella evolve does leave a sense of fulfillment. When I went home after the movie, the first thing to do was to buy all 4 books and read them. I wanted to know what happened next. No doubt you would do the same thing too. I wholeheartedly recommend Twilight.
