Not as bad as people say

Rating: 7/10 (26 November 2019)

Admittedly Twilight does have several key flaws however I do think the criticism towards this film and the franchise as a whole is somewhat unjust. This film has a relatively decent plot and I enjoyed the portrayal of the majority of the characters, most notably the Cullen family excluding Edward. The baseball scene is probably the stand out for me in terms of enjoyment, I thought they applied the families powers well and it was nice to have a more humorous scene that contrasted the traditional 'intense' vibe Bella and Edward usually convey.
The main flaws with this film in my opinion are actually the two lead characters, the relationship between Edward and Bella seems very forced and unconformable at times; this does however lead to several instances of unintentionally funny dialogue such as 'I like watching you sleep'. The CGI used in this film is also below par, with the most obvious example being in the forest when Edward jumps and runs with Bella on his back.
However saying that I do thoroughly enjoy several characters and the main plot and villain are also moderately successful. Therefore despite some of the flaws (some of which enhance the experience to an extent) I still believe that Twilight deserves a 7/10.
