Twilight Review NO SPOILERS

Rating: Null/10 (21 November 2008)

I don't know why so many people are disappointed with the film. I saw the midnight premiere last night...and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I am a fan of the series, I've read Twilight more than once...and I honestly loved every second of the movie. I understand a lot of people feel like the movie did not do the book justice, but come on people...the writers had to condense a long novel into a 2 hour film. I personally think they did an excellent job.
Sure, there were some quotes from the book that I wish were said in the movie...but other than that, I have no huge complaints. I thought there was just enough romance, intense but playful like it is in the book. And there was a lot of comic relief that brought the serious subject of forbidden love down a few notches.
The acting was by no means Oscar-worthy...but it wasn't unwatchable either. Robert Pattinson was unfailingly charming and beautiful....and I thought Kristen pulled off a clumsy, shy Bella well. I loved it. I plan on seeing it again. And I hope that New Moon and Eclipse are made in the near future. I would give the film 7 or 8 out of 10. Don't believe anything you hear until you see it for yourself. I wasn't disappointed, and I hope all of you aren't either.
