When the next one?

Rating: 9/10 (24 February 2009)

This movie is good ! I really like it; the fact that finally people make vampire movies were (some) vampires are good. This,the True Blood HBO series and of course Queen of the Damned.
The story isn't bad at all, a love story between a vampire and a human girl, the slight rejection and the huge attraction between them, the love and the retain from killing.
I haven't read the book and even though the movie plays for 2 hours, I do believe it must be longer. Or maybe everything happens to fast. From the "Hello, my name is Eduard" to the " You are my life now" is like 3 weeks (because prom was in a month at the start of the movie). But who knows, life can be different as a vampire in love.
I really enjoyed the fact that there aren't any huge and fantasy-like special effects. It makes everything look real, believable. People are not exaggerated, there aren't any spoiled brats mean girls, there are good people, normal people.
You don't see vampires really killing in this movie, there is a scene but it's subtle. Interesting fact really, because you never see fangs and the bite on Bella's hand is like a normal human bite. There is action in the movie,pretty good one really, but not to much, because it is focused on the connection between the two main characters.
I liked the fact that there is no sex scene in the movie, no major kissing, and still the love and passion between the two main characters can be seen really good. It's so subtle and yet so obvious. I believe this because in every movie made these days, that involves love, sex is everywhere, after the first date, at the first kiss, it happens so fast, no wonder kids these days loose them self's so early.
Yes, the movie was a cliché, but let's face it, how many movies have you watched lately that wasn't.
But I do hope that the vampire character won't be changed anymore in future movies, like it was changed in this one. Vampires walking on daylight is kinda enough, because it will ruin every fact about them with which we were raised with.
I will say it again: I LOVE the fact that I can see a vampire movie, where some vampires aren't on the bad side. For the watchers that enjoy vampire story's and are fascinated by this, it's a good feeling to watch this movie.
It isn't extraordinary, it isn't super good, but it's worth it, every 122 minutes of it.
