A great movie that IS NOT just for teens

Rating: 10/10 (15 October 2009)

Right, I've read quite a few comments before I have decided to add mine. I watched the movie last night and OMG I really enjoyed it. Everything about it was great. I think the main leads were fantastic, supporting actors were well chosen and the main thing.... it made me feel like a 16-year-old girl again. Well, I am not 17 for a start. I am in my late twenties and maybe that's why I managed to enjoy it - I still remember what it's like to have a head full of dreams. Common' people, most of the sarcastic comments are really unnecessary and undeserved. It is a very touching and beautiful love story. It sounds like some people are giving negative reviews for the sake of being different, same people were shouting "Dull! Boring! No spark!" watching "Romeo and Juliet" back in the Shakespearian time. I've never read the book and I most definitely will do now: if the film was so great then I can only imagine what the book is going to be like! I didn't know until this morning that the film made such a fuss in America and it seems to be a common opinion that it is mainly because of sexy and vamp (!) Edward. Not so sure though it's out of question - he is VERY GOOD-LOOKING. Well, don't know how others feel but to me the secret of the success lies in the quality of the relationships between main characters. It is at least refreshing to see a male figure that IS NOT weak/self-obsessed/sex- obsessed/unintelligent. He is protective of his woman and it is the straightest way to a woman's heart. He is a gentleman and a good role model. I don't think this movie should be taken too seriously - it wasn't made to be compared to "Save Private Ryan". It is a great entertainment and I would recommend it to all my friends.
