Review from a SENIOR citizen

Rating: 8/10 (21 March 2009)

I just wonder how many other Seniors loved this like I did.
As I have stated in other reviews & comments I enjoy movies more, when they have nice people in them. I did not read Stephanie Meyer's novel. The screenplay was written by Melissa Rosenberg & Catherine Hardwick directed.I think they did a good job.
Twilight is a teen aged romance set in a small town. The teen & all the rest of the cast are real nice people, The villains are not overly nasty even.
The cast is mostly newcomers at least to me. Kirsten Stewart & Robert Pattinson are 2 teens, Robert just happens to be a vampire. These 'two 17 year 'olds' fall in love. They really are very sweet & do come across.
Billy Burke plays Emma's father & Peter Facinelli is the Vampire who created Robert many years back.
There is no real violence till the last few scenes,& the violence is slightly muted.
The film has a proper PG rating, it is a movie' for the entire family.
Eagerly waiting for the next film.
