really very sweet

Rating: 8/10 (3 January 2009)

well, before watching Twilight, I had never read the books, so when I saw the movie I really enjoyed it. Although I wasn't and am probably still not entirely crazy about Kristin Stewart as Bella, I thought the film was really entertaining, and it had me leaving the theater wanting more. After seeing the movie, I decided to read the books, and I liked those even more. (not surprising, books are always better) so if you have read the books, a piece of advice...don't go watching the movie expecting that it will measure up to the books. I wouldn't try comparing, because when it comes down to it, there is no comparison. The books and the movie are just two very different, but also very good pieces of work. I think Robert Pattinson did a really great job bringing the character to screen, he's definitely got that "something" that makes you want to watch him. Again, I wasn't crazy about Kristin Stewart, in my opinion, she began to get a bit boring and dull as Bella, I just wasn't really "sold" but of course, it's only my opinion.
all in all I give the movie an 8 out of 10, if you're going in hoping to see an exact or near exact portrayal of the book, you might not enjoy the movie, but if you're just looking to watch a nice love story, this is a great choice.
