Not as good as the book, but definitely a must-see!!!

Rating: 8/10 (21 November 2008)

I just saw Twilight last night and I have to say...I loved it! From the trailers that I had seen leading up to the movie, I was expecting a very poorly done film that was very loosely based on the book and, frankly, poor acting. But I was pleasantly surprised to discover that they stayed true to the novel - some of the script was direct dialog of the book. I also loved the humour throughout that made the movie that much more interesting. I thought almost all of the characters were portrayed exactly as I pictured them. The Cullens looked better than I thought they would, Victoria, James and Laurent were so amazing, the school cast was awesome too (Mike Newton was my favourite!), Charlie, Billy, Jacob Black (he's just like I pictured him) were all great and Kristen Stewart makes a good Bella. I must admit I am not a Robert Pattinson fan at all, so it was a little bit difficult to like him as Edward...some of his scenes were a little cheesy and poorly acted. But, I guess it is hard to portray a vampire without looking to dramatic anyway, lol. Overall, I thought it was a great movie and I think any Twilight fan would enjoy it! The acting of the whole cast overall was really good, in my opinion, and it was entertaining from the first minute to the credits. (Of course, it makes it so much more exciting when you're watching it with 300 screaming teenage Twilight fans!!)
