Average acting for the most part but some great performances from some others

Rating: 1/10 (28 July 2019)

Twilight is the answer to the question of how to bring pride and prejudice manners into a modern setting. The source material is Stephane Meyers book filled with Mormon rules and desperate attempts to thwart them. Edward is kinda pathetic in his one dimensional aspect, spending nearly a century learning music from the 1800's and every language on earth, never looking at a girl until the brown eyed and haired clueless and accident prone 'Bella' awkwardly arrives from Arizona like a Emo Kid lacking tattoos. Vampires are always portrayed as stuck in the past, wearing clothes from over a century ago, like your nana. But now they are boring. Rob Patterson was too stiff, and Stewart was too wooden, she seemed more dead and out of touch than the vampires.
Billy Burke did a great job as the dad and Gill Burmingham was awesome as the Indian dad who knows a truth that no one else will believe, I liked his impotent rage stares at the Cullens. The point of stories is the journey, there is no real change or journey here, just teen angst and the push and pull of Paterson's character as he plays with the pretty fire that is so bad for him. Cam Gigandet is decent as the villain and Rachelle Lefevre was good as well, her performance in other movies and tv shows has been very good. But, Seriously Edward couldn't go to school in the next town?
Watch on Netflix don't bother buying this sad excuse of teen romance meets supernatural with a PG rating it's not worth it. Girls may love the self involved overanalysing dialogue, but you can get that in spades on any other rom-com, apart from the baseball game this is a big toilet deposit.
