A Decent adaption if not great

Rating: 8/10 (3 July 2010)

We all have grown up listening to vampire stories that how they only come at night and they live in coffins during daytime and the best way to keep them away is wearing a cross.So it became a tradition to depict vampires as blood thirsty an evil so when i heard from my book guy that a new book has come out it is a love story between a girl and a vampire i was surprised and wanted to try the book once just out of curiosity.\ Back at my place with this book i was simply hooked and finished the book in not my normal time and loved the book at the same time as the book did try to break many of the recorded traditions of the vampire world the concept of vegetarian vampires and superhuman powers was quite riveting.
Cut to a few months after the book came out summit entertainment came out with the movie version.Though not better than the book the movie is tightly shot and packaged.But undoubtedly the best thing is the background music which is haunting even after the movie is finished.All the book adaptations always suffer from the length of the book as compared to the length of the movie so mostly many parts of the book are edited to suite the running time of the movie.The direction is nice as the story mainly focuses on the relationship between the two main characters.Robert Pattinson portrays the dreamy eyed hero of the tale and Kirsten Stewart plays the "human".
All in All Twilight does make a good weekend watch and if you are really into the book adaptations do watch this for a original take on the vampire saga
