Went in With Low Expectations, Came Out Extremely Happy

Rating: 9/10 (23 November 2008)

The reason I loved the Twilight movie was because I didn't expect it to be amazing, or just like the book. I quote the screenwriter of the movie, Melissa Rosenberg, "We're not making Twilight: the book, we're making Twilight: The Movie". Overall, I thought Robert Pattinson did an extremely awesome job at capturing such a complex character, Kristen Stewart was slightly weak in her performance (but sufficient), and the Cullens were near perfection on the screen. Catherine Hardwicke did the best she could with a smaller budget than most, and the writers managed to fit all of the right lines into the movie, even though they added some pretty cheesy ones as well. Favorite part: the Baseball scene. It was shot, played, and edited beautifully.
So, go see Twilight. Because they've already announced the production of New Moon, and it's pretty much guaranteed to be breath taking.
