Not your typical teenage love story....

Rating: 10/10 (31 December 2008)

I didn't know what Twilight was about when I first saw the previews for it. I honestly thought it was just another romantic movie. There was just so much talk about it, I saw it EVERYWHERE: posters, the books, trailers, ads, and merchandise.
I finally gave in and decided to go see it with my sister. By the time the movie was over, I came out a fan. Now, I'm completely obsessed with it. I was truly surprised.
Many people say the graphics or make up or whatever else could have been better, but under the circumstances of only having about $30 million to go off of is not bad. It could have never been made at all. This movie is mainly about love, its not an action movie so who cares if the main fight scene wasn't as good as some people wanted.
While watching the movie the actors displayed emotions that many of us have experienced. Many of us can relate. The actors came through in that, it's as though they truly felt that way.
It seems as though in this generation, any teen movie or even any movie anymore has some sort of unnecessary "love" scenes of any type. Like they have to have a kiss that is 'out of control', or the girls wear skimpy out-fits and 'rub' on a guy, or scenes that imply them going to or having sex. There is always a love interest even though it's the smallest bit of detail in the story.
What I like about the movie Twilight is it's so deep, yet it's clean. The girls dress like typical girls in high school, having crushes, and going on dates. There isn't extra scenes with other couples making out in the background or the Cullens wearing skimpy outfits to imply visually that they are extremely beautiful.
I know that later on in Breaking Dawn, there is (sex), but it's not like it was just put in because it would draw an audience. It just went with the story and how Stephanie Meyer wrote it.
I absolutely love the movie, it's definitely top on my list.
