Better than I expected!!!

Rating: 8/10 (23 November 2008)

So, I went into Twilight expecting another Harry Potter movie, a horrifying representation of an amazing book. However, I was so wrong!!! The characters were played very well, they matched their parts physically and emotionally. Kristin Stewart and Robert Pattison worked very well together, although sometimes they were awkward and over-dramatic, for the most part they were spot on. Kristin's hospital scene almost made me cry. The Cullen clan was SPOT ON!! Bella's first encounter with them is so funny and so real. Carlisle seemed like a protective father, Esme a protective mother, Rosalie a bitch, Emmett strong and intense, Alice graceful and bouncy, and Jasper in pain. The visuals were sometimes dumb, like with Edward running and his glowing skin in the sun could have been better but overall they were good, especially in the fight scene. Finally,the end was perfect and sets up the next movie so well! I'm expecting great things to come!
