This is a different genre than anything I've ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (5 March 2009)

I'm a guy, I'm giving Twilight score of 10/10 that I very rarely give movies, and let me explain why I'm doing so. Yes, I see it has very little in terms of plot, action sequences, or well-developed believable characters, or anything else of what makes most movies good.
It has something else instead - the kind of romance than 16yo girl wants. There's a bad boy (but not really bad) who falls in love with you so madly that he wants to be good for your sake, he desires you so much that he cannot even have sex with you and keep his sanity intact. He brings with him mystery and danger, and feels that protecting you is more important than his own life. Everything you might want when you are 16yo girl, except magnified 10x. This magnification is essential, because you the movie watcher are not really Bella, and to get protagonist's feelings into your mind across the movie screen they need to be exaggerated.
I see this romance and tension between characters done so artfully as I've never seen in any movie before. Of course it's not mature or anything like that - its target group is 16yo girls. If you aren't one, you must be willing to turn yourself into one while watching the movie, to think and most importantly to feel like one. If you can do so, you will agree with me that Twilight is a masterpiece. If you cannot, there's really little point in watching it.
