Read The Book

Rating: 6/10 (6 December 2013)

This movie and all of the movies after it is like a gigantic slide show. There are no real details to care about unless you read the books. All of the things that are talked about about this movie, such as overly popular Bella, a 100 year old virgin, a cheesy teen romance...The book is in the point of view of a young teenage girl that discovers that her world is crawling with the creatures and legends that no one thought existed. Twilight the book is excellent because of its syntax, diction, and allusion. (A person would not appreciate this book if they hate lovey dovey romances, teenage moods, and vampires that are into talking not biting or if they are male) Knowing the story, this movie is a very bad interpretation. This movie translated a smart, responsible, and an often selfish girl into a mindless emo chick. The vampires are fairy like and look just fail in the movie. (I mean why would you make a supposedly terrifying male vampire sparkle and make sparkle noises!) The book makes Edward very alluring and he actually resembles a Greek statue. It may sound far fetched, but the vampires in the books were a lot more terrifying than the ones in the movies. To put this in another way: Twilight the book is like a tub of ice cream and the movie is like one single dippin dot.
