Nowhere near as bad as the rating suggests

Rating: 7/10 (21 August 2011)

I had never had any inclination to watch this film, however it was on TV and with nothing else to do I thought i'd give it a go. I wasn't expecting to like it but found myself getting involved in the story. The acting was so so but there was a certain chemistry between Pattinson and the beautiful Kristin Stewart. It is clearly aimed at the girl market but what's so wrong about that. I see that it has a poor IMDb rating but this is based purely on blokes voting it a 1 without seeing it, a clear case of voting snobbery. The film was entertaining throughout and well worth a view, as long as you are prepared to suspend belief and enjoy something for what it is rather than how cool you think it is to dislike it. I for one will be watching the sequels.
