Fantastic, Accurate, Epic, Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (21 November 2008)

I went into this movie with pretty low expectations. I mean, I was excited about it obviously, but the movie previews and the usage of Kristen Stewart as Bella had me on edge. I thought she was going to be too pretty for the part.
But I didn't have to fear. Within the first few minutes of the film, I was in love with Kristen Stewart's portrayal as Bella.
And don't even get me started with Robert as Edward... mmmmmm I am a huge Harry Potter fan, and I am a huge fan of the movies. Yet, I always leave the movie with some disappointment. I always say to myself, "Wow, I wish they would have included this small detail that is actually significant to the story." However, with Twilight, I felt like they did a fantastic job of paying attention to small details that I think all Twilight readers can appreciate: Edward's (and all of the Cullen's) golden eyes, the preexisting tension between the Black and Cullen families, including the lullaby, the WHOLE baseball scene, Alice's quirikiness, the dreamy "Dr. Cullen", etc. Too much to mention.
I don't know, I feel like I have seen a lot of responses regarding the inaccuracy of this movie, but I strongly suggest otherwise. You will appreciate the attention to small detail that really makes this movie what it is.
