Twilight comes to life...

Rating: 9/10 (28 November 2008)

I'll admit that when I first heard about the movie, I was sceptical. How could they make something that was so wonderful on so many levels into a two hour long movie?
But then I saw the trailers, and (in the words of Mr Darcy, whom Stephenie Meyer cites as one of her influences for Edward) they 'caused me to hope as I'd scarce dared hope before.' For me, within the first few seconds Kristen Stewart had stopped being Kristen Stewart. She had unconditionally and irrevocably become Isabella Swan - dreamer, loner.
The incredibly talented cast brought the book to life in ways I'd never expected. Additions to the script simply added to the overall vibe of brilliance that Twilight simply has.
And for all those who are freaking out because the movie doesn't follow the book to the letter - do you really want to sit there and watch three hours of Bella lying in bed being emo over Edward? Thought not.
