Fueled by believable acting and intense chemistry... Twilight was sizzling!

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2008)

I've heard a few negative reviews about Twilight and it is understandable. I can see that it probably wasn't everyones cup of tea or the fans were disappointed that some material was left out. Honestly, I thought it was spot on and very enjoyable.
I've been a fan of Twilight for over two years now, I've read Twilight front to back about ten times... maybe more. I'm a huge fan-- but I'm also logical. I know that it was impossible to fit a 500 page book into a 2 hour movie, without boring the general audience. I felt that Twilight (The movie) flowed very well and kept the viewer interested. Even if they hated it! Catherine and Melissa kept the most important things from the book in. Albeit, they weren't in the right order, but honestly having an hour of pure conversation between Edward and Bella, and then Edward saving Bella over and over again. Would have been repetitive and boring! For a book to movie adaption, Twilight was pretty amazing.
On to the acting! First of all- my God Robert Pattinson! He stole the show for me. Not only was he impossibly good looking but he had all the right movements, eye contact, facial expression and line delivery. He completely left me dazzled! One problem, was definitely some of the dialogue... which of course was not Rob's fault. I felt that he did a stand up job with the material he was given.
Kristen- surprised me most of all, I went in the first time totally expected to be disappointed by her acting, because I've seen some of her previous movies that were horrible! But she really pulled it off. I hate when people say, she had no emotion or facial expression! If you watch it again- you'll notice how she totally connects with her eyes.
The chemistry is what fueled this film, they were absolutely amazing. I sincerely believed that they were in love. People say that their love was too rushed. But first love is always rushed- you can know you love someone right off the get go. Besides, Bella and Edward(if you've read Midnight Sun) were basically in love with each other from the start.
I personally didn't have a problem with the special effects, because for one I know they didn't have much of a budget. And two: Twilight isn't about the effects, it's about love! :)
The whole entire cast was great and perfect for each of their roles.
10/10!
Cannot wait till New Moon!!
