Worth While.. For Sure

Rating: 5/10 (6 December 2008)

I'm a HUGE fan of the Twilight books. I've picked them apart so much I know them like the back of my hand and when I was going to see the movie, I knew that it would not be very good in relation to the book, but I was surprised at how well it was put together! First, I would like to say that the casting was EXCELLENT, perfect, in my opinion. Kristen keeps us in love with Bella but still makes us feel like we are experiencing it from her side (just like the books, for those who haven't read it). And Rob Pattinson is my perfect choice for Edward, and I have to say Congrats on being able to pull of an American accent with little training.
The writing was great as well, satisfying us Twilighters as well as keeping other non-fans interested and up with the story. There were a few little goofy quips from characters that relieved sexual and awkward tension but wouldn't ruin the moment. Also, watch for Stephanie Meyer's cameo. :) Also, the cinematography was stunning! Absolutely amazing, and is one of the reasons why I chose to see the movie again.
I'm one of those people who like to read the "goofs" here on IMDb, and as I was reading the ones for Twilight, yes, there were a few noticeable scenes in the movie that I could agree with but you really wouldn't notice them too much if you are not looking for them.
If you haven't read the book, don't fret because this movie still makes sense without reading it. I've had a few people come ask me if they should read the book then see the movie, and I said no, see the movie first or you're going to be like me on opening day and waiting to see specific parts of the book placed in the movie.
OK, back to the movie. To make a long story even longer, Twilight is definitely worth watching, young or old, girl or boy. It's worth the ticket and popcorn price at the theaters
