Twilight Review

Just recently, I found myself watching the controversial movie, TWILIGHT. It was past midnight when suddenly I had the urge of watching it. I finished watching then by 2:30 am.


Indeed, it is a nice movie and I'm impressed with the story. My girl friends are so in to Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series and they keep on talking about this. The fever became extravagant when the movie was about to be released until now. Actually, I understand why others seem to be disappointed. It's because they have read the book and they have expected too much. Unlike me who don't have time and interest to read those four books, I appreciate the movie. I really don't care about the production issue. I focused more on the story and the execution of scenes. The story is nice and interesting while the scene executions are fine. I guess I don't have high standards when I watch a movie. As long as it's not screwing my time and I'm entertained, that would be fine.At first, I was a bit bored because of the so-many-talking scenes yet I still paid attention to those. I should say I'm impressed with the characters of the story. I find them unique and interesting. They are not that exaggerated nor too dry. I like the characters of Alice and Jasper. They're so weird. I'm somehow curious why the Cullen siblings are matched with each other. On the other hand, the tandem of Edward and Bella is nice. I understand the story revolves around them. I won't forget the lines "I don't have the strength to stay away from you anymore." and "And so the lion fell in love with the lamb." Those lines are two of the turning points of the movie. Then I like the flying and fighting scenes especially the baseball scene. Wow! I didn't realized that vampires can soar that high. They can be baseball superstars if they really exist! Rosalie who I find as a "semi-villain" really upsets me. I thought she would be really beautiful but Victoria stole that feature from her. Among the characters, I find Victoria the most beautiful. Jacob Black is a werewolf right? If he will play a significant role in the series, then I suggest the production should find another Jacob Black! heheh. One thing, if I'm not mistaken, I saw Stephenie Meyer on one of the scenes at the resto I guess. What is that? A special appearance? heheh. I also want to give my compliments to the setting. NICE CHOICE huh!

Overall, I like the story and I'll be looking forward for the next movie of the series, NEW MOON.
