Twilight - The Movie Review

I have been hearing all the buzz about Twilight, both the movie and the book and decided I needed to check this out for myself.  I have not read the book, so I feel that my review of the movie is completely unbiased.

My local drive-in movie theater was playing Twilight and Four Christmases so I thought now would be a good time to see two movies that I had been wanting to see for the price of one.

I have to say that I am both pleased and disappointed by the movie Twilight.  I am pleased because it is an excellent storyline.  The love story that the movie focuses on is a very sweet, protective and generous love story that keeps you rooting for them throughout the film.  I was disappointed in the movie because of the unrealistic action scenes and teenagerish feel to the movie.  I know the movie itself is unrealistic since it is about vampires, but the action scenes were just too much for me.  Since the characters were mostly all in high school, that contributed to the "young" feel of the movie.

I do have to say that one of the main characters "Edward Cullen" is extremely handsome and I couldn't keep my married eyes off of him for the entire length of the film.  I didn't care for the person they cast for the character "Bella".  I don't know why, I just feel that she wasn't a very good fit for the role.  She was boring and not worthy of the wonderful Edward Cullen.  I suppose their love story is even better because she is not pretty, he loves her for who she is.

The Scoop!

Even though the movie was kind of cheesy at times, it has a very good storyline.  I am looking forward to the movie's sequel and I plan on reading the book series too.  I have also reviewed the Twilight Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.
