Not excellent, but it is well-spent time, 1 February 2009
6/10
Author: (da_zeon) from Bulgaria

OK, so from what I know about this movie, people either love it or hate it. The truth, of course, is somewhere in-between. While the movie is not perfect, it is very good fun and delivers as long as you don't expect a masterpiece. So don't raise the bar of your expectations too high - this is NOT going to be an Oscar winning masterpiece and it is NOT going to enter the IMDb Top 250.

The story is simple - Bella Swan is a common girl which falls in love with the vampire Edward Cullen. Cullen's family are "vegetarians" - they drink only animal blood and do not attack humans. Then, however, are the "classic" vampires that would not hesitate to do it, and Edward protects Bella from them.

I guess those who hate the movie do not know what a bad movie really is. You can call a movie bad when you regret that you watched it and when you feel that you have lost two hours without any good reason. "Twilight" is not that kind of movie. It has a sense of direction and it is not just "flowing around" like other movies. Acting is pretty decent. Although I thought Kristen Stewart was an awful actress, Robert Pattinson (Ed Cullen) and Cam Gigandet (James, the villain vampire) excel in their roles. Although the story is not one of the most original ones, it does not bore people and if you have nothing to do, I would recommend seeing "Twilight".

Oh, and by the way, for all the girls who adore "Twilight", I guess I get them. After all, Ed Cullen is good-looking, super-strong, super-fast, sensitive, who wouldn't like him?
