When I went and saw this movie I was so excited I couldn't stop from smiling. I was thinking, "This is so friggin awesome!" then after I got my popcorn and soda all I could think was, "I know it won't be anything like the book, and that's a good thing... right?" Well man how I was wrong.
When I sat down in my seat in the darkening movie theater I looked around and saw that the theater was packed full of die hard Twilight fans, even some older couples that I was surprised to see. The movie started and I sat back for a wild ride, and when the credits rolled I was left with confusion and a little bit of disappointment...
The movie was nothing like the book, NOTHING! If you think that "Hey it couldn't have been that bad." then you would have been right, but it could have been a whole lot better.
Story - ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ The story is about a girl named Bella moving to live with her father in Forks Washington were the sun barely shines, and its always raining. In Forks Washington Bella meets a boy, named Edward Cullen and she falls in love... The only thing stopping her from making her move is that he's a vampire: your typical star-crossed lover story.
Acting - ☆ ☆ ☆ The acting was decent, not great, far from it actually, but decent. Really I was expecting more, but it just felt like throughout the movie the two main actors (Kristen & Rob) were falling over their own feet. I had seen Rob in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and I thought he did an excellent job, but as I watched Twilight I just saw a newbie actor who couldn't act all that well, or didn't really know what he was doing. Kristen on the other hand I had seen in Panic Room, Zathura, and Speak so I was expecting a lot more then what I got. She just seemed... untalented then her other films. She to seemed a newbie actress to my eyes. Other then that the acting was decent enough.
Effects/Visuals - ☆ ☆ The effects were, I guess you could say... expected. I know that they were trying to go for the effects to look great and different: oh they were different all right. Can you say cheap and cheesy? The makeup and wardrobe was nice and all, but the Cullens: YIKES! Sometime they looked a little to inhuman, even though they were. I mean their trying to fit in and your making them look like they don't belong at all, and I mean AT ALL...! When Edward walked into the sunlight I was nearly blinded by all the glittery makeup all over his skin: can you say overkill?
Direction - ☆ ☆ You know I expected more from this film then what I got. What I got was a bunch of mitch-match ideas, having nothing to do with the book what so ever, and I was left leaving the theater wondering if I wanted to watch it again one day...
I could ramble on and on about Twilight and how they took the book and made it into a movie- you know what you really can't compare the the book and the movie together, and that's because there two totally different things that had nothing in common what so ever, expect for the characters and the movies title.
I give Twilight ☆ ☆ ☆ out of ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
