Twilight is Indeed Meant for Teens

I only read a movie review of Twilight a few weeks ago and it didn’t really say that it’s an awesome movie. Not that i base my movie watching on film reviews but actually I didn’t really plan on watching the film because i never liked Robert Pattinson. For some reason, even if he plays Edward Cullen, the male lead actor in the Twilight movie, i still don’t like him.

Well anyway just because most people seemed to have enjoyed the movie and said it’s a great film i finally went to watch it last night. I didn’t have any idea other than what Wikipedia and the review i read said. I went in due to my curiosity with no expectations whatsoever.

The film opens with Bella’s mom being remarried so she had to move in with her dad while the newlyweds went somewhere. Her father lives in Forks. After she moves in with him the real story begins.

As the film went on in the movie theater i finally came to realize that it’s more of a teen movie than a blockbuster movie. Halfway through the movie i began to get bored, some parts made me a bit “fluttery” but still it bored me. I was looking for something more i but i didn’t know what.

Bella, played by Kristen Stewart, did a fair job at acting. I also love her red lips. And I also love Edward’s red lips, beautiful sunlit skin and gold tinged eyes. I love how they fall in love for no reason at all except their unexplainable attraction towards each other. Other than that it’s all just a visual treat for me. The story failed to entertain me but the visuals are really awesome, except for some funny vampire stunts.

I guess because i am not a fan of the book series that the film failed to really entertain me. Or maybe because i’m not into vampire themes that much that it failed to draw me into the story. Even if i did enjoy Anne Rice’s Lestat book series (or it’s only star studded movie adaptation) i’m still not interested in human bloodsuckers. I guess this film just made me realize that i am not that interested in vampires at all.

If you’re a couple or a teen and into fantasy love stories then i guess you will enjoy this movie. It’s got enough sweetness and longing going on to make teenagers fall in love for both of them. It’s got some action and fast cars too so at least the guys will probably have something to enjoy.

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, my overall rating for this movie is a 6.
