Twilight Review
It took me six days to finish the four books in the Twilight saga. I didn’t go out, I barely slept. I went to work, came home and read until my eyes denied my efforts to stay awake. Instantly I feel in love with the concept of Edward and Bella. An immortal falling in love with a mortal and vice versa.
Stephenie Meyer recreated the image of vampires to the young generation. And I was thrilled to see it come alive (so to speak) on the big screen.
My first reaction was ultimate thrill. I got to see the Edward Cullen, the most beautiful being in existence judging from the book, in real life.
From the beginning of the movie, I already knew that the books were always going to be better than the movie. Movies can not grasp what the imagination can create perfectly. We all have our own conceptions of how it should look so naturally there will always be disappointment.
I must say that the movie was decent. It had the main points of the book and it cut away what was not most important to the main plot. The acting was adequate but there is most definitely room for improvement.
I want to link to the Harry Potter films. The first movie, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, was the weakest in acting out of all the movies thus far. But as the saga continued, the Harry Potter actors and actresses grew more accustomed to their roles, therefor improving the movie. I think the same will happen to Breaking Dawn, the next movie in the vampire saga.
I left the theatre with a smile. I got to see an extremely hot Edward (his family was not half bad either). I got to see a new age of vampire and a new slew of actors and actresses make their debuts on the screen.
I can’t wait to see the next movie and how the acting and screen directing improves.
