As an unabashed lover of all things teen melodrama you know I had to watch Twilight. Hell, I read the book. Generally, if you read the book first then you’re let down by the movie. That wasn’t the case here. This was more a companion that flushes out the book. The characters and scenery were extremely well done and true to the book. Kristen Stewart it an extremely talented actress. Her talents aren’t really on display given it’s a pretty simple role. As for Pattinson as a straight male I don’t think he’s good-looking enough to play Edward. The book describes him as the best looking man alive. I guess because every teenage girl thinks their crush is the hottest thing alive I’ll let it go. I really think Hardwicke did a great job bringing the fantasy aspects to the screen given the budget constraints. I’ll be honest I’m not looking forward to the sequel. The Director is not involved and the source material is crap. So, check this one out and treat it as a stand alone.
