This movie doesn't appeal as a Vampire movie or as a Romantic movie. I strongly believe someone with more experience should direct a high profile film like this. Over all the director tried too hard and lost it all. On the other hand Charlie Swan and Jacob were spot on. It looks someone dumped some glitter on him. The scene where Edward glitters is pathetic. Vampires are supposed to be scary, when Edward scales trees he acts like a monkey, move over Kong! The baseball match looks like Super Mario Sluggers on steroids! Horrible. Robert Pattinson deserves the Razzie, second thought, his acting is so horrible that a razzie is like honoring him. Ashley Greene looks good as Alice, Jackson Rathbone looks constipated as Jasper, a wooden plank would have been a more convincing Edward. The movie starts well, but once they introduce the Cullens its pretty much downhill. Though, maybe I take back the part of being disappointed in the screenwriter since you can only do so much with the source material you're handed.īRING ON THE TWILIGHT FANS! I CAN TAKE THEM! *Shields at maximum power!* I feel like Hardwicke was too focused on making the mise-en-scene beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, which is all well and good, but in doing so she over looked her cast of actors who would probably get over looked at a high school play audition with the way they displayed their acting abilities in this movie. Oh baby, I can hardly contain myself! I could go on and nit pick at everything, but I'm just going to wrap it up and say this movie was awful and I'm disappointed in the screenwriter as well as the director. My friend turned to me and commented "The sun hits him and he gets gross and sweaty?" because, let's face it, that's what he looked like. I didn't even notice the "sparkles" at first. However, I really thought they'd aim for something above spraying Robert Pattinson with water then dumping craft store glitter on him. Reading the scene in the book I already knew whoever turned the book into a film was going to have issues with the scene. He cannot go out into sunlight NOT because he'll burn or turn to dust, but because he turns into a failed children's art project. He want's to educate her in the ways of the vampire. Now, I have to point out the scene where Edward decides to flash Bella the goods. Text messages? I would think that informing your potential spouse of your child's well being would warrant a phone call at least. I was so shocked that she was really texting him that I turned to my friend and whispered "Bella's okay, L-O-L". Get the hint? What made me laugh the hardest was at the end of the movie when Bella's mother decides to inform Phil VIA TEXT MESSAGE that Bella is alright. Now, a toaster is a inanimate object and therefore cannot act. Alas, whoever decided to do casting for this film decided to cast every "actor" with the acting ability of a toaster. Now, the dialogue could have been over looked if the actors were able to deliver them. Especially the dialogue between Edward and Bella.
I found myself rolling my eyes, when I wasn't laughing, at every word out of the actor's mouth. Now this is where it gets tricky: Do we blame the screenwriter or the author? The movie made me realize just how corny the book's dialogue was. I was laughing at the awkward "acting" of the actors and the terrible dialogue. Sadly, I wasn't laughing at purposely funny moments. Well, I guess I was technically entertained since I laughed throughout most of the movie. I went into the theater with an open mind, not expecting brilliance, but expecting to be entertained. Twilight was a terrible film adaption of a, let's face it, mediocre novel. But he doesn't have fangs - that's just in the movies.
He can stop a moving car with his bare hands. In no time at all, they are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance - unorthodox because Edward really isn't like the other boys. He's intelligent and witty, and he seems to see straight into her soul. He's nothing like anyone she's ever met, period. For Edward is nothing like any boy she's ever met. But things do change when she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen. When her mother remarries and Bella chooses to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't expect much of anything to change. Never one to run with the crowd, Bella never cared about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix, Arizona high school. Twilight (2008) is considered one of the best Drama,Fantasy,Romance movie in India and around the world.īella Swan has always been a little bit different.
