FOR ANYONE WHO WONDERED WHAT I THOUGHT OF THE TWILIGHT MOVIE.

I purposefully left a review of the twilight movie off this blog because I already have a separate blog for movies with my sister. BUT since I talk about twilight quite often on this blog (and i'm not done yet. I still have thoughts on the rest of the saga once i'm finished reading breaking dawn) I figured I'd let the people that don't know about the other blog know what I thought.


"When I went to see Twilight on it opening night, I was fully prepared to ignore the harsh reviews I’d read beforehand. Now that I’ve seen it I still think the reviews were too harsh but they were right in some aspects.

First I read that Robert Pattinson’s performance was mediocre. I disagree (and I swear this isn’t just me being biased because I think he’s hot). Because I’d seen a dozen Robert Pattinson interviews about the movie I was aware he was going to play Edward a bit darker and more angsty than he was portrayed in the book so I wasn’t shocked to see it on screen at all. Furthermore I’m not upset he strayed from the book because what he says, does make sense. Edward is a killer only because it’s in his vampire nature but he doesn’t want to be at all. Plus, he’s in love with a girl who he also has strong urges to kill because her blood smells extremely enticing to him. He describes it as putting a recovering alcoholic in a room filled with the finest smelling wine. When faced with such a situation one is bound to experience some inner turmoil to say the very least so it makes sense to play an irritable, angsty Edward. Pattinson does that quite well. I’m also very impressed with his American accent and I’m even more impressed that he did it without any training. Very nice...."
