Twilight Review
Okay, so Twilight. A movie about romance, vampires, and it also involves some action. A movie for everyone. But it seems like it's mostly aimed at teenagers/young adults. Well, actually, that's because it (mostly)is, but still. I read the books(Twilight-Eclipse(Breaking Dawn came out about 3 months before Twilight had hit the cinemas)), about a year before the Twilight movie had come out. Hoping that the movie was going to live up to what I had pictured in my mind, I went to the see it the day it came out, with a couple of friends from school, after we'd been into town. I have to say, it was a good movie to watch. I know alot of people had been saying, before the movie, that RPattz wouldn't be a good Edward, so I was wondering how well he would portray him. But after seeing the movie, I know that they had made an excellent choice. Actually, the people behind the whole movie, did an amazing job on picking the characters, as they definitely all did a wonderful job. I think the detail had been captured perfectly, and the ballet studio scene, the apple scene, and the baseball scene, are just three of my favourite, yes, you guessed it, scenes.
After i'd seen Twilight, a couple of months later, my head of year, arranged to take the year i'm in to see it. Now being a Twilighter, and having many friends who are fans, we all clapped and wooped. Then sat quietly, and watched the film(as you do), and much to my surprise, and others, for that matter, people behind us, and in front, had fallen asleep! It was mostly boys that did, but i was still shocked. Now, because I hadn't seen the film for a couple of months(4, to be precise), I decided to focus more on the detail. As mentioned earlier, the apple scene really caught my eye, as i thought it was very skillful. Also, the ballet studio scene, also mentioned earlier, had parts that i hadn't noticed before, like the part where Edward is sucking the venom out of Bella, RPattz's song is playing, and also, in the background, we can see Jasper and Emmett holding on to both of James' arms, and Alice jumping on top of his legs, and ripping his head off, and chucking it into a fire. That, I thought, was a totally awesome scene! There's also another scene, the one where Bella goes to Edwards house for the first time, and we see Esme, Carlisle, Rosalie, and Emmett preparing food for Bella, and when Edward introduces Emmett, Emmett waves, holding a knife. Also, watching it for the second time, I decided to focus more on the characters. And I really do think they portray the characters they're playing really well. I think my favourite characters have to be Alice, Jasper, Rosalie + Emmett.
Right, so to conclude this short, but informative(perhaps not so informative) review. I think that Twilight is a great film, that is suitable for teens/young adults. I would seriously recommend it to anyone, as it is great, and very thrilling to watch. Also, it has introduced me to the world of Vampires(this includes the book as well).
Hope you enjoyed reading this...review, and that you also enjoyed reading the books, and watching the movies as much as i did/do. :)
