Just been to see Twilight
I’ve just come back from the cinema to see Twilight so i thought some readers might be interested to know what its like.
I’m a major Buffy & Angel fan and love anything to do with Vampires so with all the hype on this movie i was really looking forward to it. Sadly thought it didn’t live up to any expectations.
Overall it felt like a move version of Buffy or Angel but without any of the comedy. First off you have a nice girl who moves to a new area to spend some time with her Dad as her Mum and his boyfriend are on the road because the boyfriend is a baseball player.
Nice girl starts her new school and is instantly attracted to the ‘hot guy’ who is mysterious and no other girl has managed to get his attention. The next hour is nothing more than the girl and the hot guy playing cat and mouse which was frankly really boring.
Eventually she realises that the hot guy is a Vampire and just like Angel he doesn’t feed on humans. Then come in the ‘bad Vampires’ who of course do feed on humans with one of them being a bit mental and decides to go after the nice girl. We then finally get treated to some action as the nice Vampire and his family fight to defend the nice girl against the mental bad Vampire. Sadly the action only lasts about 15 minutes and then the movie is over.
Had the girl been a Vampire Slayer instead of a human then this could actually have been quite good but it wasn’t to be. Instead the viewer has to sit through over an hour of a pretty boring love story and not really feeling anything towards to characters to empathise with their story.
Overall it was pretty boring and the trailers pretty much show all the action in the entire movie so if you watch most of the trailers available then you’ll have seen all the action LOL!
The actors did a pretty good job. Kristen Stewart who plays the girl reminded me a bit of Alli Lohan and admittedly Robert Pattinson has grown up and is pretty cute but the movie needs more than just a couple of hot actors.
The ending was pretty predictable and there’s bound to be a sequel but i’ll definately wait for the DVD release on that.
If they chucked in a Witch, a handyman friend and gave Bella a stake then it truly would have been a Buffy/Angel movie but without any of the comedy or empathy for any of the characters.
