i'm obsessed


i'm sure you knew it was only a matter of time before this appeared on my blog, but here is my official review of twilight, the motion picture. now everyone knows that movies adapted from books are never as good as the actual book, and twilight is no different. the movie itself was pretty terrible. the development of bella (kristen stuart) and edward's (robert pattinson)love was extremely skipped over, the beginning played out a little too much, and the ending went a little too fast. despite these faults, the movie was nowhere near a definite fluke. the casting of a majority of the characters was quite spectacular. all of the cullens were spot on, each embodying the characters i remember from the book and delivering the right attitudes. of course this includes edward cullen, played by the "dazzling" robert pattinson (cedric diggory in Harry Potter), whom i absolutely am in love with. everytime he came on screen and spoke i found myself literally jumping out of my seat and gasping for air. he had the exact effect over me that moves bella swan to fall in love with him. as for bella, played by kristen stuart (the land of women, speak), the choice perhaps could have been better, but i feel stuart gave a nice effort. the only thing that really bothered me about her was her deep voice narrating. all in all, the characters carried the movie, and for me that is enough. if you enjoy the books you can find a way to enjoy the movie. if you haven't read the books, you'll be lost and just think it is a crappy movie.
