Jess's view of the movie Twilight

Twilight is the best worst most awesome movie!!



Ok so I really enjoyed the movie for what it was. It was a total teen movie, which was kinda fun as I normally don't watch those types of movies. I thought that the actors cast for each character were well cast, they suited them all nicely. The shots of Forks (the town in which Bella moves to) look really well and set up the area nicely. The narrative that Bella has at points in the movie is a nice way of bringing the book into the movie. Which is nice because the book and movie are vastly different, in good and bad ways.I also agree with Mike that the cast was not used to the full talent and the movie seemed rushed.



Ok so here comes my issues with the movie,

1 Not enough of the Cullens, I think that they really should have had more of them in the movie.

2 Certain character traits or apperances that didn't get transferred over to the movie, such as Alice's hair colour, Jacob' hair and so forth. ( i'm not going to on too much about this as I know things change for movies)

3 Too short, I get that this is being marketed for Preteens (I hate the word tween) and teens but the movie should have been about 30 mins longer for the flow to work better and you could have had more in the movie.

4 now this just pissed me off they don't have the one kiss that Edward just plants on Bella wheb they are parting to escape from James, this is a big thing in the book (they mention this moment in the other books) and they don't have it in the movie adn well that just pissed me off!



Ok so my fave thing counting downto number 1

5 Jasper and Alice they were awesome, whatever they were doing

4 Bella's red truck

3 The chemistry between the leads was great

2 Edward walking in the parking lot with the Raybands and that smirk of his (hot)

1 Edward in the waffle shirt *

As a final word, I plan on seeing the movie once more as when we went I was on about 8 hours of sleep for the week and was a little punchy, which might have been why I laughed a lot at this movie. But If you want to see a none thinking movie for just a good time, then I say go see Twilight.

- the awesome jess


* i kinda yelled really loudly in the theater at this point and it was the one time the theater was dead silent, but whatever that man looks good in a waffle shirt!
