I finally made it to see Twilight yesterday! I actually really enjoyed it. Yes, it was a cheesy low-budget teen film, but it was highly entertaining and stuck very nicely to the book.
Especially Nice Things:
-Robert Pattnison (Edward) was much more attractive and far less over-drawn than I expected from what I saw of the movie posters.
-Billy Burke (Charlie) was excellent. And uber-feminists will be happy that they didn't have Bella slaving over a hot stove for him. :P
Especially Obnoxious Things:
-Kristen Stewert (Bella) really needs to see a respiratory therapist. She kept breathing deeply and gasping in really random places. It was probably supposed to help build tension, but it really just made me laugh.
-Every last one of the boy vampires, save Emmett, needed a haircut. The whole windblown thing was just a little crazy. Jasper's was especially bad.
-I actually did not like the scene where Bella revealed that she knew that Edward was a vampire. Too much gasping (seriously, give the girl an inhaler) and Edward was much too crabby. It was too bad considering that scene in the meadow (which they worked into this scene) was so good in the book.
