The gigles, screams and adoration in the theatre from all the teens present were what made me write a better review for this movie. If I had seen it alone, I’d probably called it an average movie…but obviously a section of our society (teens) feel it’s worth watching and for once I need to look at it from their point of view too.
Vampires have varied in structure and form since centuries of depictions and though the basic things remain the same, the peripheral qualities change. Our hero has eyes that turn colors (and at one point they are golden!!) He has cold hands, pale skin, runs fast, climbs trees even faster and has superhuman strength. Innocent, rebellious Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) falls in love with a vampire, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), who studies with her in school in Forks, Washington, where she has been sent by her mom to live with her dad.
A slow and tedious love story follows. I think it was pretty slow in a lot of places. Many a times I kept hoping they would kiss or make love…but nothing happens (sorry to disappoint you people.) Of course, no story can be complete without some villains and here they’re a set of three “bad” vampires that threaten to disrupt their love and make a meal out of Bella. I would’ve expected to see some scary, frightening scenes to follow but it was pretty lackluster. Happy ending. Everyone goes home!!
I guess most teenage girls went to see Robert Pattinson. I can’t see any “handsome-ness” in that man but the teen girls all do…so I guess he is. The teens boys probably just went along…I doubt Kristen Stewart was really that much of a motivation!!
