Spoiler Alert! Twilight, the movie.

There's a pretty good print of Twilight on the net, now. The sound isn't great, but the overall quality is pretty good.
The first critic about the movie is that it's slow.
Now, PEOPLE, if you guys have read the book, you'll know that MOST of the text is Bella's "thoughts". There, actually isn't much dialogue. If they had to make it fast paced, the movie would be over in an hour. Heck, I finish reading the book in an hour, maybe two. So, keep that in mind please.

The Cullen's.


Dr. Carlisle Cullen - he was the closest to my imagination I think.
Esme Cullen - They really bring her out as a mother figure, she's a little more, authoritative that I imagined, but it's all good.
Alice Cullen - I thought she'd be smaller, but that.. hyperness isn't there, y'know?
Jasper Hale - He looks like Edward Scissor hands, really. ALWAYS has a pained look on his face, but if you take into consideration he's newest to being a "vegetarian", and is ALWAYS surrounded by human blood.
Rosalie Hale - I thought she was good, but she came across more as a cheerleader than anything else, but her dislike for Bella has been played out brilliantly!
Emmett Cullen - Oh, boy, he's PERFECT, he's everything I imagined about Emmett!
Edward Cullen - When I first heard that Pattinson was playing Edward, I almost cried. Really, I swore till no end and was SO upset, no, I am eating every word I uttered against Pattinson. He's got Edward down cold. With the crooked smile *Drools* to that silent chuckle. *Gasp*.
He's good, but I WISH he didn't try the American accent, if he'd just stuck with his own British accent, it would've just added more sex appeal to Edward.
(The scene where he's wearing those shades.. Oh my *drools more*)

The Swans.

Charlie Swan - He's more talkative that I expected. But they've really sort of developed a relationship between Charlie and Bella.
Isabella Swan - Well, she's slow. But it's sort of like what Bella's supposed to be, very thoughtful, y'know? But, still.. I don't think she was that great!

Renee - Well, they've shown that unbreakable bond between mother and daughter. = )

James - HOTT. Seriously, you almost want him to win. He's THAT good.
Laurent - He's well, yeah, pretty okay.
Victoria - I somehow imagined her hair to be RED, not orange.

Billy Black - Perfection.
Jacob Black - He has more of a role than the book gives him, but his hair? Why couldn't he tie it up? Looked slightly like a girl.

The Verdict
Well, the casting was pretty good, Mike was funny. Eric was strange, Angela was awesome and Jessica was ANNOYING.
As I agreed before, the movie IS slow, but it isn't bad.
I wish they'd spent MORE time sketching the Edward-Bella love story.
They've brought out the Edward - Jacob rivalry, ALREADY. (Billy send Jacob to Bella on the night of the prom (which is after the entire James incident) that she should break up with her boyfriend as they'll be "watching her")
The Cullens house, was TOO modern. I was expecting something more old fashioned, you know? This one is well.. all glass.
Edward and Bella were quite stiff, there was no.. flow.
And their chemistry COULD have been better.

And if you ACTUALLY compare it to the book, it's not bad. It can NEVER be better than the book, that's pretty obvious!

If not anything else, watch it 'cause it's Twilight, OR for James. *nods*

So, I'll say 7/10.

If its rated seven out of ten..then why should we watch it?

Shrutilaya said...

*gives Ki copyy*

On second thought, it ain't that good. I re-watched it.

Aayushi - DON'T. = P

ki said...

The thing is, if you've read the book you WILL watch the movie. Just to know what it is in view of the gripping, unputdownable series. So Laya, I (and all the other Twilight fans) will ending up watching it, no? :P

Hope this answera your question as well, Aayushi. :)
