A sloppy, anaemic tale of forbidden teenage love
Adapted from Stephenie Meyer's best-selling novel (the first of four books), Twilight is a sloppy, anaemic tale of forbidden teenage love. Perhaps the biggest fault with Twilight is that the film is damagingly reliant on its source material, meaning that while its reverential nature may satiate the pre-converted (a predominantly feminine ... read more

Underdeveloped? Understatement.
Before watching the movie, I thought it was probably a little lame, a bit this and that... but that it might be kinda cute, and fun to watch... Nope. I was wrong.
It's so damn empty and flawed...!
Oh the acting, the plot, the whole thing... Not even the freaking relationship between the pair was well developed! (How did that ha... read more

I haven't read the book, so I can't judge its faithfulness or lack of to the text. I am going to start with the negatives. The dialogue felt very clunky and awkward, and I honestly felt the actors didn't have that much to work with. The plot takes a very long time to get going, and while it gets going, there were parts that felt underdeveloped sadly. And there were a number of bits towards the beginning that were unintentionally funny, and I think that was to do with Robert Pattinson.
