The Twilight movie!

So just like millions of other girls my age, the highlight of my week thus far has been the seeing of the new Twilight movie. I went in with mediocre expectations, really expecting only to laugh most of the way through at the cheesy-ness of many of the lines. Some things work well in books and horribly in a movie; there was plenty of evidence of this. (Example: The lion/lamb conversation. Cute in the book, corny in the movie.)

Overall, I was pleased with the movie. It was cute and fluffy and the romance was slow-moving and then all of the sudden it was deep, passionate, never-ending love. But there were many things that were just... awkward or strange to watch. Such as the romantic scenes, the angry scenes, the facial expression scenes... but really, how can these people be expected to know how to be vampires? They're only human.

I'd give this movie about 3.5 stars. I spent half of the time whispering to my friend jokes about the movie, repeating certain lines and adding my own extras or making fun of the movie in general. But that was what made the experience all the more enjoyable, to be perfectly honest.

If you want to go see this movie, don't expect a masterpiece. Just enjoy the mindless, strange romantic-osity and don't think to hard about what they're saying, because sometimes it's just a "wtf?" or "aaaawkward" moment.
