“I gave Twilight the benefit of the doubt the first...”

written by reviewkitten on 17/11/2009

I gave Twilight the benefit of the doubt the first time I watched it. If I was a 13 year old then I would probably love this film but to be honest I felt that the overacting was taken straight from a Jane Austen novel, all heaving chests and pouty lips. I watched it a second time with my boyfriend last night and he ended up fast forwarding through huge chunks of the film (the leaping through the trees, the dull build up to the fight between Edward and James amongst others). I have not read the book (my friend says she enjoyed it) so have no idea how close the film adapation is. I ended up spending most of the film wondering how a small town in America manages to have such a diverse and multicultural society that accepts pretty much everyone straight away...and why the make-up department couldn't afford to white up the boys necks.
