Twilight is based on the first book in a series I read last year. I thought the books were great and was looking forward to the film. For all of the negative press it got, it really wasn’t that bad. Kristen Stewart did a decent job of playing Bella. I wasn’t impressed with Robert Pattinson’s portrayal of Edward, though. He wore this bizarre pained look on his face for most of the movie and it irritated me. Plus, I pictured an Edward who was more handsome and mysterious. In the book, Bella describes Edward as being “impossibly beautiful”. I think someone more like Henry Cavill would’ve been a better pick, but I digress. Overall, I enjoyed the film and will probably watch it again soon.
