Twilight-Unsolicited review

So I'm a fan. Of the book, I should say. The movie somehow lacks the intensity of the emotions felt in the book. For those who are not a fan and were just dragged to see the movie for the sake of others, it may be a little too corny, labeled as a chick-flick and later on forgotten. For those who are constant followers, it may be perfect. What, with the gorgeous-looking vampires and the cute little Kristen Stewart, who would not get goosebumps whenever the two main characters get just a little too close?

I personally think that Kristen Stewart did not portray enough emotions for the character Bella. I distinctly remember her in one facial expression. Sorry. Nevertheless, the movie is such a success probably because it is a somewhat different vampire story. We are so used to seeing vampires with blood, dead people, more blood, and more dead people. This time, the movie targeted a young, dreamy audience and portrayed vampires as creatures not so different from us, which is very refreshing. I have never encountered a vampire movie/love story which revolves around high school and all its drama, so this is a really different one from your usual dose of vampire adventure. It is undoubtedly a success, but I guess it will not make it to the list of classics.
