Twilight (2008) 6/10

Starring : Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Billy Burke, Ashley Greene, Nikki Reed
Director : Catherine Hardwicke
Running Time : 122 mins

Bella Swan (Stewart) moves to live with her father in the quiet town of Forks where she joins the local junior high mid semester. There she meets Edward Cullen (Pattinson), a gloomy teen who seems to want nothing to do with her, but she soon discovers that his seeming disinterest is for her benefit as he doesn’t want to endanger her life. The reason? He’s a vampire!

Considering all the hype, this was pretty disappointing. The story took far too long to get going, and the actual plot considering the other band of vampires took over an hour to come into play. To top it off, the ending felt abrupt and poorly conceived, but I’m sure teenagers won’t care and they’ll be more interested in the romance between Bella and Edward to care about consistency.
