"Twilight, the movie," stars Robert Pattinson as irresistable vampire Edward Cullen (who you may recognize as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) and Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan, who every girl seems to relate with.
For the seemingly few who have not read the book, Bella Swan moves to the small town Forks, Washington, to live with her father. On her first day of school, she is instantly attracted to vampire Edward Cullen. On the other hand, he is instantly attracted to her blood. "And so the lion fell in love with the lamb," author Stephanie Meyer writes. Soon after they decide to try to be together, some unexpected visitors decide to crash the party, and it becomes a race between the Cullens and the visitors to keep Bella alive.
Readers of the book will love to see the story in theaters, but be prepared for a little disappointment. Most Twilight fans knew that the movie would not be as great the book, so the experience will depend on the attitude you walk into the theater with. If you go to to the theaters expecting an artsy masterpiece, you'll be disappointed. If you're there just to be entertained, you'll absolutely enjoy it.
Many readers wondered how the cast would live up to the high expectations set by the books. Kristen Stewart, acting as Bella, did all she could to show Twilight fans that she can take a very complex character and bring it onto the screen. Unfortunately, for the life of me, I cannot see her as the Bella Swan we know and love. Personally, I love Kristen Stewart, but not as Bella Swan.
Robert Pattinson took upon the important role of Edward Cullen. Movie-watchers may recognize him as our favorite Hufflepuff, Cedric Diggory, in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. How did Pattinson live up to the beloved Edward? Similar to casting Bella, it is very difficult to take such a intricate character and bring them to life. Robert Pattinson did his best, and most of the time, his best was enough. His performance took many girls' breath away, including mine.
Be forewarned that this a a very cheesy movie. If you don't mind the drama, watch it. If not, well, then don't.
On the scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the best movie ever made and 1 being a total disgrace, I would have to go with a 8. Overall, the movie was great. It stuck closely to the plot of the books. Plus, it was surprisingly funny. However, at times I forgot what I was watching. Director Hardwicke twisted some scenes that did not need twisting. I have read the book many times, but I got lost during the movie, wondering what was supposed to be going on.

If you are looking for a good laugh or a cute chick flick, I definitely recommend this vampire hit.
