Fucking bite her!

Twilight. 

    1. The diffused light from the sky during the early evening or early morning when the sun is below the horizon and its light is refracted by the earth's atmosphere.
    2. The time of the day when the sun is just below the horizon, especially the period between sunset and dark.
  1. Dim or diffused illumination.
  2. A period or condition of decline following growth, glory, or success:in the twilight of his life.
  3. A state of ambiguity or obscurity.
  4. A shit film
What can I say. It's a film about vampires that's only a 12. That means no biting, no blood, and certainly no sex. A teen film without an ounce of boob? What's the point.

Twilight is a box-office smash. They often use that to describe a good film. It's not. It's a well advertised film from a popular novel. A good film will be slow and steady. Like the Shawshank Redemption. Or In Bruges.

Twilight ticks all the boxes for both clichés and bad movies. I can't really be bothered to go into it, but it's not very good. To the point where you actually cringe, or laugh. I thought it was big budget, but the CGI is absolutely dreadful. There's this bit, right, where Edward (the drac) scoops Bella (the pale-faced emo girl) onto his back and runs really fast up a cliff. Think...Scooby Doo. Even Heroes did running fast better. The very amount of cheese scooped onto the dialogue is disastrous. I don't know if Stephanie Meyer is a good writer, but using Superman, Spiderman and Harry Potter as a reference for superpowers is lazy. I'm hoping the screen-writer has destroyed her text, rather than her destroying popular culture.

Most of my predictions throughout the film didn't come true. Mainly, I just wanted someone to go sick with a shotgun (you see one being cleaned early in the film) but it never happened. There is one vampire who gets ripped into pieces and burnt, but you don't see it. No point. NO POINT. Also, the rating means NO BLOOD! Proper crap.

Again with the fantasy....see Stardust instead.
