Twilight

When you read magazines and movie sites that say a certain movie is one of the most anticipated of the Fall, you would think that this film would be pretty decent with so much anticipation. Honestly I had never even heard of this movie until about two or three weeks before it came out, my idea of a movie with so much anticipation is something you wait nearly a year for, like with me and The Dark Knight or the upcoming Watchmen, not something you heard about a few weeks ago, so I'm not really sure who was anticipating this movie, maybe the tween market. Anyway, what is Twilight about? It's about this teenage girl who moves into a new town, and ends up fitting in pretty nicely, but there is this one guy who just wont talk to her, until he somehow saves her from being crushed by a van. How he was able to stop the van bothered her and she needed to know, 20 minutes later we find out he's a vampire. At this point things should be getting interesting, but then the movie truly shows who it's target demographic is, the 90210 crowd. It's like a really long episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, expect if that show wasn't brilliant and was written by the Gossip Girl team of writers. This is one of the least interesting vampire films I've ever seen. Warning to any one who is reading this that thinks vampires films are awesome such as myself, this is not From Dusk til' Dawn, this is not 30 Days of Night, this is not John Carpenter's Vampires. This is a really bad love story for teens that might have been interesting if vampires weren't involved. When you put vampires in a movie, you really have a lot to live up to, such as the awesome movies i mentioned earlier and countless others, even that new HBO series True Blood, which is quite impressive. So to sum it up here, if you a 13-15 year old girl you are going to absolutely love this movie, otherwise this movie is not for you. You've been warned.
