uberreiniger | Twilight (Reply)

We saw Twilight last night. It wasn't terrible. Honestly I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. Although I did find the pacing to be a bit slow. And the superspeed vampire running special effects weren't very special; very much of a Hercules/Xena quality. Oh, and the scenes of the evil vampires killing their victims were, well, they weren't... they always cut away well before any violence took place. Didn't sell me on how the bad guys operated very well, so the confrontation at the end sort of came out of nowhere and relied heavily on exposition. But I am keeping in mind that it's a movie marketed to teenaged girls so massive gore and violence are right out. Also keep in mind that I'm from a generation that grew up watching Kiefer Sutherland flay punk rockers' skulls so my expectations for a vampire attack will always be skewed.

But if you don't mind all that, Twilight was actually a pretty good movie. Haven't read the book so I don't have any comparisons there. But yep, enjoyable film. And blue. Why was everything blue?
