Few days ago, Star Movies aired "Twilight" and I thought I'll just watch this anyway so that I may have an idea what this movie's all about.
I already caught the movie at the scene where Bella noticed the color change in Edward's eyes and I think it was weird that he left instantly right after he made his "fluorescent" excuse about it. And since I hadn't watched the start of the movie, I'll let this one pass.
The funny thing I noticed is that he kept saying "We shouldn't be friends" and "Stay away from me" but he keeps popping out of nowhere and always making the first move to talk to her. I wanna tell him like "Dude, what's your problem? I thought you're avoiding her already, why you keep contradicting everything you say?" It would've been better if after what he said, Bella makes the effort to go near him and talk so that Edward will make the effort again but he has to shut up when he wants to tell her again this: "Stay away from me". So redundant.
And I finally saw the "sparkle" that everyone was talking about. I went "Oooh..." right in front of our Bravia and giggled because I don't remember vampires sparkling under the sun.
Everyone knows they burn under the sun. Queen of the Damned, Interview with the Vampire, Blade, Underworld, Van Helsing, Dracula, all of the Vampire films portray the perfect essence of these bloodsuckers. So why does Twilight has to be different? Why do they have to sparkle? I need a damn explanation! I need a little bit of science of how their skin sparkle! But you know what? There was no explanation in the film. He just went saying "I have the skin of a killer" and then Bella sighs "You're beautiful". What the...?
In Queen of the Damned and Blade, they explained why they can walk in daylight because they know how big of a deal it is when Vampires go out in the sun. Lestat doesn't even sparkle, people, and he's way older than Edward! If the movie explained, "It's because of the Spanish Influenza stuck in my skin that's why I sparkle" (LOL!), maybe I'll even fall for that but there was really none and the brainless Bella didn't even bother to ask.
The romance in this film is empty. Obviously the characters are just attracted physically. Recalling the film, the only reason I could muster out of the movie of why he likes her is that he couldn't read her mind...? Dude, you're a vampire! That reason alone is enough to be around her. You don't have to read her mind. Even a mosquito, who's also a bloodsucker, doesn't have to read anyone's mind just to suck their blood. It's already attracted to you because you got blood. But then I remembered that he's supposed to be "vegetarian", so okay then. I'll respect that, but do you have any other reasons why you like her? Come on, you're not that shallow, are you?
In QotD (Queen of the Damned) movie, Lestat (Stuart Townsend) realized why he was attracted to Jesse (Marguerite Moreau). She was beautiful to him because she's human. Her short fragile years seemed more precious than the immortality he's living. He always wanted to be human again, but he can't go back anymore. At the same time, Jesse, who had already read his journal, understood his loneliness and wants to answer to his call for a companion. At least, in this sense, I understand their romance.
And Edward's cheesy lines, GAWD! He's supposed to be a hundred years old, people! Why is he soooooo unoriginal?! Personal brand of heroin? (If Edward said "You're like my personal brand of condom," I bet Bella will say "I like your protection," but then again she doesn't have that originality either. LOL!) You have to say better than that if you've lived for so long. That's why humans are so easy to be attracted to them because vampires lived for so long that they know how to socialize very well. They say the right words at the right time and before they know it they've fallen prey to them. Haha!
But Edward's not that cunning huh? Hmmm... Makes you wonder what had he been doing all those years.
All in all, the movie is not impressive as what Twitards are making it out to be. The characters are poorly fleshed out and the storyline is nothing out of the ordinary. It's just a mediocre flick and the crazy thing about it is the fans that making it too big. So I guess this movie is not as threatening as it is to the Vampire cult. I'm sure there are a lot of other Vampire movies to make in the future, like maybe Anne Rice's remaining 7 other books in the Vampire Chronicles and Underworld sequels. There is still hope to correct the vampire fault that Twilight created. You'll see, this craze will eventually die out.
