Even the grown-ups (females)\u00a0lust after Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson<\/a>) .\u00a0 In this year’s MTV Movie Awards,\u00a0Jim Carrey typically won the best comedic performance and added a little joke for Pattinson in his speech. He mentioned Robert<\/a> as “the good-looking kid from Twilight”.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u00a0have read the book or not (and\u00a0sometimes especially if you haven’t heard the book), you fall for the story, and you fall for Cullen<\/a>. And it is just too easy to identify with Bella. It doesn’t matter how old you are, or where you are from. She is plain and definitely not strikingly pretty. So the fact that the most gorgeous guy in school notices her and falls for her, is a fantasy most women ponder. Then add the mutual & etarnal love to the equation, and voila…we are hooked.<\/p>\n

Edward Cullen is the perfect creature (\u00a0he is a \u00a0vampire so I guess the word creature is appropriate).\u00a0 He is bloody sexy, deeply romantic and\u00a0loyal to the end. He has\u00a0amazing stamina and strength\u00a0(again, perks of being a vamp) and he can hear anyone’s thoughts, apart from his love interest’s. Oh, let’s not forget the fact that he can play the piano, dance and literally & metaphorically knock you off your feet. So most men are bound to hate him and the movie. They say that there isn’t enough action in the movie (sure there isn’\u00a0t,\u00a0it is basically a love story) and that the characters\u00a0aren’t realistic (people- it is set in a world with vampires, so\u00a0why are we\u00a0questioning impossibly pure loves? Or the fact that Edward looks at Bella like she is dinner? She is! \u00a0He even mentions it himself, remember?). And again, why would you go see Twilight if you don’t want a love story? Have you seen the trailer? Or the poster, for that matter?<\/p>\n

Seriously, who really looked at the poster and thought this was an action movie?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Let’s not discuss how a character or love like this wouldn’t exist in the real world. He is a vampire. If you can buy that, you can buy the rest. Maybe the effects weren’t good enough. I don’t really care. I have seen much worse in movies with much larger budgets-and those were\u00a0ACTION movies.<\/p>\n

The acting? Some find it mediocre. Some find it just right.\u00a0The music is perfect, the author Stephenie Meyer approves of it (she even appears\u00a0very shortly in a scene).<\/p>\n

My mom-mid 50s- \u00a0adored it and she hates vampires.\u00a0 The 16 year-old-sister\u00a0of a good friend loved it and so did I. Give it a shot. Just don’t watch it with a male if you can help it…<\/p>\n

And if\u00a0you have read the book, there will be the issue of how it is not nearly as good. People, there are not many readers out there who have been satisfied with the movie adaptation of anything. Yet\u00a0when\u00a0you haven’t read it beforehand and liked the\u00a0flick, then you just wish people would stop bitching about the differences and\u00a0talk\u00a0on about how much you enjoyed the whole experience.<\/p>\n
