Twlight is based on Stephenie Meyer's best selling young adult novel that's hooked millions of tween girls. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) is a smart, mature teenager who moves from sunny Phoenix to live with her father, Charlie (Billy Burke), in the rainiest city in the country tiny Forks, Washington. At school, Bella encounters five gorgeous, aloof, alabaster-skinned siblings. One of them, auburn-haired Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), is assigned as her science partner, and soon Bella starts crushing on the mysterious, charming, super-strong guy. He likes her, too, in fact, he'd love nothing more than to suck her blood, because he's a vampire. But unlike most evil undead, Edward and his family are "vegetarians" who stick to animal blood in order to live among humans. Can a human girl and a vampire boy overcome his kind's thirst for blood and find true love? The answer is Yes!
Personally I love Twilight, to be completely honest I've never read the books, only watched the movies but still this movie is fantastic, sure Bella’s character is a little awkward and some scenes are almost hard to watch but the overall story and the way that the movie is shot and edited is just amazing. It's very interesting and will keep you on your feet! I love the mystery of Edward and his family of vampires and it keeps me wanting to learn and watch more. I also love how there are 2 guys both fighting for Bella, even though she’ll clearly always choose Edward over the family-friend, native werewolf Jacob.
I recommend this movie to any starry eyed teenage girl that loves a little mystery and romance with a twist
