Twilight is a different vampire movie. Where most vampire movies focus on action and fighting this one focuses on the romance between a human and a vampire. Twilight has been called a chick flick in disguise, and I can see why. However It is still a very good movie.
The acting was solid from just about everyone. Especially the main people. The chemistry between Bella and Edward is amazing and they both do terrific work with their characters. In this kind of movie this is essential for it to be good and thankfully they found the correct people for the roles.
The next thing that could have ruined this film was if it was filled with clichés. Thankfully they do not follow the well used myths about vampires. In stead they have some new and fresh twists. For example that vampires shimmer in sunlight. This really helps the movie feel new and different and not just another average vampire flick.
The setting is also realistic. The kids look their age at the high school. The town looks like a small knit town you could find any number of places in America and even the vampires are chillingly realistic. If there where such things, this is how I would picture them.
Normally I do not watch that many romance or chick flicks. I find most of them to be uninteresting and boring. Thankfully this was not the case with Twilight. It has a strong plot, great acting and a beautiful love story. If you like vampire movies, but want a new and different angle this is the movie for you. 8/10
