The Quarter-Life Reviews

I have been late jumping on the Stephanie Myers bandwagon.  I haven’t read any of her books in her Twilight series and until yesterday I hadn’t bothered going to see the movie version of the first installment.

After hearing all the hype I had high expectations.  When I walked out of the theater however, I was pretty disappointed.  None of the characters seemed remotely “real” to me.  If anything, I thought that vampires in the film seemed more believable than the human characters did.  And Bella?  I spent the second half of the film just rooting for her to become vampire feed.

Now, I will probably still try to read the book version as I’m a true believer in the book being better than the movies (generally anyway) but I don’t see myself taking the time to bother with any of the other movies in the series.  I will stick with Harry Potter.
