So, I took the liberty of sitting down and watching the three movies of the Twilight Saga that are currently out. What three movies? Well, there is Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse. Breaking Dawn isn’t out yet, so have to wait and see when it comes out.
So, let’s get down to business. Twilight, my thoughts. Well, perhaps I should consider my initial thoughts first? Well, let’s take a look at what I initially thought.
First and foremost, I was initially turned off by the whole Sparkly Vampire idea. That alone turned me away from the series. It being a romance and more of a chick flick also turned me away. Now, I don’t mind chick flicks, but combine that with the thought of Sparkly Vampires, and you have a no brainer for me.
What changed my mind? Well, at first, there was no changing my mind. Then my cousin introduced me to the original Dracula. Not the one we all know of about burning in the sun. That’s all fabricated crap really. I’m talking about the original pure Dracula. The only thing that he had to do with the Sun, is that he couldn’t shape shift during the day is all. So, as far as I’m concerned, all those Vampire haters, that claim Stephenie Meyers Vampires aren’t original. They can bite me.
So, what are my current thoughts on the whole Twilight series? Thus far they stand as is. The characters are well placed. Any new comer to the writing scene can learn a thing or two by reading both Twilight and Harry Potter. Both well written and characters well placed.
The plot is very interesting. Basically, it boils down to Bella being torn between two guys, and the two of them trying to sort of fight over her. One hates the other for trying to take her away, and the other hates the other for trying to make her immortal, which isn’t really the case at all.
This all leads to some very interesting story line, and a well thought out movie. Yes, I’m a Harry Potter fan, and ultimately will be a Harry Potter fan over Twilight. But, I think people need to stop bashing Twilight and and whole Sparkly Vampire thing, and enjoy a good story. Oooh, Sparkly Vampires, big deal, get over it, the original Vampire didn’t burn in the Sun.
