My Thoughts

Oh my gosh! So Friday night I was browsing Netflix (as you do) when I came across Twilight, I was bored so I thought yeah I’ll give it a rewatch! Cue cheesy intro and cringy voice over from Kirsten Stewart.

Guys, I don’t know how but I genuinely forgot just how bad the acting was in this movie. I seriously don’t think they could have cast someone any worse as Bella, Kirsten Stewart makes her so stiff and awkward, even her interactions with Charlie are just really bloody awful.

Then the moment when she first sees the Cullens, the staring between her and Edward is just so odd, I don’t remember the book being this strange but it has been some time since I last read it. I didn’t actually manage to finish this movie, I actually turned it off after the first lesson Bella has to sit next to Edward. God his reaction to her as well, like she’s a bad smell, he really does look like he is about to throw up when he sees her.
