The Musings of a Journeyman

Cedric Diggory (from Harry Potter, that’s for the non-Harry Potter fans) is revived as a vampire and now calls himself Edward Cullens. 

First and foremost, this is a chick flick, so be warned.  No matter what  synopses you’ve read or what raving reviews are out there, bottom line is , this is a chick flick.  Dialogues are, well, scripted.  Some lines are awkward, I believe that is a product of sticking with the book.  Rewrite would’ve helped and good editing.  The movie bordered on the Edward’s uncontrollable desire for Bella and him being a vampire.  And them trying to work it out. 

I noticed a flaw in the characterization of Edward Cullens about him being able to read minds.  In one occasion he was able to read Bella’s mind but not the next.  I would like to point the scene in the restaurant. 

Unless you’re a fan of the book, I don’t recommend that you watch this movie.  If you’re looking for more vampire-werewolf action, just wait for Underworld coming out next year.
