Writing movie reviews

T wilight is the story of a girl moving to a new town, she falls in love with a boy who happens to be a vampire. Firstly, Twilight is an exciting and fast paced movie with lots of tension and drama. The main characters; Bella, Edward and Jacob are complex and thrilling. However the plot is predictable, can be too serious and is not appealing for everyone. Overall, this is a great romantic movie suitable for young people to enjoy!
