1. Supernatural Stuff. Yes! Fantasy. The ultimate escapism.
2. Good Triumph over Evil. The same old recipe works.
3. Charming Handsome Heroes. Brat Pitt was a beloved vampire. And now Edward Cullen. Even younger, sweeter, faster, smarter and hotter. Plus, he was Cedric Diggory!!
4. Beautiful Vulnerable Heroine. Winona Ryder was unforgetable as a prospective vampire bride and now everybody (sorry, every girl) wants to be Isabella Swan.
5. Forbidden Love. Hated Romeo and Juliet coz bad ending. But Twilight is a different matter coz all ..ends well.
6. Love Triangle. Vampire loves vampire, werewolf loves vampire. An UNDERWORLD spin-off? Anyway whats not to love about having two men vying for a beautiful heroine's attention? Guys love the challenge, and girls love..the attention.
7. Hot Home. The Cullens' Home is now everybody's dream home.
8. Protective Boyfriend. Har! More like a stalker..hovering over her bedstand, following her on a shopping spree and girlfriends but since Edward Cullen was devastatingly handsome, perfect gentleman, killed a fellow mean vampire (and almost almost bashed up bad guys), cares about her dinner and drives her home, Isabella stops short of calling the cops aka her dad.
9. Loving-But-Not-Hovering Dad. For not hovering, or messing around with her diary ...
10. Nice Parents-In-Laws-To-Be. Minus the cold blooded flesh and blood sucking charateristics, the Cullens are perfect as daddy and mummy, sis-in-law, bro-in-law...the All-American-Family-Baseball-Players.
Didn't really "get" the lion-loves-stupid-lamb line..anyway, everything else is well-scripted and super entertaining. 8.5/10
