My succumbing to Twilight

My friend has been reading the Twilight franchise which is where I first discovered the world of Edward Cullen and the whole vampire loves human, hates werewolf concept. Initially the whole notion of this seemed ridiculous and ultimately an irritating love story that would result in a dark yet typical happy ending. Isabella "just call me Bella" Swan goes to live with her dad whilst her mum is off gallivanting with her new hubby. This is where she meets the telepathic vampire Edward who at first would like to kill and feed on her. Aside from this a true romance underpins the homicidal groove.
Now being a superhero/superpower enthusiast, I thought the vampire's possessing abilities was quite the neat surprise. Telepathy, precognition, super speed and strength - quite the party trick. Throughout the film the relationship between Ed and Bel blossoms from a scary potential rape attack to a loving "I can't live without you", which does appear to be genuinely sincere.
The effects used in the film, with a low budget-esque, are actually quite swell. From the running really fast, to climbing up trees to the golden diamond skin. It should be worth mentioning that these vampires aren't affected by the yellow star in the conventional sense. Rather than killing them and burning their pale skin, it turns their skin into "the skin of a killer" which looks extremely expensive in my view.
The music used throughout is trendy and makes you think "that song was actually quite good". And even leading man Robert Pattinson contributes his own music to the Twilight saga, with a slow and possibly soothing song that plays over a very dramatic and "oh my god!" scene, which in hindsight is perhaps on of the best scenes in the film.
All in all, the super-powered vampire clan fighting against the evil vampires to protect the human Bella grows on you when you really wish it hadn't, but then soon after you accept that this concept could potentially be quite cool and that Twilight was now a part of your life.
