Verdict: Not my cup of tea, but I believe it should better stay as novel

So, me and my sister watched this old movie to understand why the hype - why was this movie so popular that, it is also making the next installment the hot topic in town.

Our conclusion is simple: The guy looks charming, be it the look or his very much needed appearance whenever the girl needs help.

And the Romeo & Juliet-like storyline that make people feel sad if they can't be together, and happy if they are together, forgetting about how are they gonna deal with future.

That's the reason why it has another two episodes coming (and probably more)

Call me and my sister unromantic, but I've come up with two alternative insight:


If you put Lam Chi Chung into the movie, replacing Robert Pattinson, but doing exactly what Robert did in the movie - the movie would look very much like a comedy.


And if you put Simon Yam into the movie, replacing Robert Pattinson, but doing exactly what Robert did in the movie - the movie would look very much like a serial-killer / psychotic movie.

The important point here is that, it's the actor, and nothing but the actor.

His cute/cool appearance make (especially) the teenagers' heart melted.

So that's why, I said it should better be left as novel for room of imagination.

But it's good that this movie helps people to spend during the economy crisis ;)

Rating: 4/10

it's typical comment for someone who dont read the books :) biggest hype are from fans who read Twilight saga books (4 books altogether FYI :))
even if they change actor, the fans will still watch it but since the movie was based on the books, the need someone like Robert Pattinson to play the role.
since you watched this movie to understand the hype, why dont you read the books too. let me know i can pass you the book hehehe
