For years we have been in love with the Twilight series. We’ve read the books and watched the movies, fallen in love with the characters (and sometimes even wished that we could be Bella Swan)! So what are our reasons for loving this series about a century-old vampire named Edward Cullen? Read on to find out!
10. The Twilight movies are so awesome and the visual effects are stunning! The fight sequences in particular are our favorite because we love to see the vampires show off their strength and stunt ability!
9. Twilight is set in one of the most beautiful places in the world. We love getting a glimpse into the Northwest region of America and Washington is such a pretty setting for a movie. It is perfect for the book and the movie, especially the grand scenes in the mountains during battles in the later movies.
8. It is so much fun to attend Twilight movie premieres and get to meet other fans who love the books and movies as much as we do! The collective sigh of the audience when Taylor Lautner takes his shirt off on screen is always something to look forward to!
7. Stephenie Meyer is so creative with her interpretation of what vampires are like. She makes Twilight even more interesting because it changes the myth of vampires killing humans, which makes the Cullens even more likable characters.
6. We love how dreamy and gentlemanly the guys in the books are! Team Edward or Team Jacob? We can’t even choose!
5. For the characters in Twilight, family is the most important thing. Edward, Jacob and Bella all have very deep connections to their families, especially their parents. We really admire and love that about the story!
4. Because we love Twilight so much, we have been introduced to an awesome new genre! There are so many great vampire novels. Also, without Stephenie Meyer’s endorsement (she loved the book), maybe The Hunger Games would not have become as popular as it is today! And we can’t imagine a world without Katniss Everdeen.
3. We just LOVE Taylor Lautner. It is so fun to watch the movies and see how Jacob’s relationship with Bella grows. Of course, we also love that Taylor seems to look even cuter in every sequel!
2. The romance between Bella and Edward is one of the best things about the series. Edward such a sweet gentleman and he cares so much for Bella. Swoon!
1. We can practically see ourselves in Bella Swan. Maybe the vampire parts of the story are unrealistic, but the great thing about Twilight is that we (almost) feel like it could happen to us! Bella is a normal girl, no matter how many crazy things happen to her.
