That should be my name. Know where I was last night from 8-12 pm??? Waiting in line to see my man Edward on the big screen. We saw Twilight last night and I am here to give you the details. So if you don't want to hear this, DON'T READ ANY FURTHER. I just want to tell you what I did and didn't like about the movie. And keep in mind that I went into it expecting to be COMPLETELY disappointed, because how can you seriously recreate a story as perfect as this one?
First of all, ever since they cast Robert Pattinson to play my ever so perfect vampire boyfriend, I have been terribly upset. He was not MY Edward you know?? Surprisingly towards the end of the movie, he started to grow on me and started to accept him as Edward. So that was a bonus.
I think the movie went WAY TO FAST, but again, I expected this completly. I just think IT SUCKS!!! In my opinion, if you are going to make a movie based on a widely popular book, DON'T CUT OUT SCENES. Its not like fans aren't going to watch it if it is 4 hours long. We want to see it all.
They didn't involve the Cullens as individuals as they should have. Especially Alice. Alice is a key part in all the books, and they should have spotlighted her more, which goes back to the whole cutting out scenes for time bit that I mentioned before.
Speaking of Alice, she was one of the more accurately casted vampires in the movie. I thought she was perfect for the look of Alice. Did not like the guy who played Jasper, or the girl who played Esme. It just bothers me when the people they cast don't even come close. Oh, and the guy who played Jacob?? The boy from "Sharkboy and Lavagirl", I mean COME ON!!!
I really enjoyed watching the scene at the ballet studio. I thought that Kristin Stewert (even though I can't stand that girl) did a good job making her pain from being bitten by James believable. I think they should have torn him up more graphically though, like they do in detail in the book.
There are so many things I would love to crtitique, but there just isn't time for that and you probably havent even made it this far in the post anyway!!! But considering I went into it with low expectations, I came out of it loveing it enough. I will probably go see it another 5 times. I LOVE TWILIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

who did you go with?
That's exactly what I thought. Thank you for saying it. My Mia maids/beehives would never forgive me if I did.
Jana I went with Travis and my friends Shannon and Jason. I will go again if anyone needs company though!
Opted out of seeing it Thursday at midnight and glad now. I have similar feelings as you. Edward did grow on me (surprisingly); I went into the theater Negative Nancy and not liking "that" Edward AT ALL! That Japser looked pretty similar to my visions BUT acted like a total doofus! Book Jasper is so...well, cool I guess. Alice looked perfect!! But yes, she is so much more important to the story line that that. Edward did too much eye squinting and that drove me nuts! The first scene in the science lab was comical. Carlisle-WRONG! Esme-WRONG! Emmett was pretty good. Rosalie should've been prettier (sorry). Amy, you're such a true fan :) I love it! In the end; I wasn't 100% disappointed. I just hope New Moon will have a bigger production budget so we can expect bigger and better things! I give it a 1 1/2 stars.
love the new siggy wiggy
Okay so did the movie even tell us what Jasper's gift is?? Maybe that's why he looked constipated the whole time b/c he was FEELING the tension between edward and bella, but does everyone else know that, or just us faithful readers?? augh...
