Ok I FINALLY got to see Twilight the movie!!! My hubby and I went Thanksgiving night at 7! It was a good movie...but it PALED in comparison with the book! I actually read bunches of reviews and checked out pics from the movie before I went so as to not be too disappointed! I set my expectations VERY low - or so I thought - I was still kinda disappointed. Sorry but I was. I guess I can understand the things they left out - if they had put everything in it would have been really long - but I still would have gone! It's what they added that bugged me! The diner scenes and the extra scenes with the bad guys, oh and the field trip, the only scene I liked that they added was the Cullen's cooking for her - I though that was a sweet adition! Oh and Bellas outfit for prom?!?!?!?!? What the heck?!?! I also though Bella's room was all wrong! Oh and they left out one of my VERY fave quotes! I'M BETTING ON ALICE! Oh and the scene with Edward sucking the venom out at the end really ticked me off! It seemed as though the actors got better as the movie went along. It was VERY low budget and you could tell. Some of the scenes were very cheesy! I didn't think there was as much humor in the book as the movie! But all in all am I glad I went ABSOLUTELY, will I buy the DVD YES! I will probably like it better the next time I watch it! But onto fave scenes and character analasis!
Fave scenes: the BASEBALL SCENE - it was perfect!!!!! I loved it!!!!! The first time Edward and Bella come to school together!
Characters
Bella - LOVED HER!!! Perfect!
Edward - eh? maybe if he hadn't been Cedric Diggory in HP I would like him as Edward more! (side note got to see the HP HalfBlood Prince preview! gave me chills)
Charlie - LOVED HIM!!! I really really liked him! He was perfect!
Billy Black - PERFECT!
Jacob Black - PERFECT!
Alice - PERFECT except they made her a little more kookie than I think of her!
Rosalie - didn't think I would like her but DID! She was perfect
Emmet - PERFECT!
Jasper - awful! I don't know if it was the actor or his acting!
Carlise - better than I expected still not what I would have liked to see!
Esme - LOVED her didn't think I would but did!
Kids at Forks - eh alright I guess - Jessica was pretty good as far as the character goes, Mike too, didn't like Angela in the movie she was too much like Jessica - like that they threw in some different ethnicities!
Bad Vamps - could not have been more PERFECT!!!! I do NOT think James is hot but they were perfect! I would love to see Victoria's hair more red but other than that PERFECT!
That's my speal! Can't wait for the next one! I think it will be much better even though it's my least favorite book!

Thanks for stopping by my blog :) I am SO delighted to see your write up about Twilight. I am SUCH a Twi Fan!!! I haven't seen the movie yet (our town has no movie theatre) but it is on my list of "musts".
ReplyDeleteGREAT review- my thoughts exactly!
ReplyDeleteBTW- the floor polish thing is super easy- just put it in your water color painter brush. The effects are amazing!
I loved the baseball scene too! It was my favorite scene!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review!
ReplyDeleteYou couldn't have said it better :)
ReplyDeleteBella's outfit? Isn't Alice suppose to have exquisite taste?

ReplyDeletei don't understand what is the appeal of Robert Pattinson (Edward), his nose looks funny
