Although most of my mates will probably be commenting on how hot Edward is - I'll probably get sick of that fast Although from what I've seen Bella's not too bad looking either lol |

| I heard that even the guy who plays Edward hates the movie. Personally, I can't imagine it (or anything, really) being much worse than the books, but it could be a laugh.

Anyway, I'll toss my opinion out there and then leave. Personally, I think Twilight is really shitty Mary Sue fanfiction that spits in the face of classic vampire literature and only got published because someone at the office knew millions of teenage girls and their mothers would line up to buy five copies to masturbate to. That is all. | |

Out Status: All but family Location: Hot Springs, Arkansas Age: 22 Posts: 2,149 Join Date: Jan 2007 | I saw the midnight premier... It was "meh" at best. People were fun to look at. I'm now a team Jasper fan. (His character was played very well and Alice complimented him soo well.) (((((EDIT))))) By fun to look at.... they were VERY pretty... *sigh* Ok, so here we go.... The amazing Meadow Scene where Edward explains things to Bella and shows that he Sparkles? ....Not in the movie. The whole movie feels SO rushed. Which in my opinion is quite the accomplishment on a two hour movie that manages to leave SO MUCH out. Me and my friends discussed it on our way back from Little Rock. (We went to the Rave.) We decided... Movie was OK... If you didn't read the books, the movie leaves many details out. (Basic details about the characters/vampires/everything of that nature.) If you did read the book, the movie is such a loose interpretation of the book that it leaves key scenes out that were favorites among the reader. (Meadow) I've not been too possessed to want to see it again because of how much was left out and changed. My favorite line was even cut out. Edward: Do I dazzle you? Bella: Frequently. (In a matter of fact tone. Loved it!) The Alcoholic references were cut out of the movie. The You're my brand of Heroin is still in there but seems a bit... off. Bella and Alice still become best friends. Which is another amazing feet giving Alice is in all of like 5 scenes in the movie and in those scenes there doesn't seem to be much/any bonding. For those who are picky on details... It's going to be her wrist, not her hand. (That's all I'll say on that... that whose scene was changed and only had one shining moment... and it didn't even involve Bella or Edward...) At least Harry Potter movies stayed closer to the story. Now, I could go on for DAYS about those movies and what they should have had in it or should have changed but it would all be nothing compared to this movie. I'll leave you with this: Most guys that sparkle usually aren't all that into girls.

When people ask me if I liked the movie I always say "I would of liked it wayy more if i didn't read the book before I saw it". One thing I DID love in the movie was the baseball scene, I don't know why but I just LOVE how Alice was pitching the ball....i found it amazingly awesome ![]() | |

| Guest Posts: n/a | Every time when I'm trying to read a book, I get a headache. Tough this twilight series really got me going. It became a sensation in my school. Everybody talks about it and says "bite-me Edward". The film wasn't good enough. Emmett got me really for sure. |

| EC Addict Full Member ![]() Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Family, friends, and staff! Location: California Age: 21 Posts: 1,139 Join Date: Oct 2008 | My friend lent me the first two books to read. I like the first one for it's characters and the vivid description of the surrounding area. I could very easily picture the scenes based on Meyer's description. I also like the way it blends contemporary everyday life with the supernatural. A book about vampires sounds uninteresting to me, but because it's told from the point of view of an ordinary senior girl in high school, it's more relatable for me. I don't think Meyers knows much about plot construction, and that's part of the reason I found the second book just kind of funny and hard to really take that seriously. Even the climax of the first book is caused by the sudden introduction of an outside force that had no mention any earlier in the book. Some parts of the book are very drawn out, while she hurries through plot points because she'd rather just write about how physically and emotionally the two main characters are attracted to each other. I don't plan on seeing the movie; my friends who read the book and saw the movie said that the actors take it so seriously that it's just ridiculously funny.

I do have a song in jazz band that is called Twilight, nothing to do at all with the book of course, but a great song, performed it just last night too, great concert...
