Here we go another "That's soooo not how it went!!" or "That's not in the book." or my favorite "Why did they leave that out?!?!" movie.

Twilight

Personally I can't wait to see it, I only wish it comes out a week before it is supposed too, so that it will come out on my birthday. That would be awesome!!!

My sister is totally excited to see this movie. She is on book 4 right now and is taking her time with it so that it will never end! lol.
Personally I love a good vampire movie, and this might do until Underworld comes out.

I know nothing about the books really, but I just read a hillarious critique on the film. Apparently Edward's skin shimers in day light? Well the guy writing the critique dared me to try and keep a straight face. We'll see.

He also didn't understand why they called ed a vampire. He walks around in the day time, has a reflection, doesn't sleep in a coffin, and doesn't eat people or drink their blood. So he is pretty much a super hero with an identity crisis.
Like I said, I don't know much about the books, but that does sound a little goofy to me.

I'm going to go see it with my sis tonight.

Saw and Loved it!!!!!!

The guy that played Jasper was right on and in my opinion Robert didn't do a bad job with Edward either.

Spoilers

Favorite Parts were the Cullens' kitchen sceane and that first day back at school when Edward takes Bella and everybody is staring at them besides the guy that "just looked." Totally hillarious.

welcome back.
I had accidentally taken too much cough medicine before seeing this film. So despite my sister saying it was really poorly made, I found it to be really enjoyable.
But I still think that this is not a vampire story. at least not yet. Maybe in part two we'll see some vampires.

Vampires who shimmer and don't drink people's blood might as well be elves, IMO.

I've heard three reports of the movie from friends, all of whom said that they couldn't hear anything due to the (overwhelmingly female) audience screaming all the time. Oy.

lol, yeah. There was alot of gigling in the theater I was in. nothing particularly funny was being said, or at least that I knew of. But every 5 minutes or so, the whole theater would erupt in laughter. I thought it was something from the books that I was missing out on. but it was just people over come with aw at the sight of someone on screen and they couldn't contain it any more. And once one person squeled with glee, it was like the dams broke...

Yes i have to agree...Jasper=perfect! In the scene when Bella comes to the Cullen house for the first time...i was just thinking wow...he looks like he is in so much pain! Just like he was supposed to, I might add! Edward actually turned out to be better than I thought. I had serious doubts about him...but he turned out...ok. Not as good as i had hoped tho.
Carlisle was ok too. Bella, she played her role good(not wat i expected tho)
PERFECT ROSE! She was absolutely perfect! Jealousy and all...lol

I just saw this movie last night. My wife has read the first two books and she loved it. I really, really liked it too. If you accept that the author took liberties with what vampires are, then it isn't hard to like it. They still drink blood and there are still vampires that drink human blood. Hell, the majority still do from what I am told. We accept differences in fantasy novels readily. In Dragonlance, Ogres are horrible disgusting creatures that attack humans on sight and enslave minotaurs. Robert Jordan has them as noble creatures that are stonemasons and love trees. If you look at it that way, can you really have a problem with ehr version of vampires?

I like the way that Edward explained the vegetarian vampire thing. It's like a human vegetarian eating tofu. It'll fill you up, but you don't get satisfied.

It was a great love story. And from what I have been told, there were glaring differences with the book, but so much of it was spot on that it made it ok to have some differences.

Carmen was a little disappointed with Edward. Apparently, Stephanie Meyer made the character sooooooooo hoooooooot that no man could ever be hot enough to fill the bill. LOL

The chick that could see the future was super hot though!
