Twilight Review

So, I went to the midnight showing of Twilight. The crowd was mostly teenage or younger girls and their moms. As soon as the movie started they were squealing, which I expected. When Edward first appeared, there was a gasp, and I am pretty sure the girl infront of me cried (shows how crazy these fans are). I am sure that most people in the audience had read the book because you could hear whispers before each big scene. I didn't have high expectations for the movie because I knew nothing would compare to reading the book with all the details and my own interpretation.

The movie was definitely not as good as the book, but it was a pretty good try. The story followed the book closely, but didn't go as in depth because of time. There were funny parts, dramatic parts, and action scenes. There were a bunch of corny parts that I laughed at, which weren't meant to be funny, but that is why the book is so good, it's a sappy, over dramatic love story. The acting was really good, but at times maybe a little over done. I felt like if you hadn't read the book, you wouldn't understand some parts in the movie because they aren't explained, but it is still worthwhile and it might encourage people to read the book. It also left you wanting more, and we will be getting more when New Moon comes out in the future. The movie hit the mark for it's target audience, but everyone else may not feel the same way. All in all, I liked it and am planning on seeing it again. I would recommend it to other Twilight fans or people wanting to get into the series.

I can't wait for the next one!

Let me know your thoughts if you see it!

p.s. I am planning on seeing Role Models soon, so that review will be coming!

The Forbidden Fruit Tastes the Sweetest

This is definitely the movie that I am most excited to write about on here. If you haven't heard of the Twilight series, i'm sorry to say, but you must be living under a rock.

Here's a little plot synopsis:

TWILIGHT is an action-packed, modern-day love story between a vampire and a human. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother remarries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn’t expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she’s ever met. Intelligent and witty, he sees straight into her soul. Soon, Bella and Edward are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance. Edward can run faster than a mountain lion, he can stop a moving car with his bare hands — and he hasn’t aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he’s immortal. But he doesn’t have fangs, and he doesn’t drink human blood; Edward and his family are unique among vampires in their lifestyle choice. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for — a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will Edward and Bella do when James (Cam Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi) and Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre), the Cullens’ mortal vampire enemies, come to town, looking for her?

I have never read a book and then seen the movie, so it will be interesting to see how the characters are interpreted onto the big screen and what was changed or not included from the book.

The Twilight series has a huge following which will result in a huge opening for the movie. Over the next few years, we will definitely be seeing the other 3 books come to theaters.

If you go see it, let me know what you thought!
