My Twilight Review!

Ok so finally the awaited day has come and gone. I watched twighlight at midnight with my sisters and it was a packed theatre full of anxious twilight fans. Finally after 20 minutes of previews and commercials, the movie started. Not twilight, but Madagascar 2! Lol. What a buzz killer! I can't believe the theatre didn't have one seat open for the most anticipated movie of the year and they didn't even remember to put in the right film. Anyway, I went into the theater with mixed feelings on what the movie would be like. I guess it was exactly what I expected. I didn't love it, but didn't hate it. Whenever someone decides to make a movie inspired by a brilliant book, it never is as great as the book. The book just totally sucks you into the amazing story line and the characters. The movie didn't develop that, no not so much! If you did not read the book before you watched the movie, you would think most of America or world for that matter is insane because of all the hype! One thing I can really say is that I loved the acting, especially with the main characters-Edward and Bella! They both have such a wonderful talent. I've got to admit when Stephanie Meyer first released who would be playing the characters on her website, I was soooo disappointed in the choice for Edward....but, I fell in love with Robert Pattinson as Edward from the moment I watched him walk into the lunch room. He played Edward as this Romeo, James Dean, Heathcliff and Brad Pitt all rolled into one. He is absolutely beautiful. Did I just say all that? Lol. Kristen Stewart was a fantastic Bella, perfect in every way. A very simple and plain looking girl, but with this undertone beauty just like the book. I love the books but the director did not even begin to capture the magic in them. Overall it was fun and entertaining.

  1. I feel the exactly the same way. Fabian enjoyed the movie, but he didn't read the books so he had no expectations going into it.

  2. Hi Leti! Im not sure if Im even supposed to be writing on your blog spot but I just couldnt resist! Simply because I watched the movie today and I thought it was great! No, I didnt read the book and had an earful from my sister and all her children about how much better the book is but lahdeedah... two thumbs up here! And being as there seems to be alot of disappointed readers about the movie I dont think I intend on reading any of the books. LOL.... but yeah great movie it had humor, romance, action and some thriller. Thanks for letting me share my review! *ruby*

  3. Jenn, I can't believe you got Fabian to watch it with you. I tried with Uela but didn't work. We need to get together soon.

    Ruby, I'm glad you are on here. I was trying to get into your blog but no luck. Well maybe it was better that you didn't read the book-no long nights awake, avoiding your husband and reading! Hahaha I know Uela's glad I'm done with those books. Lol. I really don't understand those who have read it more than once.

  4. It was date night and my turn to choose, so he didn't have a choice.

    We do need to get together, if your hubby works on Saturday's you should come over with your little one and hang out with Nico and me while Fabian is at work.
