Twilight - Definitely see more than once

Rating: 7/10 (23 November 2008)

When I saw the movie for the first time (Friday) I was disappointed because I had high expectations for it to be exactly like the book. I took someone else's advice and saw it a 2nd time (the next day) with my teenage daughters. Lving at home our former expectations, we went to the theater just to enjoy a sweet romantic movie and left thoroughly happy. Seeing it for the 2nd time, made a difference. So my advice to Twilighters out there is that if you didn't like it the first time, go and see it again only leave behind your high expectations. Stephanie Meyer's story left big shoes to fill and it is difficult to accomplish with a short amount of film/edit time and a small budget. Unfortunately time will be of the essence when filming the remaining stories because vampires can not age. Because of that I do hope that they get more funding to help with the staffing and effects and finally the romantic side of me hopes that Kristen Stewart gets a little more convincing when it comes to showing Bella's intense love for Edward (i.e. stop looking down and blinking when you are talking to him). All in all, the movie is entertaining and worth seeing again.
