I'm Hooked

Rating: 10/10 (26 November 2008)

I went to see this movie with NO intentions of enjoying it. Up until this point I'd only seen the trailers and hadn't read any of the books...I am an avid fan of True Blood - full of sex and blood...True Blood was for adults, and Twilight is for silly teen girls....I went to see the movie out of boredom. I came out of it hooked and ridiculously obsessed. I came home and read the book, and appreciated the movie even more. I was surprised with how closely it followed the book, almost verbatim, with the exception of some very long conversations that might have been good to include but their omission certainly didn't ruin the movie. The chemistry between Edward and Bella in the movie was electrifying, and the awkward conversations between them develop the intensity of the relationship. Pattinson and Stewart were amazing casting choices, and after reading the book I can't think of any other actors who would have been better in any of the movie's roles. There are so many amazing things I can say about it, too many for now. I am going to see it again in a couple days, watching it twice and reading the book may not even be enough. I can't wait for New Moon to be put into production!!
