Different, but still met my needs

Rating: 8/10 (21 November 2008)

OK- so I was a little irritated that the movie was different from the book. In my opinion, I compare it to Harry Potter a little bit and most of those movies were pretty spot on. HOWEVER, I enjoyed every second of it.
I'm almost 24 and went with two of my friends: one in their early twenties also and another that is in her thirties. Yes- we were probably the oldest in the theater for the 12am showing besides parents of teeny-boppers. You better believe we clapped and squealed just like the kids. Edward's character will NOT disappoint. He's not quite as chivalrous and polite as he is in the book, but he's still so ridiculous good looking that you'll get chills every time he comes into view.
Production value was so-so, plot didn't completely follow the story line, and it seemed as though it was a very brief summary of the book. Otherwise, it would have gotten a ten for sheer beauty factor.
Don't get me wrong- I still thought it was great. But in comparison to movies like any of the Harry Potter (the books are just as long as Twilight) I was left wanting more detail.
Whatever. I'm going again today just to squeal for and giggle every time the Cullens come into view.
