I Avoided this Movie for 2 Years

Rating: 8/10 (8 November 2010)

because of all of the hype that surrounded it.
I wanted to wait a while before I saw it and also because I wanted to see it in my own home, not in a theater with a bunch of screaming 18 year olds.
I have to say I didn't really understand the attraction of Edward, until you really looked into his eyes and at the expressions he had on his face when he had to actually be with and smell Bella. It must be really hard to have to actually smell something you really want to eat, but can't because you love it soooo much.
After this movie was over, I have to admit I wanted to see the next installment (New Moon). Which of course I immediately went to BB to rent it.
I really would of liked to see Bella's father get a more active role in his daughter life. I mean I know, he felt that if he pushed her to hard, she would just leave like her mother did.
But sometimes, you just have to be hard on children, I mean she was in high school, which meant she wasn't 18 yet, so he did have total control over her. Like the scene when she wanted to leave Forks. The father didn't fight hard enough for her. I didn't feel she was fair to him at all, but then again she had to be mean to him, that was the only way he was going to survive.
I don't know, I still have a lot of questions I would like to ask, but hey, I'm sure they will be answered in the next two movies.
