It could have been better, but still great :]

Rating: 8/10 (23 November 2008)

the movie was pretty good, but there it was no where near perfect. they changed too many things and it didn't follow the book in a lot of parts, which is understandable since the book is so long, but they still changed a lot of things that they should have left alone, they had a lot of things in the wrong places and at the wrong time, and they took out or changed parts that i found especially important . i mean, hello, Bella meets Jacob in la push, they didn't know each other from before. and i don't remember them going in to the water considering its like 55 degrees. what happened to when Jacob was telling her the story about his tribe and the cold ones? they really rushed through that part, in the book its much more detailed. and what about chapter 5 (blood type)? i was really looking forward to that and having Edward carry Bella to the nurse. and then the Port Angeles scene was wrong, and so was the drive back. on the way back is when Bella asks him how old he is, not in the woods. i also pictured the scene when Edward took her to his house way differently, and i pictured the actual house a lot different too. what happened to when Edward was telling her about Carlisle's past in his office, and when he plays the lullaby was way different in the book because all the Cullens were there and Esme is the one that tells Bella that Edward has musical talent. and what was up with him taking her into the trees and stuff? and what about the meadow? that was way different in the book. they WALKED there at Bella's pace, it wasn't until the way back that Edward runs. and their first kiss was in the meadow too, not in Bella's room with her in underwear. and what happened to her sitting with Edward the day after he saves her? what about Bella cooking for Charlie? and Bella ditches Alice and jasper at the airport, not from the hotel, and she goes to her house first, not directly to the ballet studio. and Victoria at the prom? i mean, come on. however, considering that it was based on a book, it was a great movie. the movies are never as good as the books. what i liked was that Charlie was pretty funny (like when Edward first goes to his house and he's like loading the rifle), and her mom was funny too (are you being safe?!) and mike was awesome, like when he's like dancing or something outside the window while Charlie and Bella were eating. the actors were HOT, and the girls were really pretty. the fighting scene was awesome, it was just like i pictured it, and they prom was great too (except for Victoria at the end). overall, i give it an 8 out of 10.
