Compared to the Book

Rating: 9/10 (26 January 2009)

I have read all of the Twilight books and I am a huge fan, I was really excited when the movie came out. The problem is that I am kind of a perfectionist, so sitting in the theater I could not help thinking "Edward kissed Bella in the meadow not in her room" or "We don't even know about the bad vampires until the baseball scene". Throughout the entire movie I was picking out every little detail that was different from the book. I have seen the movie multiple times and I have gotten over most of these differences. But there are some things that I cannot get over no matter how many times I see the movie:
1. Bella is not even a little scared when she runs with Edward?! What is that?! I mean I could see how they want to make her look stronger but really who could jump on someone's back run at top speed through a forest and not be afraid?
2. Alice!! What happened to Alice? Where was she in all of her scenes? She wasn't in the car to make the plan to get away from James and she didn't get Bella ready for prom, she didn't even go to prom (I am also upset that Bella willing went to prom.....she would never do that!!!!)
3. The line "You're like my own personal brand of heroin" come on that line is awful it is so cheesy and why would Edward say that?
I know I sound really negative but I actually did like the movie. It is probably one of my favorite movies. The way that it makes you feel matches the book and that is completely amazing. I absolutely love this movie and I can't wait for the rest of the series to me made into movies!!!
