Twilight was a great movie. I had watched it before reading the novel though. The novel was definitely ten times better and I'm usually not the type to read. After seeing Twilight with a friend who had read the novel, I knew it was a necessity to read it. I thought the movie was great, but she was disappointed. At first, I couldn't understand why she would have felt this way. Then a read it. I do like the movie a lot, but it missed key points, including the biology blood test lab, and Bella's lullaby. Major events were missed, but i guess there wouldn't be time to put everything in. The acting was phenomenal. I think the directors did great picking out the Cullens. Even though some weren't what i imagined them looking like, they played the part well and changed my opinion. Robert Pattinson was my favorite actor. At first, he wasn't as good looking as the book intended, but after watching the movie again, after i read it and seeing the romance and chivalry, i immediately fell in love. So, I would recommend this movie to anyone, and it isn't just a chick flick either. It involves action, gore, and anticipation, which could appeal a guy too. I went with two guys, and surprisingly they liked it. I thought they would fall asleep. Oh, and if you want your man to be more romantic and proper, bring him to see it and say how much you would love to have a guy like Edward.
