Loved the movie AND the book!!

Rating: 10/10 (30 November 2008)

I really Loved the Movie Twilight!! Now I know there were differences in the book, but you get that when you change formats from a book to the screen. Some things in the book are not as visually appealing, so you change it up for dramatic effects. I thought they did a great job considering the budget. There are things that were not in the movie that I loved in the book, but you can't have everything in the movie and still keep it at 2 hours. There is one thing that I learned when moving books into film is that you have to see it more than once. The first time you see the movie you will be comparing the movie to the book, which is only natural. The second time you see it, you will be watching the movie for the movie itself. Things tend to flow better and you can really engross yourself into the movie. I have watched the movie Twilight 7 times and LOVE it!! It is my escape, just jump into that world for awhile. I have read the book Twilight 15 times, and the rest of the series 12 times. I love the way she writes her books. There are serious parts and really funny parts. I will be reading and just start laughing and my husband wonders what is going on. It is great!! Her other book "The Host" is really good too. Just remember Edward and Bella are not in this book, so don't look for them in it. So for those of you who didn't like it and only saw it once, go see it again. Just enjoy the movie and don't pick it apart. Remember it is for entertainment, you are not getting graded on it. And enjoy the audience around you. Whether it is a group of teenage girls or a group of adults (men and women), it is a great experience that I would love to do again!!
