Just let go, and enjoy.

Rating: 9/10 (21 November 2008)

I went into this not expecting the book, every one of my favorite books that have been made into movies never compare. Northanger abbey, per say. Saying that though does not make the movies better or worse then the book. It's just another way to tell a story. Twilight did that. Told this love story in a different way. You know that giraffe in the room illustration...every one describes it different...this is just another view of the giraffe. No it was not as descriptive as the books, some scenes, some quotes, were not the same but the point of it all came across well though. These two creatures are being pulled to each other, and they can not stop it. The way the scenes were shot made me feel like this was real, like I could walk into a school and yep there could be vampire. If it had been some great big budget film with grand effects, it would have felt corny, fake. Don't get me wrong, this movie was still a little cheesy, little sugary, but that was the same with the book...it's a great story. I think if you go into the movie not expecting everything just like the book, you'll enjoy. The ideas are the same. Don't nit pick, because you'll just miss Edwards smile Rob did very well. I was surprised the jittery, yet adorable, Rob Patterson was able to play graceful quiet Edward, but the first moment he smiled he was Edward. Kristen was amazing as Bella, there really is a connection between her and Rob, and it makes the scenes that much more enjoyable and real. Ashley as Alice, was perfect, and the chemistry between her and Jason/Jasper was also amazing, the small things they did such as her touching his arm, really showed them as a couple. I can't wait to see more of their story in the future. I think if you watch some of the small details throughout the movie, you will see more then you think is there just look. The rest of the cast was amazing, and though at first i wasn't sure how anyone could play Rosalie, Nikki did a great job. All I'm saying is, it's worth seeing, as long as you know how to let go of the book, and see this through someone's eyes other then your own. Just let go, don't think, and enjoy a great movie. I hope to see the other made in the same fashion.
