I loved this movie!

Rating: 10/10 (9 December 2009)

The first time I saw this movie I did like it, but I wasn't sure if the characters they chose were the right ones, or if the variations from the book were a good thing, and I wasn't sure how I felt about some of the acting. It took until the 4th time I saw it before I loved it! I decided that yeah, they changed and added some things, but some of those additions were a good thing like having James and his coven all through the movie rather then in the book where they just show up and then they kill James a chapter or 2 later. That always kind of bugged me.
If you read the movie companion, you'll find out just how difficult it was for them to even get this movie made. That helped me appreciate what we got! Check it out...it's very interesting!
I wish they would have had her talk in her sleep and some other things, but do all the variations and stuff they left out really matter? I don't think so. And some things work for a book but don't work for a movie, so you have to look at the movie and book as 2 different things really. You can enjoy them both even if you'll just give the movie a real chance. Like me...it took 4 times before I loved it. It might take you a while, but I think given time you'll love it! If you don't, you're just cheating yourself out of something amazing!
I saw this movie more times then I've ever seen any movie in the theater, and I plan on topping that with New Moon!
