I am a huge Twilighter! I can't get enough!! I am counting down the days till the release of New Moon, and I check daily for any updates!! I really hope, however, that they do a better job on New Moon than they did on Twilight!!! I had read all the books, and all of the extra stuff on Stephenie Meyer's website, before I had watched the movie. I knew to not expect the movie to be like the book, because I am not silly, I know that it would be impossible to make it exactly the same. I went into the movie cinema's excited and with an open mind, and I left there extremely disappointed! I found it to be all in point form, and out of sequence. vital points and information were missed and I don't know how they will correct that in upcoming sequels. not enough kissing or the tension that goes with it, and Bella cooks!! (bet you didn't know that)
The make up artist should be forever blacklisted and not be allowed to do any more make up on any one else ever again... not even herself! In the biology scene, when Edward returns, his neck colour doesn't blend into his face... talk about unnatural makeup. Edwards, Jasper and Carlisle's makeup was the worst. And how bad were the wigs! I mean you could tell that they were wigs! it's like special effects lost 30 years in this movie! I mean really, did they even edit the movie? the visual effects and the camera angles, seriously, I think they skipped all of that all together. pre-schoolers could of done a better job!! (no offence) and what was with the scene with Bella and Charlie in the kitchen? what a waste of film!!! There are so many mistakes in the movie that it is hard to watch the movie and not be distracted by them all! I'll admit, the basic drift of it was there, but it felt wrong. Anyone who hasn't read the book wouldn't even realise that when Edward is playing the piano that that is a song that he wrote and composed for Bella, inspired by Bella!!! AAAHHHH!!! (scream) wrong!! wrong!! wrong!! yet how can you not fall in love with it! Stephenie Meyer is a genius writer, not even Catherine Hardwicke or Mellisa Rosenberg (screenplay writer) could stuff up the plot that badly! wellllll? you tell me? in summary, I am biased because I love the books/ the saga so much, that in some unbalanced way i like the movie enough to watch it again and again and again! sad, I know!
