I've seen the movie Twilight many, many times. Granted I work at a movie theater and can watch whatever I want as much as I want. But I CHOOSE to go in to see Twilight every single time over all the big named movies that have come out since Twilight's premiere last month.
I don't agree with some of the comments comparing Twilight to Harry Potter. I know both book series backwards and forwards (and many others, I read A lot!), the comparisons are going to come #1-both are beloved book series and #2-because Robert Pattinson is in both movies.
I love both of these book series, they are well thought out and sometimes take you in directions that you weren't expecting which is awesome! And the plots and character are all solid.
The thing for me though, is that I felt that Twilight (the movie) really encompasses the heart and soul of the book. There were some differences - of course - you can't go word for word when adapting a book to the big screen, but I still always feel that big **SIGH** when the movie Twilight is over and I can't wait to go see it again.
On the other hand the Harry Potter movies are entertaining, yes, but I've come out of each movie feeling the "Lacking" for what the book represents. The HP movies could be so much better...I just feel that there's a missing piece.
I've discussed both book series and movies with friends who've also read the books and seen the movies and even a couple who've not read the books but have seen the movies, and have found overwhelmingly that they agree with my assessment.
