Loved the movie! After I watched it several times...

Rating: 9/10 (1 December 2008)

I went with a bunch of teenagers to see the flick. I tried very hard not to compare it to the book but that's never really possible. The first time I saw it I couldn't help but notice all the things the were different or oddly done. But I also couldn't help but love the choices in actors.
Due to several different groups of students wanting to see the movie at different times I had to see it three times in one day. This was oddly enough a good thing because with each viewing I stopped thinking about the book and started to appreciate the film more and more. There are still things about the movie that I would dearly love to be changed. The meadow scene, 99% of the special effects...things like that. But the overall FEEL of the film is the romance and the magic that I was hoping for.
The actors really became the characters for the book in more ways than I can describe. I'm curious as to how they will handle the next book though. So many things change in that plot that it will take some major readjustments of the story, I thing, to make it work.
To wrap up--Twilight is a hit that I can't wait to see again and own...especially if they will be releasing an 'uncut' version!
