the brain..agree with you but also with all the hipe from the movie and the nonstop posting of the same Twilight question, seen the same posted 5 times on the main page asking the same question, i say anything is better than this.

You think if people wanted to know if this movie was any good they look at the other 4 questions just like it to see what was posted.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Too early to tell myself as the theaters are not open for another 7 hours, but the reviews are just under 50% positive - if you go by reviews.

Answer 4

Answer 5

It was a lot of fun -- I went to the midnight showing last night, filled with screaming teenagers and the low-20s crowd. It was really funny when the "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" preview came on -- it was suitably grey and gloomy to open, and everyone thought the movie was starting and some girls started screaming -- then everyone started giggling when they realized it was the HP trailer!

The movie followed the book almost perfectly, with a few deviations that were true to the spirit of the book. Bella was suitably klutzy, Mike was sufficiently star-struck by Bella, Jessica and Angela were perfect, as was Jacob and Charlie and the rest of Forks.

The Cullens, though -- hmm. Robert Pattison's hair was SO distracting! I had imagined a carelessly windswept, off the forehead look for him, not that weird James-Dean-wannabe look they inflicted on him. Carlise looked young enough to be Edward's younger brother. Rosalie was *****-perfect, we didn't get nearly enough of a sense of Alice's playful nature, Emmet was just about right, and Jasper walked around like he had a poker shoved up his rear.

The visit to the Cullen home was great, and actually better than the book. Edward and Bella walk into the house as the Cullens are frantically preparing an Italian meal in the kitchen, "because with a name like Bella, she's probably Italian, right?" murmers one of them. Carlisle later ruefully admits that it's the first time the kitchen has been used. Later, they walk by a large piece of fabric wall art, and Bella realizes that it's made up of dozens and dozens of mortarboards, from numerous graduations, arranged artfully in color groups -- it's Edward's chance to explain that "the younger they are when then go to a place, the longer they can stay."

James, Laurent and Victoria were about perfect, and the scene in the ballet studio was by-the-book, with the addition of a few dream-like sequences that Bella catches out of the corner of her eye as the Cullens "take care of" James.

One of the funniest scenes is at the beginning, when Bella first meets Edward in Biology. She walks by a fan, that blows her scent straight at Edward -- and his reaction is priceless. Eyes wide, his hand flies up over his mouth as if to keep from gagging, and he is rude in his obvious avoidance of her -- the entire audience is laughing, because we know what he's thinking. I'm not sure that someone who hadn't read the books would have understood it as well, though. He plays the conflicted Edward very well, but I have to admit, his voice doesn't send silk shivers up my spine. Plus, I was very disappointed that "Bella's lullaby" didn't really show up as such -- we have a shot of Edward playing the piano, but no sense that the song is special, that he composed it, etc.

The prom was funny, even though Bella was severely underdressed in a blue rag of a dress. The only odd note was Victoria lurking in attic, watching Edward and Bella with a feral gleam in her eye. The movie ended on a fade-out with Victoria smirking -- obviously a lead-in to a sequel.

All in all, it was a fun two hours!

Answer 6

Answer 7

If u are a true Twilight fan, which means reading the books more then ones, almost know it by heart, then u probably envisioned the movie way before talks surfaced that they were going to make one.

I really really hated the movie. I understand that movies will never be like the books and well we can only hope that it can capture at least the essence, but please, this rendition of a book turned movie is just awful!!! How can in the 1st 15 min of the film they be proclaiming their love!I know with movie u have to work at the speed of light, but at least make it so that us the audience can feel their emotions, how slowly there love is growing out of curiosity from each other.

Most of the best parts from the book was having them bickering all the time, the small arguments, him always trashing her truck, his nonchalant ways, his beautiful speeches where u could tell he was way beyond his years,her clumsiness in every step she would take(We only got to see her fall ones,and the hitting on the head to one of her gym classmates) I mean these small details would of given allot of meaning to the movie, and would of not taken allot of time in the movie.

Can I say way too much lipstick on Edward and not enough on Bella(lol) and what's with the legging in the prom scene!?? She was supposed to wear at least one stilettos and other foot in a cast, that would of been allot more humorous then having her walk in a cast, plus a sneaker and that weird legging that did not fit in anywhere!!!

But there is a ray of light on this shadow of darkness: I LOVED CHARLIE!!!if he would of come out more on the film, it would of been saved and the little times I got to c Erick were great. Those too are the only ones that made me smile through out the movie.

All in all please skip the movie, read the books and pray that for the sequal a better production company is picked, maybe better directors, that can actually use special effects for all the parts the werewolf’s will come out and better acting on both the leads part.

Sorry if I offended anyone but we all have our right to our own opinions and this is mine
