I''m really dreading seeing the movie.
I read all of the books (we literally drove all the way across the city so I could find a copy of Eclipse) earlier this semester. And then I read them each about 5 more times. So, needless to say I''m entrenched in the story and the characters, and the movie just can''t live up to that. And what I''ve seen in the previews, I''m incredibly unimpressed.
And I think Kristen Stewart has the look of Bella, but her voice doesn''t work for me.
And every other book that has been made into a movie has seriously depressed me. They just can''t take what is in my head and put it on screen. The only exception is Harry Potter-the look of every single one of the movies is exactly what was in my head. But Jurassic Park?
So I''m expecting to be very disappointed, because even what I''ve seen in the previews has been different from what was in the book.
And, I really didn''t like Breaking Dawn. I think she lost me with that book. I think she lost Bella with that book.
Oh, and Team Edward all the way. Jacob is a doosh. (In my rereads, I skipped over most of New Moon because I dislike Jacob so much.)
I''m going to go see what Rotten Tomatoes has to say about it...
My sister went to the midnight showing and she pretty much said these exact same things. She was very disappointed. I have read the first 2 books, but I haven''t had a chance to read the others. I hope to do so over Thanksgiving or Christmas and then I''ll see the movie at the $ Theater once it gets there rather than spend the regular price if it isn''t that great.Date: 11/21/2008 7:22:42 PM

I saw the midnight showing...I was horribly disappointed. Terrible acting for one, and I could go on and on and on.
The ending didn''t suck so bad though, it was alright compared to the rest of the movie.
Overall, I didn''t have high expectations for the movie...but if I was Stephanie Meyer...I would have done something had I known this movie would be this terrible. I''m hoping that IF they can make NEW MOON, that the actors take lessons, and the special effects are better, oh and the story line isn''t so hard to follow. I mean, come on! How can someone who didn''t read the books understand HOW these 2 fell in love?
Sorry, needed to vent.
The books were great. Read all 4 in 2 days.
Plus side: Edward is a hunk.
A huge ? I have is....how come there was sparkling noises when Edward went into the sunlight...I mean really?
Oh! Alice is adorable though! Although Jasper...he is really kinda creepy...like edwards sissor hands or something...idk
I was expecting more of Mr. Cullen as well. He was good looking, but he looked like a blond vampire. I know that is what he is, but he looked like dracula.
Okay, done now!
I think Breaking Dawn was hit or miss. It tied the story up into a neat little bow, but the whole Nessie thing did NOT sit well with me. And I''m thinking that I didn''t like it that much because so much of the book was Jacob''s drama/BS. I really don''t like Jacob that much and I don''t think he did much for Bella''s character. Something felt very forced about their relationship in New Moon and beyond. I liked him ok in Twilight, but after that...Date: 11/22/2008 3:00:53 AM

I really loved Breaking Dawn, it was one of my favourites, I really thought it was typically Bella.
Has anyone read the unofficial version of Midnight Sun? I still have not got around to it I am debating on waiting for the real book to come out apparently it is BRILLIANT.

I have read the unofficial version of Midnight Sun, and to be brutally honest, it didn''t do much for me. It''s like reading Twilight, only some parts are from Edward''s point of view. Nothing incredibly revealing, nothing out of the ordinary. It''s very predictable (that would seem obvious, but the book has been hyped so much, you would think something would be new and unusual about it, but it''s not) and it seemed like it was written at an even younger age than the first 4. Now granted, maybe that''s part of her writing process, but it wasn''t appealing. I would have preferred that she delve into Tanya''s clan a bit if she wanted to stay within some of the story constraints that she had already built. So color me unimpressed.
Having said that, I''ll still buy it when it comes out.
I had the chance to go see it last night, and I turned it down...
