Yupp! I went to the midnight premiere! It was amazing! I think you need to read the books before you see it. The movie will make more sense if you read the books first. Plus they are the best books you will ever read!

personally i think twilight was too over rated.
i man it wasn't THAT good


trust me i read all the books and i mean i dont see what the big deal is. the book is too dragged out and bella is all like "i love u but ur too dangerous" or "i love u but i cant be with u" or w/e it kinda makes the book a little like out there.

i mean its ok its not like i hate it alot its just i dont think its a good piece of work

not for all the attention its getting its not worth it.


but i still do want to see the movie just to see it.

even tho i read the reviews and it only got 2 1/2 stars

I saw the movie and I thought it was really good. They changed sooo much though! It kind of made me mad. It didn't really give them a chance to fall in love and there was no blood typing and all the cute and important details were just left out.

I LOVE the Twilight books, but the movie wasn't as good. The books had some pretty high standards to work up to, and the movie is never as good as the books! I think it deserved more than 2.5 stars. But I didn't really like the actors that played Bella and Edward. They could've done better casting.

I think they did good on what they did though. I mean I see what you mean for the better casting.... kinda. But as a movie it was really good! The cinematography was cool! (or at least I think)

They did a pretty good job to sticking to the book though for.... a movie. I mean they could've done worse and that book is big

It's definitely a really good movie to someone who hasn't read the books. I went with one of my friends who hasn't read it and she liked it but when it was over and me and my other friend's were talking about the changes she was like "It didn't seem like they should be in love. It didn't look like she should trust him." I think the movie focusses more on the good vs. evil then the love story. Maybe that side will come out more in the New Moon movie.

I acutally enjoyed the movie. I give it a 6.5 or a 7/10, but there is one major thing that I deff. did not like, and that was Bella.
No offense to any Kristen fans, but she did NOT embrace the part of Bella. I felt like everyone else totally was their character, but it did seem like she was acting too hard. And her voice, an annoying monotone, wasn't nearly as innocent, sweet and appealing as Bella is supposed to be!!

I feel the same way. I LOVED the guy who palyed Edward (Robert P. is hot, i don't care what you think), but bella was all wrong. Besides, on screen, I thought the two of them really didn't have great chemistry. As for the movie in general, you really can't compare it to the book. Events were added, dropped out, changed, put out of order, it was almost like a completely different story than the book. Grant it the whole a human falling in love with a vampire thing was there, but how the story was told was completely different.

P.S.
I love how jasper only had one line in the ENTIRE movie. He's one of my favorite chanracters. I was a little upset.
