I'm so excited for this movie!!!! I get to see it tomorrow!!! I don't care what some 50 year old critics say about the movie!!!! They've never read the book!!!
I saw this movie last night, and i cannot believe how horrible it was. I love the books, and i've read all of them. I'm a huge twilight fan..but that movie was poorly made. They took out all of the little things that made the book good. & the chemistry between kirsten and robert didnt work for me.
Im sorry for all the devoted fans that say otherwise, but this movie could have been 100x better.
I know its main audience is teenage girls, but i'm 17 and there wasn't one part in the movie that redeemed itself.
The movie was HORRENDOUS! for multiple reasons:
1) What ever happened to Bella's worrying of Rosalie? Usually, she's obsessively asking Edward whether Rosalie has it in for her. Where was that?
2) Jessica, Laura and Bella? A little catfight would be nice. Make the plot a lot more juicy. Where WAS Laura to begin with?
3) That wig on Taylor Lautner was disastrous! FAIL!
4) Robert Pattinson looked like he needed to use the bathroom for the whole movie.
5) There was NO chemistry between Edward and Bella in the movie. And that's what made the book so good.
6) What was with Robert always looking away from Kristen? He kept disconnecting and it made the scene just people spitting out words. No eye contact.
7) The sparkles were so juvenile. If you were to step outside with the sparkles they put on him people wouldn't think you were a vampire. They would think you were some deliquent running out the house with a bucket full of glitter thrown on your body.
8) The prom scene was to die in laughter.
9) I LOVE ALICE. But the way they potrayed her in the movie was disastrous. She acted like a five year old. Or a hippie? Something that was not Alice.
10) Jasper? What was with his eyes?
11) I find it pretty sad that Carlisle was hotter than Edward.
12) The fight between Edward and James was confusing. And the burning of James. When they were burning him in the background they seemed like they were dancing around the fire like some deranged Indian.
13) If they burnt him in the dance studio wouldn't the dance studio be on fire?
14) Where was the sitting with Edward at lunch and the tension with Jessica's insane jealousy, Rosalie's pure hatred and the family's concern? That would have at least made it interesting!
This is all i have for now but I might have more.
This movie was utterly terrible!!
As a devoted fan who loves the books I was so excited for the movie. It was, to say the least, tragic. No chemistry between Edward and Bella, terrible screenwriting, and AWFUL interpretation of the book. Wrong, Wrong, Wrong!! Save yourself the trouble. Stick to the books.
i loved the book and saw the movie lastnight, i hated it. They missed some of the important things like how breathtakingly beautiful edward was. They missed the whole getting to know eachother chapters and they skipped edwards song. They didnt show the history of alice and carsile. The times edward and bella were together were never happy, they were actually extremely ackward and hard. edward looked very very good though :], but all together it was cheesy and had bad side effects
Hahaha, you know what's funny about what all the critics have to say? You're older than ancient Ejypt. Seriously, there's so many adults out there that can appreciate a movie or a book that isn't as perfect paramount as Babel and what not. It's about the story, not about the studio perfected effects and oscar worthy acting, it's about the story that IS Twilight, it may be very unrealistic but that's sort of the point. Let your imagination get away with you. Nice job to all the greasy criters by the way, you get paid to be an anus and voice your no good opinion to all the other 70 year olds out there. :)
It wasn't even terrible, the reason all the 14 year olds are saying that is because it wasn't the book and they went in with too high expectations, 70% of the fans absolutely adored it.
I am a Huge Twilight fan! I loved all of the books and even felt that they changed my life. With that said, I absolutely hated the movie!! It was awful. The acting was awful and they did not do the book justice at all. There was zero chemistry between Edward and Bella. They didn't even act like they liked each other! I was so disappointed. I really felt like Hollywood could have done a better job with such a fantastic book. It was poorly done and it was obvious that the creators had a very small budget. The book was slaughtered. They added scenes that never took place and removed scenes that were very important. I think another studio should get a shot at remaking it and doing it some justice.
People need to keep an open mind. They had a small budget, they worked hard. It may not have been 'the book' but really, the independent film did fantastic with the limitations it was given. Remember, this is all from Bella's perspective. We may have pictured Edward one way, but Kristen chose Robert for her partner, she felt chemistry and it worked for them. I was just pleased to have some visual to all that I had read. I think using your imagination and giving some room to not fit some hollywood version of perfect is a good idea. This story wasn't hollywood...it was raw and real and powerful. That's why we all loved it so much.
I kind of liked it, but Edward needed to act a bit more, it felt like he just said the words and very little acting with them. Even a little more conversations would of be nice between Edward and Bella. Other then that i thought it was pretty good. I do think it could be a little bit longer and fit some other stuff in there as well, like the blood testing in lab. I wanted to see the face Mike would make when Edward took Bella to the nurse.
I saw the movie with my two daugters 14 and 25 and we all loved it! If you read the books and watched the movie all you had to do was use your imagination! Use what you read and now what you can see in the movie! We wanted to go back the next day. So it wasnt perfect but it was twilight! We loved robert and he and bella had so much chemistry, you could only wish some boy would look at you that way! I can bet my bottom dollar you will search for the rest of your life and never find someone like that!
Ok, I am a thirty-something mother of two and I absolutely LOVE the books (maybe I have a young adolescent girl inside me secretly admiring Edward- who knows). I can only praise Stephenie Meier for her imagination and creative wit. I actually read all four books in one week and upon which, I could hardly wait the 1 1/2 months for the movie to debut. But I was quite disappointed!
Although the movie company was on a tight budget, I felt that so much was missing in the movie and it lost its appeal to me. Perhaps it needed to be longer for proper character development – what about the explanation of the Volturi and Alice wasn’t the only other Cullen family member other than Edward with a special ability – what about Jasper, who actually creped me out in the movie – he appeared to be in a psychotic state during the film.
What about the blood typing scene, which never was mentioned in the film? I felt like that was an important event in the book with Edward sweeping Bella off her feet and it revealed Edward’s and Mike’s jealousy over Bella. That was completely missing from the film. The van scene was defiantly underplayed in the movie – Kristen didn’t even portray Bella hitting her head – how then could we believe she may have had a concussion like what Edward was trying to convince her of?
Robert is a handsome man but makeup was too obvious with so many close-up shots and he portrayed Edward improperly. It seemed as if he had constipation throughout 2/3rds of the movie, which was quite distracting an annoying. I don't want to put Robert down as I know I could not act myself, however, he lacked that special something, perhaps the charm and charisma of Edward – simply stated, he was not Edward, period.
Another annoying scene in the film is where Edward and Bella kiss- that was soooo outrageous and comedic!!! But probably the most important element missing in the film was Edward’s promise to Bella that he would never leave her – (so long as it is what's best for her), which is the prelude to New Moon. He only promised her he would never leave her, while she was in the hospital.
Finally, the finite things like Billy Black driving the truck - how could he drive - he's in a wheelchair -Jacob always drove in the book. And what about Kristen's prom outfit - how could Bella have worn the spandex pants under her dress with a cast on her leg?
My final judgment, Stephanie Meyer is a genius, like J.K. Rawlings. However, unlike the first two Harry Potter films, Twilight the movie failed the creative work miserably. I can only hope that Stephenie Meyer decides to finish her Midnight Moon novel and we can see 'Twilight' through the Eyes of Edward with the funding needed to produce a film to its utmost potential. I say the producers have to do soooo much better, for die hard fans like myself, with New Moon or the marketing for any additional Twilight Saga movies is just a waste of money.
I just got one thing to say, I live in a small town so the worst part about it is, I havent got to see twilight yet and I made the dumb mistake to come and see what the reviews on here were. When I saw the previews it looked like a great movie. I have read all 4 of the books and one thing everyone has to remember befor you start completely tearing the movie apart is you cant put everything that is in the book in a movie you might have wanted everything in there and I know I would have liked to have everthing in there, but its not gonna happen its HOLLYWOOD people, if they dont think something in the book will work in the film then they arent gonna put it in there. one comment was about Bella continuosly askin bout Rosalie and where she stands so to speak..... well if you read the book you know where that stands and this movie was made for the fans you dont need to see her say that 100 times so forget that.I havent seen the movie yet but I will it dont come out here till the 29th, but seriously give the movie a break like I said look at what Stephanie Meyer said about the movie 'this movie was made for the fans'. Therefore read in between the lines you already know the story and they took the things that stood out from the book and put it in the movie cuz thats what they do in movies. Lighten up, no movie is a bad movie just bad critics and for those of you with the issue about the critics take a look in the mirror. and also in the book the 1st book Edward had a hard time being around Bella even when they were together he didnt start really getting completely comfortable till the end of New Moon!!!!! it was easier for him to hold her and touch her. Twighlight is the beginning not BREAKING DAWN.... really if you dont remember stuff like that then read the book again he showed more in his eyes that he cared in the book then his actions. Bad critics thats all some of you are putting down a good thing cuz you didnt like that certain subjects were left out..... seriously I am 25 years old and I have seen movies I downright hated but have the deepest respect for trying. Oh one more thing they said in the book that his skin shined like millions of small diamonds well they cant exactly tape diamonds all over him now can they.... really people if your a true fan lighten up and be happy that you were at least around to see this movie made.... cuz now your part of history. Like Edward
Edward promised that he wouldnt leave her it was what was best for her correct but Again you have read the book you know that you only need to hear it once in the movie.... and besides he sincerely doesnt promise much till the end of NEW MOON
Edward promised that he wouldnt leave her it was what was best for her correct but Again you have read the book you know that you only need to hear it once in the movie.... and besides he sincerely doesnt promise much till the end of NEW MOON
Edward promised that he wouldnt leave her it was what was best for her correct but Again you have read the book you know that you only need to hear it once in the movie.... and besides he sincerely doesnt promise much till the end of NEW MOON
I downloaded it from last night here Downloadanystuff.org. Just searched for the movie and got download links in
'Shared files' category. Totally amazing actually really liked it a lot! i LOVED it! haha! it was good! but the book was really amazing, and of course the movie didn't live up to the book 100% but like no movie really can,(which i saw the preview for that and i must say i'm very excited Hermione's hair is bushy again!) anyways, it was fast! but Jasper 'the one who looks like he's always in pain' lol! loved that part and Charlie was amazing!
Wow I never felt so stupid to go to a movie.... it sucked big time....where the hell did the plot even go. They seemed to through that out the window.. Charlie’s personality was nothing what it said in the book and all the chemistry was messed. I understand you have to change some things when making a movie but not the whole dame plot line.... Bella's personality was even different from the book. The actors... well they sucked. I was all excited because I thought Patterson was gorgeous but he acting was soooooo horrendous his looks kind of disappeared after I witnessed them. My poor boyfriend had to sit there the whole time, the poor thing.
I hated the movie. loved the books, they were amazing but the movie was ridiculous in so many ways. Im not even looking foward to the second movie (if there is one). I cant believe they made it so corny!. That is 2 hours of my life that i wont get back. They were horrible actors. They need a better director and actors.
Haha funny because what is shown in the movie is exactly what i felt while reading the books. Lol! it’s incredibly funny because fangirls who loved the books and E/B in the book, are saying the exact same things about the movie the book haters said about the book! that’s hilarious.
Edward/bella are definitely dull and cheesy. Both in book and movie. There’s no life to their relationship, and i’m not making a stupid joke, it’s just the truth. I don’t mean to say I hate E/B, just stating what i felt. The best thing they have is that their romantic dialogue can actually sound romantic instead of cheesy in the context, and that the vividness which Bella describes her feelings for Edward are felt by the reader. Oh, and that Meyer sets up these great things: romantic meadow, lovely sweeping-off- from Edward, vampire-human lust... But as an actual pairing?? As just two people rather than fated true lovers?? Taking of all the ornaments? Boo. I don’t think they have all that much chemistry, at all. Yeah, bella *tells* us the “electric passion” between them, but i never truly felt it. I just fell for it because Bella kept repeating and repeating and repeating, until the CONSTANT repeating only made me realise how stupid everything is, instead of dazzling me.
i'm pretty sure the book tension between e/b would have looked more or less like this from the outside, but bella's flowery, over-written lovey-dovey falacies made you go 'awww', even if you were conscious (like me) of all the bad points. but here?? only the bad points show. such a pity. i feel sorry for e/b'ers.
that may explain why Jacob and bella had more chemistry in the movie. i always thought they had more natural chemistry together, but bella isn't constantly describing the passionate torrent of love between them. even when e/b are just looking at each other, bella goes 'edward looked at me, my heart pounded', 'we could speak without words, because our love found each other and words were not needed anymore. The whole world had stopped, it was just us, forever and ever'. seriously, how can THAT be portrayed into a film? The chemistry is told, not actually shown. E/B, from the outside, just don't work. E/B just works when we're inside bella's head.
OMG, i loved the movie, it did not read the books but i think i will now because of the movei. i really wanted them to have sex or something i felt no love between the 2 main characters. but over all i loved it.
I'm a Twilight Saga fan and I was too excited for this movie to come out. Obviously, I was prepared for disappointment because no book turned to a movie is as good as the book. But, WOW! As other comments have said, there was no chemistry between Edward and Bella (aka the reason the books were written and why we love them so much). Words to sum up the movie: awkward, random, corny, soap-opera-like, and disappointing. The filmakers did a great job at capturing the outlining points in the plot, but there was NOTHING in the middle! Rob and Kristen's acting needed to be turned down a couple watts - they overacted...alot..to the point of laughing. (I was laughing at things that weren't supposed to be funny the whole time!). So all in all, it was a failure, because, if someone who didn't read the books went to go see this movie, they would be like 'Why do you guys like these books so much? I don't get it...'
But since I'm such a big fan, I still say I like it to defend the efforts a little and when it's available to buy I defiantly will! Let's just all cross our fingers that New Moon is better!
I love the book, but the movie is a disaster. Everything went very fast. I mean they fell in love instantly .Hello?.
If someone out there want to watch the movie, I recommend that you read the book first because you will not understand it at all. I didn't expect it to be very good but I didn't expect it to be that horrible.
*sigh*
Seriously, after having such low expectations i actually didn't think i would enjoy the film.
okay so the movie the C h e e s y (and i mean like Cheetos Cheesy!),
and the acting needs some work (kristens sputtering),
and the the film was obviously on a low budget ( edward glittering was more like edward with little adhesive rhinestones on him),
and the makeup was a little off ( carlisle's obvious paleness and jacob's wig..pretty disastrous) but despite all of this, I was actually laughing throughout the whole film. (like the character's facial expressions especially when edward first smell's bella and also when billy gives edward the evil eye and vice versa and i loved how Charlie and Emmett's characters were portrayed!)
I mean seriously, if you are a Twilight Fan, and you've seen the trailers, you need to know not to get too hyped up about it, that way you won't criticize it as much. but knowing that the film wouldn't be as good as the books i just ended up going along with it. hopefully if they do end of doing the rest of the series, they'll have a bigger budget.
okay. first of all. people who are comparing the movie to the book are dimwitted and need to get a life. you cannot compare ANY movie to the book. it just doesn't work. think about it. no movie is better than the book. but the twilight movie was amazing!!!!!
1) in anymovie do they ever use all the exact same lines in the book? no. you cannot think that they're going to do it for twilight. even if the book is utterly awesome.
2) alice was sooo awesome in the movie! i love alice! and think about it. if people say they have her dancing around like a five year old it's because she does! have you seriously ever seen a seventeen year old that doesn't take dance twirl when they walk? no.
3) there was chemistry between robert and kristen! it's why she chose him! she felt it. you cannot base your thought on whether or not there's chemistry by what you see. you actually have to look deeper and feel it!
4) robert may have kept looking away from kristen but that's because edward did! in twilight she describes how they held each others gazes but then he looked away first. always! he always looked away first! robert was just trying to capture the essence of exactly what edward did! and that's exactly what edward did and how he did it!
5) yeah the sparkles were awesome! how else would you make a person sparkly? seriously. have you ever seen it done before? no. and they would not think he was a deranged little kid running around. did he look like he was running? i don't think so. he looked good in the sparkles and there was no other way an independent film could've portrated it. there may not have been another way any film could've portrayed it.
6) idk why everyone is saying they hated it. give me some real reasons. besides bella dances around like a five year old, the sparkles sucked, there wasn't enough chemistry, and it wasn't like the book. this was an independent film with not much money. how much like the book do you want it? exactly like it? no. because seriously, everyone pictures it in their mind so much more romantic. but it's supposed to be awkward, it's supposed to be stiff, they're supposed to look away from each other all the time. they're each others first love. neither of them has ever had a bf or gf. think about it. when you're 13 or 14 and you have your first bf isn't it a lil awkward? for me it was. thats how edward and bella are. they are first loves and true loves, and it's awkward. deal with it.
ok i wasnt happy when i started reading Twilight but then it was the only thing that made me happy i read all four books in less than a month and i LOVE all of them they r wonderful and i was extremely excited when i heard that they were making a move then i saw the movie and THEY COMPLETELY MESSED UP THE STORYLINE.... i absolutely HATE this movie it made me so mad and i can not get over this and the actors wasnt EDWARD suppose to be AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL? I mean sorry but hea wasnot and this girl who played BELLA isnt a good actor at all! THEY NEED TO REMAKE the movie and put more important details in their! they really do!
I am not so susprised that alot of people think Twilight was a flop; Stewart (deepest aplolgies if I mis-spell names)was not the best choice. She didn't ruin it, don't get me wrong, but that girl from a Sereis of Unfortunate Events would have been, perhaps, a better idea. Robert was fine, but overly made up. There should have been more jealuosly with Mike, Laurn, Jessica and Rosalie, that would've ment that there were minor enemies as well as big ones. Like, Laurn=Malfoy and James=Voldemort. Big badies AND little badies. My only other complaints are screaming fans (my hearing is permantly damaged) and that the vampires seemed to float or fly more than leap with deadly grace...but thats just a little problemo all of my own.
The movie wasnt that bad. True they did miss a lot of important sceans such as the chemistry lab with the blood and some other things it potrayed the book pretty well. And now thanks to alll of us who did see it the producers can create an even better NewMoon with the budget tey have. Soo stop complaing no movie is ever as good as the book you just have to use a litlle imagination!
and there it was! the famous twilight was aired here in Philippines. I adore all about twilight and the entire books to follow. I love to see how people reacted on how the director or the movie perse interpreted the story; too many point of views, in detailed disgust etc. etc.. I find those who contradict very lame and (I think) has poor artistic passion. sorry, but I love the movie because contrary to all the accusations, it was greatly delivered detouring from those spoon feeding and usual fiction film, you guys wanted a very predictable movie,.yes, I agree that it seemed low budget but thats the crappiest thought of u to use. Two thumbs up for the cast who gave those intense and remarkable expressions well. The cast fits their character. I advice you to study arts especially filming.. u'll understand what I'm talking.
I agree that the movie did not do the book any justice; you dont need a big budget to act, they are actors...so act. and why is carlise hotter than edward? edward should be making every girl and woman swoon not cringe. im not dissing edward i think he's the best thing since johnny depp but pattison was horrible, girls, push aside the image you have projected onto pattison and you will see that he just WRONG for the part.
stewart wasnt any better; she seems stuck up. her face in the movie just says 'im bella, im pretty, im hot, im going to be famous because of this movie' not 'im bella, im new, im ordinary, i just want to survive high school' no skils at all.
i loved the books, they were extremely well written and grabbing but the movie doens do it for me.
Yes, i understand that the movie wasnt exactly like the book, but seriously that movie WAS NOT horrible! It was still amazing. People were having too high expectations, thats why they were dissapointed. Obviously, the movie wont be the same as the book i mean what movie is the same? And yes i know they did skip some important parts, but thats why we read the book. That movie was already 2 hours long. They TRIED to put everything they could, but they cant put EVERYTHING, then that movie would've been like 4 hours long. Yes, it true that they could've have a little more chemistry, but relax, its just the first movie, there are 3 more to come! Oh! that reminds me, i heard something about Jacob, well taylor lautner. I heard that he wont be in the others movie and that they are replacing him with Steven Strait(i think thats the name; hes the guy from sky high that had fire powers)because he needs to grow fast or something like that. I really hope they dont change characters : D and the part where Edward jumps on her truck, WOAH! Super Hot. There, just in the part, him and Bella had a whole lot of chemistry (: They were way too cute :D iloveeeeeeeeeeeeeeTWILIGHT
owi loved this movie it had so many effects
I was very happy that I read the books before I went to see the movie. I do not believe that the movie would make much sense if you did not read the books first. There are so many little things like Edwards extreme uneasiness when the wind blows Bella's scents towards him, and also if you didn't read the book I do not know if you can appreciate how different Edward really was.
I saw the movie twice and really enjoyed it more the second time. I could read their thoughts and movements better.
I am really looking forward to the next movies....until then I will dream of a man that is like Edward. Someone who will love me more then anything, and is rich and gorgeous to boot.
My Edward where are you?
I'd have to agree with DANGEROUSLYinadequate.
This movie MADE SHREK LOOK BEAUTIFUL, MADE SHAKESPHEARE THE MUST UNROMANTIC MAN OF ALL TIMES, AND WORSE OF ALL! DISGUST AND SMEAR EDWARD'S SPARKLY IMAGE!!! Why:
1. Charlie didn't seem like the Charlie we all know. He was a quiet person, but he still cares but we don't see much of it in the movie.
2. When Edward first spoke to Bella, he seemed nervous and his voice was SOO disappointing. Talk about low confidence.
3. THE MOVIE WAS BARELY TWILIGHT! Did you know the first thing the director saw was that Bella was a track star?!? No, they cutted that but they cutted the book also. No, they didn't cut the book, they cutted the STORY!!!!
4. Jacob doesn't meet UNTIL Bella went to La Push.
5. Bella didn't even flirt with Jacob like the real story goes.
6. Jacob didn't dance with Bella during prom!
7. When Bella was in the hospital, Edward said things about leaving and he never did in the real story!! EDWARD WOULD NEVER SAY SUCH THINGS TO BELLA IN HER CURRENT CONDITION!! SHE COULD HAVE GONE INTO A COMA FOR GOODNESS'S SAKE!
8. YES! Where is the Why-Does-Rosalie-Hate-Me issue?! Two parts shown Rosalie's hatred, what did Bella do? Stare with her googly eyes and nothing else. Disappointing!
9. When Edward was 'sparkling' he wasn't! HE WAS SWEATING! I'm sure that vampires don't sweat. He wasn't even glittering. I was really disappointed.
And 10, most of all: WHERE WAS BELLA AND HER BLOOD-PHOBIA SCENE?! She was in Biology and they did a blood test. THAT WAS A GOOD PART!!
I absolutely loved the movie which is pretty strange seeing that most of everyone who saw it was extremely disappointed. I think there was excellent chemistry between Bella and Edward. His drawn back demeanor and her awkwardness for life to make more sense than being dumped off by her mother was an interesting thing to watch. He had passion and misplaced trust in his self and she seemed more accepted to the fact that he was dead and actually wanted to join him. And for most people who were upset about the whole missing scenes that made the book so good. Review your list and figure how much longer the movie would have been. And then take into account that there are ppl like myself who haven't read the book but was given enough to want to read the book and literally craving to find out all the things the movie left as a treasure hunt.I am an absolute vampire lover.anything with them I watch.and was a little disappointed that this movie did not follow the usual guidelines to these undead demons. But then I had to respect the writer because this series of books were geared toward makinging it more realistic than making it like every other horror love movie. and lastly movies are not meant to replicate the book.there basically there to give you the need to read and keep watching.which is what I'm going to do.
i've read the book, loved it, watched the movie, read the reviews, couldn't agree more. It is obvious that the ppl making the movie knew it would be a success even b4 it primiered. Perhaps that is what is incensing everyone, we got fooled! what we wanted was absolute chemistry between bella and edward, forgive the cuts of certain scenes, i would just be happy if those 2 absolutely LOVED each other! not in the awkward how do i approach each other way, i mean the almost worship type of way. bella just couldn't believe her luck, not scared to death. as for other characters, well yeah, carlisle is more handsome, and everything is kinda off, not entirely but off. in short, this movie needs ppl who eat, breathes sleeps twilight to pull it off and certainly these ppl are just out to swindle us.
I think they got everyone perfect, but what happened to Edward? It was awesome in the other sense, though. I read the books and had a hard time watching the movie cuz I already had a imange of all the people. so yeah wacth it.....
Movie: Twilight
I thought TwilightI (i've never read the books) was an amazing movie! Some of my friends that saw it with me said they were dissapointed in the begining of the movie because in the book there is a lot more important scens. I give the movie either an 8 or a 9 because some scens were hard to follow at some points but mabey its because i havnt read the books. Some scens did make sense at the end. The kissing scens were great and very beliveable. I thought the movie was for sure one of the best made. I was not very excited walking into the theater but came out saying to my friends lets go see it again ! Im going to start reading the books right away.
A lot of people are complaining that it missed a lot of important scens and Edward and Bella fell in love to fast but think about it the movie was already 2 hours long how much more longer could they of really made it.
When I heard about the 'Twilight' saga, I was a non believer. I found some of the story line I had heard so much about, to be completely unbelievable, unrealistic and difficult to comprehend. Vampires who dont eat humans?? So, my friend gave me her copy and insisted I read it.
I couldnt put the book down. The only break I took was to go purchase the remaining books in the set and finish them! I fell in love with Alice and her aura within the series.
That being said, if I had seen the movie first I would have laughed at the thought of reading the book!
The things we fell in love with were completely extricated from the movie. For me, Alice's quirky sesnse of humor. The fact that Jasper actually has a supernatural power. That Esme craves to be a mother. The relationship between Bella and ALL of the family (even Rosalie). To say it was dissapoinitng not to have seen these in the movie would be an understatement!
Lets hope Eclipse makes up for it!
There are very little movies that can portray a book. Twilight, as a book, is full of details that cant be exspressed as well in a movie. The movie was great! The whole point was to give you a little bit and then the next 2 book are already being produced! They had to wait for this movie to increase their budget. A lot of parts were missing that were in the book but the movie would have been at least 3 HOURS versus the 2 HOURS already! Give them a break.
I haven't read books or seen movie but here is my $0.02 after seeing the actor on Leno:
This is all just a marketing ploy. All of the hype about young girls and stampedes, etc. has all been done to get people excited.
This scrappy haired kid pretended to come out of nowhere - and that the 1/2 pound of styling gel in his hair was actually natural bla bla bla.
In fact he played in the harry Potter movies as dashing clean cut Cedric? I believe.
The only thing that impressed me about his visit to Leno is what a twirp he appeared to be next to Heidi Klume.
All of u haters omg twilight was spectacular, it could've been better but averagly it was great I love ROB Pattinson!! He's hot and he really acted up on the movie the movie was awsome it can never be as good as the book almost impossible! They had a low budget and low time because of all the demands though they are goin to make new moon much better
!! I cnt wait so haters shut your trap go get a fckin lyf n ejoy it!! if u lov twilight like me u rock!!
I Lov edward cullen!
If your a fan of the twilight book series i recommend not seeing the movie.First of all in th books the connection between bella and edward is amazing,but in the movie they do a horrible job at actually trying to make us think theyre 'in love'.Second of all they cut out half of the parts in the book that i believed were my favorite parts.They did a horrible job acting.There is no feeling whatsoever coming from Bella and Edward doesn't seem romantic just stiff and awkward.I was very dissapointed with the movie.
I thought the movie was really good idk why people keep saying it sucked edward is sexy and I can see he worked hard in the movie and so did bella I can't wait to see new moon nd wen the movie twilight comes out on video
I adore the movie but some things could have been piqued, like the meadow was like a grassy mud field. And Alice is a bit out of proportion. But either way I am not a picky person and LOVE the movie to the bottom, and to all who comment about the movie basing on looks of people, that isnt the point, Anyhow, love the movie, Lulu
Seriously, it doesn't matter that they had a small budget. that's a lame excuse. should have gotten a bigger one. the director knew that they would get critisized if they made even the tinyist mistake, and did he care? no.. i think he made so many mistakes on purpose. seriously, they need to completly erase this movie from existance, and remake it.. with better acting and better characters. get a director that knows what the heck he's doing
Ok so i'm late but better late than never, I loved the Twilight book, utterly breathtaking, but the movie was terrible. In the book i felt so much passion between bella nd edward i fell in love with edward myself, it had so much emotion and depth i felt like i was there watching them. But the movie was a total let down bella was so uhhhh edward was hot he was good i jus wish i felt them like i did in the book. It was a mess!
I was scared to see this movie at first because I've read the book and didn't want to be let down. THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES I EVER SAW ! Totally not a disappointment at all ! It was different from the book on some parts I do admit but over all the actors and the whole story line was perfect! Definitely brought it from Best Buy and I will watch it again !
I was browsing through the reviews and the reviews that said:
'This movie was utterly terrible! It sucked!' Are very wrong. Most of the people that said comments like that are pathetic adolescnet girls who have no lives. Simple as that. They read the book over and over again, and into the theater, their expectations were too high. A movie will NEVER be a book, it was already 2 hours they had to skip some scenes. They didn't have much money, and they portayed the book well in the film with the budget they had. You have to APPRECIATE that. And for all those people who said the acting ws terrible, it wasn't. You weren't going into the theater expecting Tom Hanks or Al Pacino now, were you? They acted pretty well for the young people they are.
Overall I thought the movie was really good, and I really favored the flashback scene where Edward was sucking the venom out of Bella. Sure, a few lines in the movie were a bit cheesy, and I felt that Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett, Esme and Carlisle weren't in the movie enough, but there will be a LOT of them in the next movie, New Moon coming out November 2009.
So yes it was a great movie. And I'm a 13 year old girl who loves the books, I read all of them, but you don't hear me saying I hate the movie.
Peace
Rosalie and Carlisle looked like they had first time home bleach jobs. Bad effects like you are doing fast forwarding the old reel to reel movies (I'm that old) to make it look like Edward and the Cullens were running faster than humans.
Urm, hello? Guys, it's a movie! All this fuss whether its good or bad is driving me insane! Okay, sure, the books were 100 times better than the movie and its true ladies you are never going to get a stone hard rock for christmas. But the story is delightful and was certainly a fresh change from what I like to call modern day movies. It let me escape for a while and although my personal view on the movie was that it was terrible, I still cannot love the books enough and whatever you think is entirely up to you.
this movie is a mockory of the book. For middle school students like me, it is disapointing.
The Twilight is a badly written rip-off the vampire story. Also the film like the new Harry potter that is just a teen-flick and will be forgotten in years to come.
