So I read that Twilight has to make at least $150 million world wide in order for them to make New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.
Right now there is a lot of hype over this film, so I am hoping that it does well. But I guess its because last year Summit Ent. released "Golden Compass" and that movie was really hyped too, it was even called "the new harry potter" and it bombed at the box office. So the books after from that seriese were not made into movies.
Lets hope this movie doesn't dissapoint so we can see the next ones!!

I can't wait to see it! I don't have very high expectations, I'm just wanting to be entertained.
This is pretty funny...my bf linked me to this today. I think it was his way of trying to get out of being dragged to see it with me!

The sheer level of personal disgust and disdain RPatz has for Twilight makes me giggle.
I had to break my daughter's heart today because I wouldn't take her to meet him, I just couldn't fathom the idea of standing in the midst of a crush of Twilight fans squee'ing over him and his smelliness.
Plus it would have completely disillusioned her.

*sigh*
Next week seems so far away. I'm probably not going to go see it until a week or so after the release. I can't effing stand fang girls/boys. I want to watch the movie in peace, not be crowded in with a bunch of teeny boppers screaming like wild banshees.
I can't wait to see it though. It will be great to see such an amazing story on film.

Okay I read Twilight in exactly one day.
I am now on the Twilight bandwagon!
I can't wait to see if the movie and book are anything alike since most movies aren't half as close to the book as I'd like.
But the previews look exciting.
I can't wait to read the rest of the series.

I'm going to see it tonight in... about 2 and a half hours!
I'm super excited, but a little afraid that it will be slightly disappointing? Hope I'm wrong!

i seen the midnight showing last night, my hubs went with me, and fell asleep like ten minutes into the movie
im on the fence still about if i really like it or not, it wasnt as bad as it couldve been,considering it was lower budget and all, but i am going to watch it again tomorrow, i have a feeling i was trying so hard to catch everything that i missed alot. but i hope everyone who goes to see it likes it!

LOVED the books
absolutely HATED the movie!
I thought that the boring parts were sooooooo dragged out, and there wasnt enough action! I wish they told some of Carlisles history and spent more time on the James chase.
overall, dissapointed =[

first half bad, 2nd good. I didn't like how they changed so many small details. I say it was good, but not great. The script wasn't written well.

Ok so my opinion of this movie, after watching it a second time.
Over all is was good. It wasn't amazing to me, and for something that was being deemed as the "Next Harry Potter" it did not lived up to MY expectations. I mean, Im a die hard potter fan, and if you're gonna compare to HP you better BRING IT!! lol
For the budget of the movie (36 million) They did good. I liked what they did with it. The chemistry wasn't really there with the actors. I hope to see more when bigger budget is approved for sequels. The special fx were a bit cheap, and the editing a bit akward. Some angles, and some scenes had a documentary type feel, and the background music was distraction as it went on through the whole movie.
They cannot obviously do 100% close to the movie, some parts were out of order, but you know, if my hubby who has never read the book knows whats going on.. thats a good thing.
I absolutly loved the baseball sequence. It was good!! Cam was awesome as james!! It had a bit of continuety issues but thats common I guess in movies, I just noticed quite a bit.
I didn't understand why Billy who doesn't walk was driving in the movie. I just thought it was funny.
I hope to see more in the sequel, hopefully a bigger budget for more FX and better makeup as well.
Dont get me wrong, I did not NOT like the movie. I did enjoy it. I love Twilight, but I love movies more and when something has this big a following I expect it to deliver better.
I still hope it does well so we can see sequels and see its full potential,besides Cat is a great director so I know we'll get more in New Moon!
