Twilight Saga - books & movies

[kristakamikaze]

I went and saw it Tuesday the 25th
at 1130AM
[I don't do crowds xD]

I thought for being such a low budget film that it was AMAZING
and the sparkling wasn't as cheesy and I was expecting


Hella excited for New Moon

That's why I'm so excited for NM

hahahah.

Yeah, I pictured the house differently as well. I pictured it more like a Souther Plantation kind of mansion. Big white columns, etc. The house in the movie was so modern and not AT ALL what I got from the book.

I feel like in the later books that Edward makes more of an effort to accept Jacob, and be more friendly to him, but Jacob still maintains that arrogance. And that is why I didnt like him, but at the end of the 4th book they seem to get along VERY well which was good.

im obsessed. i read all the books, well im on breaking dawn now and saw the movie twicee

I absolutely LOVE the book. I haven't read the rest yet, but I'm on my 2nd read of Twilight and I only bought it last week. It is my favourite book EVER. Will the movie spoil it for me?

it did for me

I'm rereading it again b/c the movie wasn't romantic enough for me.

I've only seen the movie once. But, I heard alot of people really enjoyed it the second time b/c the first time they kept comparing the film w/ the book.

Never read the book or watched the movie but there sounds like there's alot of hype about it?? IS it worth it? Should I read the book or watch the movie??

 

[xoshopaholicxo]

i love the book more than the movie. but some people who haven't read the books were a little confused on the movie. & others who have read the books were disappointed. it's a win-lose situation.

yes, it really is worth it
i'd say to read the book first.

Ok so I saw it a third time, and I tried to enjoy it for what it was.. but still I couldn't help but notice all this stuff thats wrong with it. I did like it, I guess it could have been worse.

A lot of people have been throwing the budget issue and that is understandable, but you can have a good movie that didnt have a high budget for example "The Passion of the Christ" budget was 35 million and look how amazing that was!

I am hoping New Moon is better. and omg, I do not know how they will make Breaking Dawn! Ew. I don't even wanna think about that book to a movie, it was so bad. I can't imagine how the movie could be better.

 

[jaclynashley]

The book was so much better!
Don't get me wrong the movie was okay but just okay.
To be honest I thought Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart had more chemistry off camera.
But I didn't expect them to make it a 4 hour movie as much as I wanted them to so I guess it was an alright movie BASED on the book Twilight.

See, I read the entire series, but HATED the books (don't throw things!). So I didn't have high hopes for the movie..but I actually loved it, and ended up seeing it twice! I might even go again this weekend. So for me, the movie was a big improvement on the novels.

 

[Sweexy985]

Ok. I went to go see the movie this past Saturday night, you know....just to see what all the fuss is about.

Well.....

I'm in love with Edward. Or the dude that plays him. And he's younger than me. So now I'm a pedophile. Yay.

Thinking I'll probably start on the books in the next few days.

 

[dimpleyy]

Ahh I still have to watch this so I can see what's all the excitement about.
I didn't even read the book though.

Me too

Well i went to take my nieces to watch this movie. I wasnt expecting much cuz i hadnt heard anything about it only there was a big hype.
Im 28 (yes a bit embarrassing but hey heart always stays young)

and i became obsessed to the point i went to buy the Twilight book since they say books are always better well it is there is more passion behind the whole Edward & Bella (AMAZING chemistry)

. Book also explains some of the background of the Cullen Family which would have made a great story line on the movie. Dont get me wrong i liked the movie but the book is amazing.

I've never read any of the books, but saw the movie today. My husband and I really liked it (he's never read the books either). I expected the books to be better than the movie because that's always the case, but I thought the movie was pretty good for what it was.

 

[M.A.C. head.]

I HATED the movie!

I had really high hopes and I was really excited, but I did not like it at all.

The books were way better. I could read those over and over. But I haven't felt compelled to see the movie a second time.
