Twilight Movie Review

OK, I thought while I was on here posting, I'd just make a little commentary about the Twilight Movie. I have seen it four times now (which is huge for me because I rarely ever see movies at the theater). The first time I saw it, I had really mixed emotions because I loved the book SO MUCH, and the movie of course was not as good as the book (what movie ever is?) Each time I have seen the movie since then, I have liked it better and better. I think the first time, I had a lot of gripes about how the movie differed from the book, and I couldn't get past that. I love the order that everything in their relationship happens in the book, and I was annoyed that some things were out of order, and I hated the meadow scene. But once I came to terms with the fact that the movie wasn't the same as the book, I was able to appreciate the movie for what it was. Chuck came with me the second time I saw the movie, and he thought it was really slow and uninteresting. It was fun to ask him if he understood the little things that the movie didn't explain very well (he didn't get why their eyes change color for instance). The third time I saw the movie, I went with my mom, who had read all the books but hadn't seen the movie yet. She LOVED the movie, and by that time, I loved it too. I checked back with Twilight (and Midnight Sun), and was surprised that some of the scenes that bugged me from the movie were straight from the books (like when Edward tears off the tree branch and throws it, and is saying something like, "as if you could outrun me...") And the way Rob Pattinson played certain scenes really bugged me the first time I saw it, but now I think he did a really good job playing a tourtured Edward. Kristen Stewart as Bella still bugs me--I think her acting was kind of lame. I hate how she never really smiles, and I think the depth of her feelings for Edward never really shines through. But even still, I really love the Twilight Movie now, and I can't wait to see it again, and to own it and watch it over and over. I know the movie came out almost two months ago, but I would love to hear anyone else's two cents about it. :) Love, Cherene
