"But much of what made the relationship between Edward and the smitten Bella Swan work in Meyer's breezy book has been stripped away on screen. The funny, lively banter -- the way in which Edward and Bella teased and toyed with one another about their respective immortality and humanity -- is pretty much completely gone, and all that's left is a slog of adolescent angst." —Christy Lemire
Yes, I did see it. I waited in the longest line of my life in the bitter cold and saw this much anticipated show at 12:13 a.m. opening day. That day was the longest of my life. I went to Logan for a funeral, won 'press photographer' tickets to the Coldplay concert, went to a wedding reception, then sat on the freezing sidewalk for 2.5 hours just to see this movie. I really don't know what's wrong with me so don't ask! It was definitely a marathon day.
I just have to start by saying that despite my Twilight obsessed activities, I'm not really obsessed with that book nor the 3 that have followed. I think that Stephenie Meyer had a great idea but I don't like what she did with the story line (I think the books started okay, then crashed and burned by book 4) and I don't think she's that great of an author. (BTW: I made the mistake of announcing this last fact at the Breaking Dawn release party. I thought one of the girls there was going to kill me. Seriously. I was worried for my safety. She got all up in my face and basically called me an idiot for not worshipping this beloved author. Wow hon. Get a life).
I have, however, quite enjoyed all of the anticipation/craziness that have resulted from the vampire obsession. And, to be honest, who isn't in love with Edward? (I mean Edward from the books, not the studdering, un-confident, un-cute loser they chose to play him in the movie). Everyone needs a hobby.
I didn't like the movie - at all. In fact, I laughed through the whole thing because it was just so silly. A couple parts that were supposed to be funny actually were, but I spent most of my time shaking my head at the poor casting/acting, character development and chemistry between anyone in the movie. I whole-heartedly agree with the opening review. I enjoyed Twilight (the book) because of Edward and Bella's connection and how they fell in love. None of that was in the movie. Too bad because it had a lot of potential to be great.
Disclaimer: There is some swearing. Usually just minor stuff, but I have come across the "F" word once. I think books should have a rating like movies. This would be PG-13.
