Because if so, I'll hold off on seeing the movie until I've read it.

Of course, it had its limitations, but I think the director did a very good job of translating the author's vision. Robert Pattinson was quite good. One thing that stood out to me in the film was Rosalie; either the director or the actress got so much more out of her than even I did from the book. It's nice that there was so much attention to detail and not just for the main characters. Loved it!

My boyfriends both enjoyed the movie, as well, and the one wants to read the books now. I really liked Stewart as Bella, but... I'm not quite sold on patterson as Edward. I mean, he did a great job, and in some of the scenes he was AWESOME. But there were a few scenes where he was just eh, I don't know. I loved Rosalie, and Alice was awesome. She reminded me of a pixie. I just... had some issues with a few of the scenes I guess. It was good, though, and I do want to see it again where people aren't screaming through the entire movie (because I went and saw it on the midnight release, as well.) The movie jumped too quickly from scene to scene for me, but at the same time I understand it was already almost a 2 1/2 hour long movie, so they couldn't really make it flow much better than they did. I truly enjoyed it, and I will be getting it as soon as it comes to DVD. I enjoyed the movie. My boyfriends both enjoyed the movie, as well, and the one wants to read the books now.

I read the four books back to back, and then went to see the movie this afternoon. I guess the movie was okay. The casting was great, and I was entertained. But, I was disappointed in the cheesy special effects. I'd have rather had more dialogue and less jumping around in trees and running . . . but that's just me.

Not a teen or tween in sight! Favorite, take your breath away moment: Edward in the biology classroom standing in front of the taxidermied snowy owl. Angel wings!!! The shot was so quick my husband didn't catch it. I'm just finishing up book 3, but wonder if there is a demographic break in the Team Edward vs. Team Jacob crowds. Are teens more into the vampire and adult women more into the werewolf? I know I'd take hot over cold any day. (That said Pattinson was one HOT vampire.)

I know that the books are aimed at teen girls, and while the movie isn't as "deep" as a full-fledged adult drama, I did think it was significantly over the heads of most of the crowd. Most of the kids were 12-15-ish, which seemed young for the themes. They didn't get any of the actual funny parts (only the six old folks in the audience laughed at the appropriate times), they giggled at the kissing, didn't stay in their seats (the kids next to us got up no less than 12 times), and basically talked through the whole thing like they were bored (or simply raised by rude wolves). Distractions aside, I really enjoyed the movie. Well, hubby actually enjoyed the movie!

I wouldn't go see it again. It was fun to go tho, and to hear the girls scream as the Cullens appeared on screen. My favorite? Jasper, even tho he usually just looked slightly stunned LMAO! Reminded me a bit of Edward Scissorhands ;-) I could take or leave the movie and I really liked the book LOL! I wouldn’t go see it again.
