I'm sure any fan of the Twilight books have seen the movie by now. So, what did you think?
A few months ago, when I was reading Twilight, Jason would sit next to me on the couch each night with his laptop and work or shop while I read. He listened to me laugh out loud and was patient when I "needed" to finish just a few more pages before we went to bed, and he indulged me when I wanted to read to him a funny or mushy part. So, I'm sure he assumed I would drag him along to the midnight showing. I'm not sure if he was relieved or disappointed when we realized we would be in Disneyland and there were already plans for a girls trip to see the movie the next day.
I think because I loved the books so much, I liked the movie, but I didn't love it. I think my memories from the book carried me through the movie. I tried to think about what Jason would have thought if he saw it without having read the book. I think he would have missed out on so much! I don't think the characters were developed well enough and it sort of felt like they were on a limited budget or maybe it was some one's first movie. I didn't love the guy who played Edward either. There was one scene as he is walking into the school, that I thought he was hot, but it fizzled for me after that.
I enjoyed the physical tension between Bella and Edward in the books! It was fun! I didn't really feel it in the movie.
What did you think?

I agree with you that the movie wasn't as good as the book. I didn't hate the movie, but I wasn't overly in love with it either
I completely agree with you. We made a family girls night of it with my sister in law's family, except her dad went and I thought it was ok. I might buy it to get a quick fix, but it was not the best. I thought the acting sucked.
Thanks for your comment on my blog Tara. You made my day!
You guys know how to travel right! Looks like you had a super fun trip.
My bro in law was engaged to Stephanie Meyer while they were at BYU together. Obviously it didn't work out....but it's a my little claim to fame...that's as close to fame as I want to get too. I haven't read the books but did see the movie. I think the movie would have been better had I read the book. I thought the relationship was underdeveloped. The movie seems a little choppy to me too...I'm sure it's because I haven't read the books though. I didn't love or hate the movie.
I liked the movie. I went into it not thinking I would like compared to the book, so I was actually pleasantly surprised. It was better than what I was expecting.
I totally agree with you. I was okay with the movie but I didn't love it like I loved the book. And I'm so glad that you mentioned that you didn't care for the actor who played Edward. I thought I was the only one who didn't find him hot!
