Are you wondering what I thought? I loved it of course. Okay, truthfully I didn't "love" it the first time I saw it, but the second time was greatness. I went in expecting it wasn't going to be as good as the book, but two hours of Rob would be enough! The first time I saw it, I kept comparing the movie to the book and when the movie ended WAY too soon, I sat in shock that it was over. I couldn't believe it! I'm not going to go into detail, but you know all of us Twilight-obsessive fans were all thinking the same things: Emotionless Bella, Jasper looked pained, Rob had few facial expressions, and the glittering skin looked like sweat (Did anyone else think so too?) etc, etc.
BUT what made this movie better, was seeing it for the second time. I knew what to expect and could sit back and enjoy it. Now, I feel like I'm going through withdrawals, I can't wait to see it again! Here are some of my favorite things from the movie:
ROSALIE: "How do we know she even likes Italian?"
EMMETT: "Well...her name is Bella."
When Edward and Bella step out of the car together. He looks great in those shades. That scene is perfect.
Jasper's skills with the baseball bat. Did you catch those?
EDWARD: "You better hold on tight, spidermonkey." I almost died laughing.
Overall, I just loved the Cullens and the nonvampires. Eric was hilarious and Mike Newton was adorable. I was so impressed by Rosalie and Emmett too. Loved them both, and Alice of course. So if your wondering why you hated it the first time so much, go see it again. And if that doesn't work, third time's the charm, or so I hear.
P.S. Marcus finally read Twilight, I know right? Finally.
You are a true fan, I don't think I'll see it again until we rent it.
Ashley, I totally was going to put in my review that I thought the dazzle effect looked a lot like sweat when it sparkles in the sun, but I forgot to mention that. I didn't mind it though, I was expecting that effect to be much worse.
Are you running the turkey trot? Denise told me you were running it alone...I want to run the 5k (really I should say, I want to walk/jog), maybe we could start out together. Brandon will be running it, but he will bust out the gates at the beginning and I don't want to hold him back. Let me know. e-mail me or call me.
ok, i am waiting til friday to see it with my sisters and I'm dying! I'm so excited. I feel like we think alike and so i am glad to know your thoughts.
It's so funny how many of us hated it the first time and loved it the second time. I realized later that was my problem--I really was comparing it to the book too much. Instead of trying to enjoy it for the movie, I just sat and hated any changes they made. Not good. So the second time around was much, much better. I can't wait to see it again!
Great review!
I loved it too (the first time)! I think it was only because I saw it after everyone else told me how horrible it was. My sister wanted me to wait for her to come in town to see it and everyone at work told me about everything they didn't like about it. I definitely think they could of improved it alot, but I still loved it. I can't wait to see it again, but that probably won't be until we buy it! I can't believe Marcus read it. I keep trying to convince Eric to read it, but he keeps saying no!
I really liked it the first time but only because I NEVER like movies that are made from some of my favorite books. So I went into it not expecting to like it at all and was rather pleased with what they had done. So glad you were able to enjoy it the second go around.
