I agree with your review. Some parts were campy and the make-up was bad-esp. on Carlisle-and Jaspers facial expressions were just ridiculous.But I still swooned over Edward. And I can see how they may be able to improve on the the next books/movies especially with special effects etc.

I loved the books. And i liked the movie. I agree with most of what you said. but I also went into the movie saying over and over “it’s the movie not the book & it’s not going to be as good as the book. they are 2 separate things” So i was really expecting the worst and was pleasently surprised. Though the movie wasn’t what I wanted I’ll still own the DVD b/c i’m a Twilight freak now and not afraid to admit it!

I read the first book and really loved it. I got sucked in by the chemistry between Edward and Bella. I wondered if the movie would be able to pull that off well. That’s what has made me a little bit hesitant to go see it.

I completely agree with your review! That’s exactly how I felt while I was sitting in the theater. I really hope that New Moon turns out better, but I think it’s going to require a much bigger budget and a lot of lessons for the actors and director.

I was actually quite content with it… For a low budget movie based off a long novel – there’s certainly worse examples out there… I mean to completely please me it would have had to have been 4 hours long… Which no one but me and a bunch of other folks used to BBC miniseries would be willing to sit through =) (I had a friend in college who would have been complaining about how long Twilight was as it is – she didn’t believe in going to any movie over 2 hours…where as I am greatly disappointed any time a movie is Less than 2 hours, lol =)

But so my review is – “contented happy feeling from the movie, but no great excitement” – the exciting-est part of going to the movie was the Harry Potter trailer because I love the Harry Hermione scene in the new trailer – and to get to see it on the big screen? exciting!

I agreed with your review–some things were done really well, others lacked a bit.

I wondered if they’d really be able to do a second movie, seeing as how they’ve only doubled their budget (which isn’t necessarily huge for Hollywood revenues) and they’ll need a much larger budget next time around to overcome some of the pit-falls of this one (a longer shooting schedule, better special effects, etc.). I also wonder if the “hype” of Twilight, which is what propelled a lot of sales, can be sustained amongst a notoriously fickle audience base–there won’t be any more books coming out the way there was with Harry Potter–will girls still care about Edward Cullen in 18 months or 2 years? Will Robert Pattinson (and the other Cullens) still look like teenagers in that time?
