Probably most of you had already watched the movie. For those of you who hadn’t watched it yet then be warned.
Last Sunday, we watched the most anticipated movie since Harry Potter. Well, to tell you frankly the movie is just so so, actually a big let down. I know that book to movie usually looses its essence. The first half of the movie is really one big bore. The scenes are too cheesy that it’s almost becoming chedar. The sparkling Edward just made me laugh instead of making me awestruck. I kept peeking at my husband who just laugh at the not so romantic scenes. Okay his laugh is a bit sarcastic plus he did mention that he should have watched Bolt instead. The interesting part started with the baseball game that the Cullens usually play when there’s a thunder storm. Then the chase scene and the fight between the vamps get more interesting than the love story between the two main characters. Plus the guys who plays James, Carlisle and Emmet are cuter than Edward (sorry Rob fans) Alice, Victoria and Esme fits the bill. Rosalie was a bit off. This is all in terms of the way the book describes them. I really dont want to nit pick this movie because I’ll just get in trouble with all the fans girls who love it. I know that it was a low budget movie, but with all the hype I wanted it to be a bit more. Lets just hope that the second movie is better than the first.

I have to agree with you about the movie, it wasn’t as good as it was made out to be. I thought Emmett’s actor was much cuter than Edward, too.

I didn’t like it too.:( Actually, the whole premise of Twilight doesn’t work with me. Vampires that sparkle in the sun and who don’t sleep at all, their powers not determined by how long they’ve been vampires, the whole love story thing… I don’t really get what the fuss is about. Harry Potter, I understood completely, but Twilight, not so much. Maybe on the average girl having a gorgeous guy fall for her (modern-day fairy tale), but on the other points, bleh. Plot’s pretty predictable, too.

It was low budget? That explains a lot, although it puzzles me, since Twilight’s pretty big right now.
Oh, btw, I just saw that you’re featured as a blog all-star this week. Congrats!^_^

I’m still quite baffled why Twilight is such a big hit. O_o
