My unofficial official movie review....

Of Twilight of course ....what else would I pay that much money to go see?? LOL

The movie was good. It wasn't the book. It wasn't near as good as the book (but did I really expect it to be??). But it was good. I will definately see it again. And I will probably buy the DVD. But I would be lying if I didn't say I was slightly disappointed. I felt they rushed through too much of the storyline. Everything went much too fast for me. Plus I don't think they really built up the Bella/Edward storyline the way the book does. It was hard for me to wrap my head around them being so desperately in love in the movie. The book did a much better job of building it up.

And I have said from the get go that I was disappointed with their choice for Edward. He just doesn't fit my mental picture.

And then there were things that just totally didn't make sense compared to the book.

But don't get me wrong. The movie was good. And I probably would have loved it had I not read the book first (a mere 3 times lol). I just don't think there is a way to possibly capture the feeling of the book. So with that in mind, they did a good job. And I expect New Moon will have a much bigger budget and will probably be a much better movie.

So there ya have it. My unofficial official review. Take it for what its worth.
