Twilight

I went to the Twilight movie last night with my sister Liz. IT WAS AWESOME! I have to admit, I was very worried about liking the movie. I started reading tons of reviews on Thursday, once the movie came out for viewing by press. Most reviews I had read prior to my viewing the movie were very bad. They said it was an awful film, and I was so very worried. I didn't not allow myself to be excited to see the movie, because I didn't want to walk out that more disappointed.

It was freaking AWESOME though. Liz and I walked out of the film ready to turn around and by tickets to the 9:00 showing of the film. We called Laurel right away and told her she needed to get her butt to the theater because it was WELL worth it.

I loved pretty much everything about the movie. Some reviewers said Rob Pattison and Kristen Stewart "over acted", but..I think that the "overacting" was sort of justified...I mean, they are playing 17 year olds...17 year old are VERY dramatic. Heck, I was dramatic in everything I did in life until I was 22. :) Yea, I'll admit it. Some reviews also said the special effects were awful. Yea, I'll agree that maybe they weren't like effects you see in a billion dollar film with explosions and what not...but, I don't think the film needed that. I thought the effects were fitting for the way the film was shot..which was AWESOME (in case I didn't say that already).

I told Adam I'd love to have him see the movie as well...so I could get his opinion (because I value it, AND he hasn't read the book). I wanted the opinion of someone who hadn't read the book. So...being the wonderful husband he is...we went to the matinee of Twilight today.

Happy to say, I loved the movie the 2nd time around just as much as the 1st time around. And I'm even MORE excited for New Moon. I'm also ready tor read all teh books again! :) And, to top it all off...Adam said the movie "wasn't horrible".

So..for people who are trying to decide whether they should go see the movie. YES, YES you should. Don't worry about it. They stick with the book pretty much the entire film, and what they add to the story is actually really good (well, almost everything..but that's for another post).

So...go out and watch Twilight. It was...one more time...AWESOME!
