Oh there was definately some bad acting in it, no denying that. It was the books I really loved, the movie just goes along with them. On it's own, without the books and really knowing what the story was about, I probably wouldn't like it much either. Kind of like the Harry Potter movies...the books are way better, IMO, and go into detail with the story.

(Got my copy of the movie this morning, BTW!

I haven't read the books or seen the movie but my 14 year old niece is OBSESSED with it. She has read the book series at least 4 times, seen the movie at least as many and was going at midnight to buy the dvd.

My daughter and a few friends stood in line at Walmart last night. (They are college age) She has read all the books and seen the movie 4 times! Her and her room mates used it as therapy away from homework!

I myself have not seen it or read the books.

TatumsMom · 03-21-2009, 12:52 PM

I've read the books and just now watched the movie for the first time. I've gotta say that I probably wouldn't have read the books if I had seen the movie first. The movie was NOWHERE near as good as the book. They left SO much out but then there's probably no way they could have fit it all in.... the movie would have had to be 6 hours long to do that.

But now I can finally say I saw the movie. Oh, and NO WAY is Edward as good looking in the movie as what I envisioned in the book.

Did everyone get their movie? I went to the store about 30 minutes before opening and there was already a line-up of at least 50 people. After I got into the line about another 100 people showed up as well. All just for the Twilight DVDs.

It was just a little cold -11 C (12.2 F) standing outside waiting but worth it as I was able to get the limited addition copies I wanted. But just missed getting the free poster the first 30 people got, I was 31st, lol. Oh well, was happy to be one of the lucky ones today, almost all the Twilight DVDs were gone in less than 10 mins and they had a ton.

hviola · 03-21-2009, 02:51 PM

I just picked mine up this afternoon at walmart. They had plenty of copies left.

Lily5 · 03-21-2009, 03:41 PM

I have read all the books, 2 times and I have heard from many friends who saw the movie in theatre that is was not nearly as good as the book, so i'm just going to rent it tonight on tv..

my4pups · 03-21-2009, 06:04 PM

Me, my daughter, and her friend got the movie and watched it last night. The kids liked the movie but I was a little disappointed. The didn't come close to showing the obsession and devotion that edward has with bella. I know that its easier to write in detail about things like that but, I would have liked a little more of the connection between the two.

hviola · 03-21-2009, 08:07 PM

I just finished the movie. I actually quite enjoyed it. It's always fun seeing a book on screen and comparing things to the way you imagined it. My husband and son watched it with me too. My husband hasn't read the book, but he said he liked the movie.
On the other hand, the movie maybe felt a little empty to me. My emotions weren't there like they were when I was reading the book. Something is missing, and I really can't put my finger on it right now. Maybe it was just too rushed or something. I'm not sure.

ILoveBingoo · 03-21-2009, 08:17 PM

I love Twilight Edward is soo dreamy i wish i can meet and edward i have the four books and i have it on bootleg but im going to purchase the dvd sometime after the release

emilyann · 03-21-2009, 08:52 PM

I'm sorry but I have to disagree with those who said the acting in the movie sucked. I hadn't read the books yet and went to see the movie with my little brother and Mom. I didn't think I'd like the movie, I figured it'd be one of those that you just can't wait for it to be over. Instead, I was wishing it would never end. It's one of those movies that just make me want to jump through the screen and be in it. So dreamy, so romantic, I NEVER EVER wanted it to end. I'm not really fond of non-Twilight Edward but Twilight Edward is sooo ahhh! I just know I'm glad I don't have a DVD player in my bedroom because I would never get out of bed.

TatumsMom · 03-22-2009, 09:29 AM

Maybe the acting didn't actually "suck" but the difference between what happens in the book and what happens on screen is so totally different that it makes the acting seem "lifeless". The book was so deep and emotional that it would take some much more experienced actors maybe to be able to carry that to the screen. I agree with the other poster that it was somewhat empty.

I enjoyed watching the movie mostly because of Bella. I've been told since the movie first came out at the theatre that the Bella character is my oldest daughter all over again. My daughter hasn't even read the books so she's not all into the Twilight thing so when kids at school started telling her that, she didn't know what they meant. She does look a lot like her but the mannerisms and everything are so dead on that it's a little weird watching it.

KimberlySRN · 03-22-2009, 11:40 PM

How funny.

I saw the movie in the theater by myself, cause my boyfriend had already seen it and knew I would be smiling the entire movie. (Which I was

) He brought the movie home yesterday and we watch some of it last night and then restarted tonight with my roommate. I love movies with vampires.

Robert may look okay in real life but he is hot as vampire.

ilovelily · 03-23-2009, 03:34 AM

I thought the book's were way better than the movie.Me and my daughter went and seen it at the movies on opening day.I am so hoping that the next movie is so much better not that i did not enjoy the first because i did,lol..
