I didn't go to any of the after midnight opening shows of Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter or anything like that. That is just not my thing.
If you had told me a year ago that I would LOVE a series about vampires, I would not have believed it. I succumbed last August truly expecting to return the borrowed book before I finished. A week and a half later I finished all 4 books. That is 2,458 pages. Trust me, it would have been way quicker if I didn't have 3 small children to take care of.
Last night I waited, with about 12 friends, in line at the movie theatre starting a little past 8pm to see the 12:05 am showing of Twilight. Yes I am a Twi-hard! Now I have been preparing myself for weeks to be disappointed in the movie. I wasn't trying to be a pessimist, just realistic. I mean how would it be possible to live up to this book?!!!
I LOVE IT! I WANT TO SEE IT AGAIN! Yes the book is still waaaay better. But then isn't that the case with all books?!
So here is my rating:
-4 STARS!
-THUMBS UP
-A+
Does that cover it?! I am swooning!

I cant wait to see the movie, I am going to try and see it sometime this weekend :)
A good review - nice. I wanted to wait and see how others liked it. If I read a book, I usually can't stand to watch the movie. I already know how it ends, and that just runis it for me. I can only hope this one is different.
Hey Sarah I saw the midnight showing as well. It was great!! It just ended so abruptly. I wanted more. I'm glad you had fun. Have you been able to take a nap?
So you did the midnight thing too?? I just got back tonight from seeing it with some of my neighbor friends. I enjoyed it but wasn't overly enthused. I think Pattinsod did a good job as Edward though and I had my doubts.
Well good for you sarah for treating yourself to something so delightful!..The last movie I saw was almost 11 years ago, I saw titanic when I was pregnant with kaitlyn, I only remember because they had just started selling hot dogs at the movies..I liked that..alot..also I saw about 20 minutes of marching penguin something but my feet were so badly swollen I couldnt sit there anymore!
I'm glad to hear the movie wasn't a disappointment. I can't believe you stayed up for the midnight showing! I'm impressed. After all, what girl doesn't have a crush on Edward?
I saw it too (friday night) and agree, it was a great movie. There of course are things you would want to change, but over all I enjoyed the movie. I think the actors did hundred better than I thought they would, and when it was all said and done, I was read to go watch it again, I want to know what I really think about the movie now that I know exactly what to expect. :o) Being there with the tons of screaming teens was so much fun, I thought I would go insane, but it was a blast listening to them scream it totally got me more into the movie. Excited they are moving on with New Moon... woohoo!!
You are a super-blogger! Your kid pictures are so cute!
I also loved the movie and would go see it again. I think I'll wait to buy the DVD though. I'm glad to hear the sequels will be bigger-budget.
Just one question....did everyone giggle through the whole show? I WAS SO ANNOYED! I wanted to yell at people. It is a show I will watch over and over and may go to again with some friends, but only if I don't have to listen to the constant giggling.
