In one sentence: I loved it!! When I saw the trailer, earlier in the year, I was a bit "worried" that the wolves didn't look like they were described in the book. As in, they did not look very big. However I was really pleased to see that in the film they did indeed appear much bigger than a normal wolf :)The story was great. Of course. As we all know who love and have read the books. So there's not so much to comment on that bit. I think it was pretty close to the book story. But there were a few little details/parts where I found myself thinking "hey that's not in the book!"
One thing that I always find myself wondering about though (and the same goes for the Harry Potter films too, maybe even more so) - how much sense would the film make to someone who's not read the books? How many little bits do you not pick up on or get? But then again, I guess most people who would go and watch it are fans of the books anyway :)
Another thing that I keep thinking about though... You know how you read a book and picture the characters in your head and they look a certain way? Robert Pattinson just isn't Edward to me!! Don't get me wrong. He's a great actor and acts a very good Edward... he just looks all wrong to me :( Everyone raves about how great he is as Edwards so I must be the only person in the world who thinks this. LOL! Taylor Lautner on the other hand - great, great Jacob. Both the acting and the looks - perfect fit to my imagination :)
I definitely loved the film and I'll be there getting my copy when it's released on DVD :)
Right I'm off as I'm busy working on my Christmas journal. Putting together all the pages and making the covers from scratch. Quite a task.
Swoon a roonie at Taylor Lautner.
ReplyDeleteMy problem is Bella, both as a character and actress.
Edward would be better off without her and better with me.
However, Team Jacob all the way :D
Glad you had a great time! can't wait to see it!
no u r not the only one who thinks abt Edward like dat.. i also imagined it very different...anyways thank for sharing it :)
ReplyDeleteI just don't get all the Robert Pattinson hype. Taylor Lautner on the other hand I totally get but for a 30something woman to think like that it is so so wrong lol.
ReplyDeleteI found myself thinking the same as you about bits of the book and how they were different. After watching it and going through it in my head afterwards I can see why certain bits were missed out/changed and I think it all fit together very well.
Bring on 9th July and the Eclipse release.
I have to agree, the Edward in my head is very different as well, however Jacob - be still my heart :)
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you about Edward! Robert is all wrong and is not that great an actor. I also can't stand the Bella actress. They were both a bit better in New Moon but in Twilight it was appalling. They seemed to be like robots with how choppy they spoke and it all just seemed so forced. Jacob/Taylor on the other hand is a perfect fit for me too! And something about him makes Bella more believable, they have chemistry and it seems more natural.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the next movie and I hope it gets better! Might have to read the book again though as I forget stuff pretty quickly!
