Though I'm going to try and read the Twilight series this year.<BR/><BR/>The special effects - I think they are right. I was going to comment on them. I'm not sure there's an uncheesy way to make someone's skin sparkle all over so I think I always knew that effect was going to have problems. :)<BR/><BR/>And the other effect that looked a little dodgy to me - the running up and along trees I have a slightly soft spot for. As it was used quite a lot on Xena, of which I was a huge fan, so I'm prepared to forgive that one too.LesleyWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14059048442986942270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982413406210688800.post-15436370353870097502009-01-06T05:54:00.000+01:002009-01-06T05:54:00.000+01:00I didn't like the first book, so didn't read the o...I didn't like the first book, so didn't read the others. But my niece is a HUGE fan and she and her friends liked the movie with reservations. They intensely disliked the casting of Edward -- the actor wasn't good-looking enough -- and they thought the casting of Bella would be better for Bella "after" rather than Bella "before." Whatever that means.<BR/><BR/>Also, being rather sophisticated moviegoers (although only 14) they thought the production values of the movie were really quite poor and were appalled at how cheesy some of the effects were.

I ...I watched the movie and didn't love or hate it. I went the day it was released with a co-worker who is obsessed with all Twilight things. She adored the show.<BR/><BR/>It felt choppy to me. I think because the books are told in first person and laced with emotion from Bella's point of view. They obviously can't do that in the movie and for me it made for choppy transitions, a lot of quiet looks between characters and a crap load of information being dropped from the film.<BR/><BR/>I will prob. watch the next movie, but maybe at home instead of at the theater.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982413406210688800.post-76355750397181930572009-01-03T14:09:00.000+01:002009-01-03T14:09:00.000+01:00Li - I probably wouldn't have gone if my niece had...Li - I probably wouldn't have gone if my niece hadn't wanted to go and see it. It was the movie she picked. I'm going to read the book again and maybe try and finish the whole series in 2009.<BR/><BR/>Marg - I think we have very similar views, except for the fact that in a strange way I quite like Robert Pattinson. lol. And I wanted to mention how much the actor who played Charlie nailed it. I thought he did a really good job.<BR/><BR/>That's my main thing when coming out of the cinema - do I feel like I wasted my money. As long as I don't have that feeling I'm happy.LesleyWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14059048442986942270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982413406210688800.post-14646597660397281232009-01-02T23:56:00.000+01:002009-01-02T23:56:00.000+01:00I saw this movie last week.

Part of it is that while I think Robert Pattinson got Edward down, I don't really think he is that good looking. I thought Bella did a good job (I want her hair).<BR/><BR/>My favourite minor character was definitely Charlie. <BR/><BR/>I am glad that I went to see it, and that I saw it on the big screen. It isn't my favourite movie ever, but it wasn't wasted money to go and see it!Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508430635744720721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982413406210688800.post-62436780919037438712009-01-02T21:33:00.000+01:002009-01-02T21:33:00.000+01:00Oh interesting.

I've more or less decided not to go watch the movie, but it's always interesting reading other people's take on it.<BR/><BR/>A couple of UK reviews I've read have the reviewer admitting that there was something about the movie that worked despite them expecting not to like it, can't remember which papers now though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
