If you’ve seen the movie, please post what you thought about it. How well did the actors fit the book characters? Favorite scenes? Something in the book that you wanted to see but didn’t make it to the movie?
I’m going tonight and will update after I get home.

I am super excited about this movie. I think they picked the perfect actors to play Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart). I know there is no way they can cram everything that is in the book into the 2 hr film but I hope they touch on the best parts. I will be at the theater tomorrow watching it so I will be sure and post an update!
So for those of you who have no idea what the movie/book is about, here’s a great description taken directly from the twilight movie website:
TWILIGHT is an action-packed, modern-day love story between a teenage girl and a vampire. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother re-marries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn’t expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she’s ever met. Edward is a vampire, but he doesn’t have fangs and his family is unique in that they choose not to drink human blood. Intelligent and witty, Edward sees straight into Bella’s soul. Soon, they are swept up in a passionate, thrilling and unorthodox romance. To Edward, Bella is what he has waited 90 years for – a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will Edward & Bella do when a clan of new vampires – James (Cam Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi) and Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre) – come to town and threaten to disrupt their way of life?
ABOUT TWILIGHT: Based on the #1 New York Times Best-Selling series with over 17 million books in print by Stephenie Meyer, TWILIGHT is a cultural phenomenon, with a dedicated fan base that eagerly awaits this movie. There are over 350 fan sites devoted to TWILIGHT, and it has been chosen as the New York Times Editor’s Choice, a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year, Amazon’s “Best Book of the Decade…So Far”, Teen People’s “Hot List” Pick, and The American Library Association’s “Top Ten Best Book for Young Adults” and “Top Ten Books for Reluctant Readers,” among others. Critically acclaimed director Catherine Hardwicke brings to life this modern, visual, and visceral Romeo & Juliet story of the ultimate forbidden love affair – between vampire and mortal.

Okay, I have to admit that I too, along with all the giddly teenage girls, have been swept up in all the hype of the Twilight book series by Stephenie Meyer. I have read all four books: Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn and I have to say that they all are by far the BEST books I have ever read. Never been much into the whole vampire novels but there is something just magical and so intriging about the relationship between the mortal and immortal in this story.
I can’t wait to see the Twilight movie that comes out on November 21, 2008 (tomorrow). View the movie trailer here. I heard that as long as the movie grosses over $150 million then they will be working on the sequels. They will definitely be getting my money tomorrow.
