My wonderful husband took me to see Twilight last night. I bought the tickets in the morning, which is good because both theaters were sold out by that evening. It started out a bit doubtful (lots of narrating, which I think is a cheating way of telling a story in a movie) and cheesy acting, but I liked it more and more as it went on.
The casting in this movie was awesome. All the Cullens were great (except Jasper - we couldn't help but laugh whenever we saw him. I know he was supposed to be in pain, but he just looked constipated). I also really liked her high school friends Jessica and Angela. Mike could have been better-looking and Eric didn't look or act anything like I imagined, but he sure was fun. One of my favorite supporting actors in the movie was Bella's dad. He was cute and had a few really funny lines.
Although neither of the 2 main characters were quite how I imagined them as I read the book, I still really liked them both, and they worked great together. Edward started out on the scary/moody side, but as they got together he cheered up and got much less frightening.
Okay, so he's still a vampire and wants to drink Bella's blood, but Oh! how that makes him more appealing. Don't ask me why, it just does. I LOVED the vampire aspect of the movie - seeing it on the screen was so much more vivid than the book - especially when she's researching vampires online. That part was just awesome. And Dave actually enjoyed the movie too. He liked the action and the cinematography. It was a great date movie. I can't wait to see how they do the 2nd book with the wolves and Italian vampires. They better hurry up, too, because of course Edward has to stay 17.
