Twilight: Not going to lie, I might go see it again

Loved it. But, I'm going to go ahead and be honest about this. Twilight was a movie for the fans. Had you not read the books, you would have thought it was ridiculous. I get that. But I thought for as hyped as it was, the movie was pretty great. Taking such a big book that's packed with such intricate detail and so many characters, and transforming it into a movie is not easy, but I thought they did the best they could do. Had they included every scene, every line and every detail from the book, the movie would have been like 6 hours. Robert Pattinson (Edward) and Kristen Stewart (Bella) were amazing, I thought. Their chemistry was perfect and they totally carried the movie together. Other notables: Jessica was hilarious. Total scene stealer. Charlie was great.  The perfect combination of awkwardness, tenderness and wit.  I really like Rosalie and Jasper too. Actually, I loved all the Cullens and thought everyone embodied their character so well. I only wish they had more scenes.

One of the best parts of the movie I thought was how you get to see how hard it is for Edward to be around Bella. You don't really get that sense from the book, seeing as it's from Bella's perspective. But in the movie, Edwards facial expressions are priceless and he really shows how difficult it is for him to be close to Bella, even though he loves her. 

Granted, there were a few parts here and there that I thought were a little sketchy.  When Edward is trying to scare Bella with his abilities for example. That was a little rushed and messy.  But overall I was so happy with it and I'm so glad they left the ending open for the sequel, New Moon, which I read has the green light for production.
