My Twilight Review

Forever Love
I really don't want to give too much away because I think that you should experience this wonderful film without having read or seen (too many) spoilers. :)  I had gone into it having read the book (DUH) and having watched a great deal of behind-the-scenes footage from the film.  Some things I did not do before watching it was read the script and even read through the illustrated movie companion.  I knew the story but I didn't want to know everything about the movie's story so, as much as I could, I held back.....

Performance-wise, I think everyone did a spot on job of playing their characters.  Robert Pattinson NAILED Edward Cullen.  Forgetting about the looks - because Robert is a very attractive guy - he played him oh-so well.  He was tortured, self-deprecating, protective, noble, fierce, curious, frustrated, amazed and amazing.  He mesmerized me on-screen.  Kristen Stewart, I thought, was great casting for Bella.  She looks how I pictured Bella would look and she played the part how I thought it should be played.  She was clumsy, shy, besotted, dazzled, curious, scared, pained, and determined. 

During the scenes with Edward and Bella, I literally felt taken in by them.  Not that I wanted to but I couldn't pull my eyes away from the screen when they were on.  I've read Twilight more than once but I had to hear every word, every ounce of dialogue because I just had to hear these scenes that I had come to love from the book come alive on screen(So take note...PLEASE don't ruin it for yourself or others.....watch the movie in AWED silence like I did.)

The meadow scene was different (as I think we can all tell from the trailer and tv spots) but I loved it.  Truly, I thought it was perfect.

The kiss....no way I'm giving too much away here but I thought it was just as it should be and, LITERALLY, I felt like I had butterflies in my stomach as I was watching it.  The chemistry between Rob and Kristen was apparent here. *sigh*

The fight....WOW.  Nuff said.  Enjoy it for yourself.

Prom....Robert Pattinson in a suit!  Verra, verra nice......another great scene of many, many great scenes.  There is definitely an ending that gives way to New Moon (which had better get made).

Okay, not too detailed but I hope enough to tantalize you even more.  I will be gladly seeing it again three more times this week.  Um, yeah......
