TA TALKS BACK - JESSICA’S TWILIGHT MOVIE REVIEW
Jessica (a TA forum member) has shared her review with us:
So, Last night or should I say early this morning, I went to a midnight showing of “Twilight”. I am an uber twilight fan, a twilighter, a twi-hard, fanpire, whichever you choose to convey the message of a die hard twilight fan. I read all the books, which was hilarious feat for me, because I’m almost 5 years out of high school and have no one else to speak of, no little sisters, cousins, nieces, who are also as into the realm of Twilight. But as things turn out, I fell in love with the books, once I read half way through the first one and then read New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn in about a day and a half each.
Needless, to say I was into the books. And when all the press for the film was being released (and still is, at this point) I watched and read every possible cast and crew interview, exposé and feature there was online or on tv for me to indulge on my twilight obsessive-ness. I was in great anticipation of the amazing super-natural love story between Bella and Edward to be maximized on the big screen.
And then I did something I probably shouldn’t have. I read the script for the film. Which, I believe is the shooting script they used. I know, I know –It was super-bad of me. Especially, In retrospect, I kind of ruined my experience watching the film. But, At the time, I just couldn’t help myself, but unfortunately I knew what I was getting myself into. Which brings me back to last night and my review of twilight.

Our family gets into avid discussions about the various film versions of ‘Pride and Prejudice’. Some of us are already taking sides about ‘Twilight’. I had issues with certain things; the infamous ’sparkle’ effect’ for one, and the tiny bits of red in the eyes of the ‘wild’ vampires when I expected bright red that would be noticed by anyone. I wasn’t that put off by the running and other special effects. I’ll be buying the DVD, but it would be way cool if there was some digital ‘retooling’ of such things for the DVD.
I’m a grandmother and have really enjoyed the ‘Twilight’ series. I hope they remember the way other movies handled size differentials and keep Lautner in as Jacob. If ‘Lord of the Rings’ can do it, why not ‘New Moon’?
I don’t agree at all. The make-up was like perfect. But, this is her opinion, so I will respect it.
The problem is that almost if not all people went inside the theatre hoping for the movie to be exactly like the book. >.>
I went in there just to watch the movie, and leaving the book aside. In that result, I actually enjoyed the movie as a whole. I thought it was fantastic.
Everything was amazing, in the fact of taking in their budget.
The actors were amazing and I think that there is so much more in each and every one of the charaters and we don’t even understand how hard it is to act them out.
I was completely fine with the overall result of this movie.
I can see that the actors, producers, etc. worked their hardest and I appreciate that, because I can see it.
I would say so much more, but I don’t want people to get annoyed.
And, I would love to write a review online, but I don’t know how to do that.
But, oh well.
If you read this, then thank you.
Twilight rocks its the best
so i read the first book, but I enjoyed the movie way more for some reason. I’m stoked for new moon to come soon.
