Recovering.............

So I went to the midnight showing of Twilight last night. By the way, this is not recommended if you have a 2 year old. What I mean by this is, if you are feeling all crazy, and need a night out with the girls, so you decide this would be an awesome idea, but then you don't get to bed until 3am-ish and then your cute little muffin wakes up at 6ish, it makes for a very, VERY long day.

I am hesitant to do a review this early because I know many of you haven't seen it yet. Therefore I will try to be very vague, and if you don't want to read this....I understand-so stop now.

First of all, I need to say that I have never been to a movie that I have read the
book. This is sad, but I am not much of a reader, that is, until this series came along. I knew the movie wouldn't be as good as the book-it's impossible. There is no way that you can cram so many pages into 2 hours, I was prepared for that. So, some of it felt very rushed (obviously). I thought the actors for the main characters were better than I thought they would be. Rob Pattinson is a great Edward and all of the "tension", charm, and smoothness was portrayed very well by him. It was also a lot funnier than I thought it would be-but this is because I read the book, so even though so many things weren't explained (due to lack of time), knowing the background made some of the little comments throughout pretty hilarious. In fact, I found myself laughing out loud many times.

The action was awesome-particularly (this was on previews, so I am not ruining anything) the baseball scene and the dance studio scene-very intense. There was also some cheesy parts that they could have left out or substituted for more of what was in the book (you will know what I am talking about when you see it). I know this is very vague-but like I said before, I do not want to ruin it for those going to see it. I do hope if you go see it, that you have read the book, otherwise it may come across as a teeny bopper cheesy movie.

So overall, I liked it. And I am going to see it again tonight (long story) so I may have a different account as of tonight because the theater in my town has a 21 and over showing, I guess to cut down on the screaming when the hot guy comes on the screen. While on the way home, I was thinking that I sat through 3 hours of Titanic and The Lord of the Rings, why couldn't they have added another hour to this???? Please leave your comments if you have seen it......hope I didn't ruin anything!!
