By a poster named: esme35putting my OCD hat back on, here are the things I LOVED!
* The Cullens entrance. Not the same as the book, but awesome!![]()
* Charlie (Billy Burke did an amazing job there.)
* All the close ups on the eyes! Edward's especially!!!![]()
* The use of most of the original dialog from the meadow scene.
* The first kiss!!!
* Vampire baseball... especially Jasper juggling the bat at the plate. I could have
watched that all day.
* Edward's jibe at Jacob at the prom.
* Finally...Stephenie Meyer's cameo!!!! Did I totally miss a post/article/story about
this?! It was a total surprise to me!
So the reviews are coming out and so far all I see are positives but mind you we are nuts over Twilight over on Twilightmoms lolI was also lucky enough to go to a pre-screening. I just got home. I really liked it! I'm not sure how I would have felt about the film if I had not read the books, but just like when I saw Harry Potter, I'm not sure it's possible to separate your mind in that way. I think if you know the book, then the movie just plays differently for you. I thought Rob Pattinson really had Edward's intensity down, and Kristen was Bella to a tee. I agree that the actor playing Charlie was great. The kids at the school were really great too. I loved the first kiss. It's much longer and more intense than the one in the previews.
All in all, I had a really great experience and I can't wait to see it again on Friday. It definately needs a second viewing.
