Comments on: Twilight for Twilighters — the NNT Exclusive Review! http://twilightnovelnovice.com/2008/11/19/twilight-for-twilighters-the-nnt-exclusive-review/ Thu, 09 Sep 2010 16:29:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Rachael http://twilightnovelnovice.com/2008/11/19/twilight-for-twilighters-the-nnt-exclusive-review/#comment-2241 Rachael Thu, 27 Nov 2008 00:27:41 +0000 http://novelnovicetwilight.wordpress.com/?p=4923#comment-2241 That was a great review. I only need to say that I felt exactly the same way. I've now seen twilight 5 times and it only gets better each time. The first time I saw it at the midnight showing and I had a hard time not comparing what I was seeing with the book or wondering how they were going to handle certain scenes. The 2nd time I took my husband to an earlier show on Fri and (amazing) he loved it. I also enjoyed it more and was able to just sit back and enjoy it. My husband now wants to read the book. The third time was a later show Fri for girls night out and I also took my 14 yr daughter. I saw it with my younger daughter monday and my husband wanted to see it again, so we went again tuesday. And I still want to see it again. I think it was the truest adaption from book to screen since LOTR. It stayed true to the characters and to heart of the story. I can't wait for new moon and I hope with a bigger budget they will be able to do more and flesh out the stories more. Thanks for the great review. That was a great review.

Rob and Kristen really nailed the tension in their building relationship, and the chemistry between the two of them made my head spin. Especially the kiss scene... so good! They did an excellent job in portraying the main plot points, and the voiceover actually added a lot to the movie, including moving the story along. I do wish that some of the other characters were fleshed out a bit more, but I understand that with the time constraints, the movie would be like five hours along. Plus sometimes I think the pacing was a little fast or it didn't bridge the gaps as well as they could have, but all in all, a beyond stellar job. Plus, I could actually hear what was going on because thankfully, people refrained from screaming through most of the movie. And if I could have, I would have bought another ticket and gone straight back in to watch it again. :) I read your review before watching the movie and then again after watching the movie last night, and I must say you captured EXACTLY what I felt after watching it.

I live in a small town in Alaska on the Aleutian Peninsula, so if I wanted to see the movie, I'd have to pay for a round trip to Anchorage, which is about $1000! And, the town that I live in is basically cut off from the rest of the world, you can't even drive to another town, you have to fly, or take a hovercraft. I'm definitely in love with everything Twilight, and I wish I was as lucky as all of you are to see it on it's release date...

I wanted to love it so much but I found it so bad at times that I couldn't even watch =( I know everyone has different taste.......hopefully I will like it more the second time around. At the end no one clapped in my theater....everyone kinda just sat there like WTF did we just see and the girl behind me blurted out "this sucks". A couple a row behind me actually got up and left in the middle. I just don't know what to say.......it hurts me so much to say all of this because I love the books and Rob and Kristen. I just came out feeling very underwhlemed. Only plus to the movie is Rob's hottnes. I don't mean to hate on the movie I just expeced so much, I waited 3 hours in line to see it and now I kinda wish I didn't. P.S to Summit.....please please get someone else to direct New Moon!!!

I loved your rating, and thank-you so much for taking the time to write that! (From the looks of it, it must have taken you an awful long time!) But I plan to see the movie tomorrow afternoon and I have already had my tickets for pratically EVER and because of this review, I probably will have a better time while experiencing the movie for the first time.
