im not going to tell you the story. if you have read the books or see the movie, you'll know how it goes. I will say this, even though it has been a long time since I read the books, this movie, I think, was the closest representation of them. It stuck fairly close to the story I remembered. Maybe for twilight's haters, this 2 hours movie was just like two hours of sparkly vampire goodness. but for me it was a movie.
most of girls is on Edward's team. a super handsome vampire with a very romantic dead-heart. he's cold but get so warm when he's in love. who doesnt want to be his love? yeah, me. im on Jacob's team. the werewolf one. he is.. Jacob. the hot one. the funny one. the hurt one. im not trying to act like a freak right now but i think he's good at almost everything. well, enough to describe how he is looks like. Jacob is perfect.
back to the movie, the love triangle between Edward, Bella, and Jacob was handled very well and made for some comical as well as some steamy scenes. Girls, Jacob runs around half-naked again through most of the movie, even when there was no need for him to be half-naked. Lots of eye candy there. The first kiss between Bella and Jacob, ending in her breaking her hand on his face, was a well done scene that had the audience practically falling out of their seats as they laughed. The "passing off" scene between Edward and Jacob was pretty entertaining. She goes from one hot kiss from Edward, to a half-naked Jacob who wraps her in his warm arms. The look on Edwards face was hilarious. I really enjoyed the love triangle scenes. There were some great one-liners in there too. Jacob telling Edward he was "hotter" than him, while keeping Bella from freezing to death, got a roar of laughter from everyone on the cinema, including Tir!
they touched a bit on the fact that Bella is dying to sleep with Edward and while that scene left the crowd with their own set of blue balls, the scene where Charlie and Bella attempt to discuss the "birds and bee's" gave us yet another scene to laugh at.
a thing that bothered me was the odd sound effects. When a vampire was killed they sounded like breaking glass. Now I understand that they are supposed to have skin as hard as marble, as stated in the books, but that sound effect really irked me. During the battle scenes it was everywhere. Also when they had limbs removed their insides were silvery as if like ice. I am not sure why they chose to represent them like that but it really took me out of the scene as I was trying to figure it out.
The battle scenes were kind of cool, but they were too quick to really appreciate. I'm not a big action buff so I'll leave comments to the audience on that one. Suffice to say I liked the wolves and they did a fair amount of vampire shredding. In-fact, I think they were the only ones who got to bite anyone. Again I say it ... This is a vampire flick. Let me see someone get bitten by a vampire. Sheesh!
well over all, this is the best book-to-movie adaptation movie i ever watched after Harry Potter. and this is the best romantic story i ever heard after Anna and the Kind maybe? whatever i love it and Tir loves it too. im so ready to read the next book that i already bought, Breaking Down.
Goodnight love, dont let the vampire bites you!
