Really......

So I saw Twilight last night. I am not going to say I LOVED it but I didn't HATE it either. I feel like because so many people loved the books that we were just expected to LOVE the movie....me not so much.

Really I had low expectations for this movie...until everyone and their dog saw it and said it was amazing.....really was I watching the same movie??? The begining with a lot of scenes at the High School killed me ALL of those kids were totally ridiculous. BAD BAD acting. I could have acted better really. But once I got passed that and the totally ridiculous people behind us. I enjoyed it. Really like I said I wasn't expecting much. I am actually just kind of over all the hype. Really I loved the books, I mean they were hideously cheesy but I enjoyed the easy no challenge read. So all in all the movies were like the books juvenile but entertaining.
Totally my opinion so don't hate!!

I totally agree. I didn't hate it, but it wasn't as good as I'd hoped. You could tell it was very low budget. And yes, the acting left something to be desired. I found myself laughing through most of it because it was just awkward and Edwards facial expressions were ridiculous sometimes.

Ryan liked it enough to start reading the books though. We saw it on Friday and he started the book that night. He's already almost done with the second book. He's really enjoying them.

WHATEVER!!! That was the whole point that all those people at school be totally cheesy because that is exactly how Bella perceived them. I thought it was funny, cheesy and I think that was just how it was meant to be....that's just MY opinion so don't hate.

You put it EXACTLY how I was thinking about it late last night. I just expected the special effects to be more special and I thought the acting could have been better and really, when you picture what people are suppose to look like in your mind (Alice) it was hard for me to get past that. I had already accepted Edward as Edward and Bella as Bella but some of the others it was hard.
Great post.

I expected it to be that way because Harry Potter's first movie was like that. The acting wasn't that great and it totally could have been better. so that helped me to like it. If it is anything like the Harry Potter's it gets better with every movie! I really did like the guy who played Edward though, he totally grew on me and I am a huge fan.
