Twilight the Movie

Sorry Fanpires, its been a long time but I have been crazy busy with my classes and also seeing the new Twilight Movie.
I actually really liked the film. Last Saturday I went to the 4 p.m. show at the Livonia AMC with my friends. We got our tickets during the week and made sure we were at the theater an hour and half early. As the light went down in the theater the excitement in the audience grew. And then when Edward (Rob Pattinson) came on the screen the tweenies screamed. LOL Ok, I did a little too.
Anyway the first time I saw the movie I really liked it. I could have went without the cheesy guitar riffs throughout the whole movie and I did think that the beginning was a little choppy. But I loved the baseball scene and I thought the ending flowed very well.
I think you had to go into this movie and not expect it to be exactly like the book. If it was exactly like the book it would have been a 4 hour movie. People who went into this movie expecting it to be an Epic I think were disappointed. I went in there thinking some things would be different. The movie is never the same as the book. I would have changed or focused on some things that I don't think the movie did. Example, in the book I really liked the bloodtyping part which was not in the movie at all. I think they should have gone more in depth with the dinner scene as well. Also when Bella outsmarts Alice and Jasper at the airport I think should have been in the movie. But if you added all those parts it might have been too much.
I did like the characters. I thought the actors they picked were perfect once watching the film. And although I have knocked him in past posts I did like Taylor as Jacob.
Above is my take about my first experience with Twilight. Last night I saw it again.......and I loved it so much more. It was ten times better the second time around. There were things that I noticed that I didn't the first time. The first time I thought there was something off about Rob Pattinson as Edward but last night I thought he did a perfect job. The chemistry between Kristen Stewart and him I felt so much more. It by far is my favorite movie of the year. I look forward to New Moon...

Please post your thoughts about what you thought of the movie.

Reread Twilight

Good Morning,
Sunday I went to my parents house to pick up my niece's Twilight book because I have borrowed mine out to my sister in law. I got my niece's Twilight book to give to my boyfriend's sister for her to read because she has seen the previews for Twilight and wants to go with us to see the movie. I wasn't seeing her until Wednesday so Sunday night I decided I would try to reread Twilight in two days.
The reason I am writing this short post today is because I highly recommend rereading Twilight. I got the book finished in time to give it to Megan and I also found that I enjoyed it so much more the second time around. I had forgot from reading the other three books and also "Midnight Sun," how good Twilight is. It is probably my favorite of the series. There are things I picked up on the second time around that I missed the first time. I found Bella adorable, which by the end of Eclipse I was pretty annoyed with her. I fell in love again with Edward which I actually never fell out of love with him. :) And this is going to be shocking to all that know how much I am Team Edward, but I actually remembered that I did like Jacob in the first book. He was the cute little boy that Bella seduced by the beach again and not the cocky best friend.
It was refreshing to read the book again and have Twilight fresh in my mind before I see the movie.
I guess in this post, let's just talk about if you reread any of the books not just Twilight and let me know if you found it better the second time around as I did?
