Hooray! to all of "Twilight's" biggest fans who stuck it out over the past year, waiting for the film to finally appear in theaters around the country! Many reviews have come in and overall, I'd say people enjoyed it. Critics from all over seem to be more satisfied and didn't think the book blew the movie out of the water. However, I'm sure most people can agree that the book is still better. How can it not be?
My opinion: I felt that the book was better, but the film definitely did a fabulous job portraying the state of Washington (under a constant misty rain) as beautiful, alive and filled with green life. Also, Stephenie Meyer's descriptive tale of how the vampires and wolves came to be was much more drawn out in the book than in Catherine Hardwicke's film, which is understandable given the fact that Hardwicke, as a director, had to squeeze in about 544 pages into two hours of film.
I was very satisfied with the actors they chose for the film as well as the scene snapshots they had in black and white during the credits when they ended with the red apple in Edward's arms. And one last thing, the fact that the last scene before the credits rolled showed Victoria ready for revenge made for a very suspenseful ending!
This leads me to my next comment: Summit Entertainment has announced they will produce the second film, "New Moon."
