I haven't been this psyched about a guy in a film since Johnny Depp played Captain Jack. So, I donned my "Team Edward" shirt and marched forth to the movie. I was very happy with how much of the dialogue Summit kept from Stephenie Meyer's novel....not that I had the novel memorized or anything haha.
Ya see, Rob Pattinson is one of those unfortunate men who does not photograph all that well. He's a hit and miss...and with many of the Twilight promotional shots...I personally thought they were misses. But as soon as the film started I was captivated. He was exactly the way I pictured Edward in my head!!!! If my boyfriend wouldn't have been seated next to me, I may have jumped out of my seat and attacked the screen.
The only problem I had with the film is the lack of development between Bella and Edward's relationship. It was just like....Oh here's this boy. Oh he's a vampire. Oh I can't live without him. But the little details within all of those things seemed to be lost. I think they were trying to jam pack as much of Meyer's novel in as possible but I would have preferred more development with the characters. Not only that but Summit just announced yesterday that since Twilight did so well this weekend that they would definitely be making New Moon, the second novel in the series. Only problem? Edward barely even appears in the second novel!!! That won't make many new or old fans too happy now that we are oh so in love with him haha. The second book focuses on the friendship between Bella and her Native American/werewolf best friend, Jacob (of which was only in about two scenes in this film). I'm not so sure how well received New Moon will be because out of all four books it is definitely the weakest.
I NEED to go see Twilight again! Anybody wanna escort a lady? ; )
