So everyone keeps telling me about how good Twilight is. And the "everyone" I'm referring to are not just teeny-boppers but even guys in their late 20s of all things (that would be you Biaozeebub). So tell me, is it really "OMG" good? Should I read the books first or just go straight to the movie?
i am 38 i've read the 4 books..lol..since my 16yr old daughter's so into it..i was curious..it was i think better than harry potter..the books i mean..since i read all 7 books of harry..we're goin to watch the movie of course..it's exciting..i know story is unbelievable..for a change i guess..watch it first then read the book..
In my defense, I only knew about it because girls have told me about it. I certainly don't know how good it is since I haven't read the books but if everyone says it's good then it must be, right? Doesn't mean I'm going to watch it though. I, uh, have better things to do.
the book was really good... ^.^ i started reading the 1st book coz i got curious about it and i just couldn't stop reading untill i finished the whole saga...very
i'm hoping the movie will be as good as the book itself or better..
yeah it sounds like I should probably start reading the books.
Trish38 - glad to hear that it Twilight is good for all ages! And Biaozeebub - it's ok to admit you want to see the movie. LOL.
Oh and I just bumped into this article on Digg. The title reads "If you are an adult and excited to see Twilight you are an idiot". It's an argument over how bad or good the movie is.
Honestly ther movie doesn't make me want to read the books or have anything to do with Twilight. Its like all these others movies that come from books, but this is worse because its like Hannah Montana in movie form with some kind of vampire and some cooky girl. Yeah, honestly I can't wait for this craze to be over with as much as I'm ready for the Hannah Montana and High School Musical[ which is truly terrible]] crazes to end. Its only a matter of time.
u know wat. im not dat kind of person hu reli do good at bukz. 8 actually doesnt exist on my vocabulary. but since 1 of my frnds kip on talking and talking bout this novel.,i was curious.,so i tried 8. until OMG.!i got addicted. i can so rel8. 8s not dat i was in lov w/ a vampire but the thought dat Bella s a typical s2dent.,i can. ..ahh.!bzta. im currently madly deeply crazy in love w/ edward cullen.!
I am a 62 yr old grandmother and I LOVED the book! The movie isn't that great so I suggest reading the book after seeing the movie otherwise you will be disapponited.
To answer your questions, let me start with the last question.
And I quote "Should I read the books first or just go straight to the movie?"
-watch the movie first then read the book. because you will be dissappointed with the details they missed. I know I was. So watch the movie first then read the book. read all the 4 books. that's my suggestion.
Regarding your first question, "So tell me, is it really "OMG" good?"
-it's fairly good but it could be better. the actos for the main characters can give more effort on their acting, if you know what I mean. I think Steven Straight would be fit for the Jacob role.I am looking forward to the next movie, if they will make one. I am hopeful it will be better (it should be better, i mean the author did put great efforts in creating twilight, the movie makers should reciprocate that) that's my two cents
i like movies but i like it free so i'll just wait for jaman to offer it in the future. no worry, i''m not in a hurry to see it immediately. books? yeah, well i like books too, but i still like to read free...hahaha...just couldn't afford paid entertainment!
so it seems like if you like romantic films you will like the movie? i think i'll see the movie first because by the time i finish the book ( i just saw how thick the book is!!) the movie will be out of the theaters.
i havent read the books and i read some pretty scathing reviews about the movie so I went in to see it with pretty low expectations ... but it ended up being pretty good! the main characters are not the best actors, for sure, but they're still cute, the plotline is decent and there are some breathtaking shots of the scenery. overall, it could have been a lot better with more seasoned actors (and a better makeup artist!), but it was still a good, entertaining film.
fyi, one scene is pretty bloody but for the most part, it stays well within its pg-13 range.
Go see the movie! It's awesome! I was 'DRAGGED' to the movies against my own will (literally, there was a knife to my throat if I didn't comply). Despite being terrified for my own life, I did enjoy the movie in fear.
its always dissappoint me reading the book then watching the movie, so if i read the book i will not watch the movie and if i didnt read the book i will just go straight to the movie since book are always far better than the movie.
i was so caught up in the hype bout twilight(the movie0 i ordered the book,as some1 who has read the complete 7 harrypotter novels and watched the movies 1-5,i was dissapointed,i actually slept reading the book,took me 3days to finish it(kpt on repeati the same thing ova and ova again i swear in just 2omins i knew what bella would do the nxt day) and am definitely not interested in reading new moon,but i will try and keep an open mind 4 the movie hope it doesnt suck as much as the book did,
I am 48 and bought and read all four books this summer...initially I thought they were adult fiction, that is why...i enjoyed them, they are a fast read...i also read Stephenie Meyer's unfinished manuscript Midnight Sun which is available on her website. This is a draft and tells the Twilight story from Edward's point of view. Have seen the movie twice...liked all the good looking people in it. And the tale of true love that goes on forever.... The movie tries to remain faithful to the book but the screenplay definitely had to be adapted to fit into a two hour slot.
Honestly ... I am WAY TOO OBSESSED with Twilight!! I love Edward!! I made 2 scriblers of Twilight!! LOL!! The books were awesome (im rereading them). And I loved the movie!! I also have a ton of t-shirts and posters and my friends say i need "help". LOL!! I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do!! :P
