twilight

WHAT a disappointment. i've been hearing that from people who read the book first and i actually read the book (it's kind of hard to admit it). i have to agree. ugh. they should not make movie adaptations of movies unless they're gonna make it long and detailed. somehow, the movie kicked ass in box office. i think it's kind of like what happened with sex and the city. terrible movie but factors such as the hype, fans and boyfriends are what brought in the dough. 

i liked reading the book but i didn't like the book so much. does that make sense? it was really easy reading and entertaining because in a way, it's such a korean drama and it's kind of ridiculous, what this 16/17 year old is going through. it's funny. plus i enjoyed all the cheesy parts. 

the movie was terrible. first of all, the casting was all wrong. many girls think robert pattinson is hot... he SO is NOT. in the book, the vampires are supposed to be ridiculously irresistible to their prey = humans. robert pattinson does not make my heart throb or anything close to it. he's not even cute to me. as for kristen stewart, i didn't like her at first but i liked her better after the movie. she fits the part. rosalie and other vampires were not attractive either. i'm not being shallow, i'm just saying that according to the book, they're supposed to be hot beyond hell. and don't get me started on jacob black... 

they also sort of tweaked some parts to fit the movie. and of course, they left out a lot of things too. they could have done a better job of adapting the book into the movie. the way they did it made the film 1. a bad movie in general 2. a bad movie adaption of a novel. 

i am sad i wasted money to see this in theatre. i should've seen quantum solace instead. all the twilight fans i know have told me they were a bit disappointed and weren't too fond of the movie- but i really wanted to decide for myself =(  if you really want to watch it, go to watch-movies.net. it's probably bad quality but hey, it's free.
