I got to see Twilight last night. I've read other's reviews on the movie and thought I would add my own. I am usually not much of a critic....I go to see a movie for enjoyment only. I tend to look for the good in all...even if there are legitimate reasons to critique. I just like a good, clean, entertaining story. Having said that...I'll try my hand at a few movie highs and lows for me!
High: Getting to see the movie with 22 of my friends, all from my ward! I was crazy enough to plan and buy 23 reserved seating tickets for everyone. It was not hard to find that many people that wanted to go. It was a fun girls night out and everything worked out just fine!
Low: Sitting next to the 3 girls on my left (I didn't know them!) who talked and narrated the whole movie. I wanted to Shshshshshshs them about 100 times! Ugh...they bugged...but of course I didn't say anything!
High: Seeing the movie and remembering everything that happened. It's been awhile since I've read Twilight...and have read all the other ones in between so it's hard to remember everything that happened. I thought the movie followed along well with the book..other than leaving out a lot of little details which I'm sure is impossible to capture in a movie.
Low: I didn't like the actor who played Edward. It's not how I pictured him. I didn't think he was great actor. I don't think he's that cute.
High: Having Edward (including the actor) grow on me throughout the movie. I found him to be more charming toward the end.
High/Low: I liked Bella's actress for the most part. I think she fit the part. On the other hand..there were times that I don't think she expressed herself very well. I'm kind of so/so on that!
Low: Having the movie end. I liked it over all. The book is always better, but the movie was entertaining, suspenseful (even already knowing what's going to happen) and best of all, romantic! I would have liked to spent more time with Edward and Bella on screen! (Ha,Ha...I sound like a romantic fool and a Twilight junkie.. which I'm actually not!)
There you go... that's my critique. What's yours?

I liked it too. Cheesy at times, but that was to be expected. Edward also grew on me. I was really skeptical at first first, but like him now. Thanks for all the planning and effort you put into it, it was a lot of fun.
Thanks for planning a fun outting! The movie was... disappointing but at least I was there with other Twilight fans and not Nick. I would never live it down.
So much fun all around. Thanks for all the work organizing it. We'll have to do it all again for the next one! Thanks, Jen. You are wonderful.
