After what seems like forever-I finally saw Twilight last nite. It was quite surreal-after reading the books for a few years now & waiting for the movie for so long-it didn't seem real. I was so excited-no giddy actually! I know some of you are surprised that I didn't go to the midnite opening -but I really wanted to see it with Danny & he went to Salt Lake for the weekend to see the BYU game. So I waited till he got back-but it was worth it to see the flick with him. Totally worth it!
I must begin by saying that I went into it with very low expectations. I mean really-how could a movie live up to a book like Twilight? I think the only movie that has ever done the book justice is 'The Notebook'. Anyway- I am happy to say that I really really liked the movie. Can't wait to see it again in fact. I think they did a great job of keeping with the feel of the book & condensing 500 pages into 2 hours. They added & changed a few things, of which only one was disappointing. But don't worry-I won't spoil anything for those of you that haven't seen it yet. And of course there weren't enough kissing scenes. :0) They did a really good job of making Edward seem dangerous & scary-more than I had made him in my mind. What a hottie! Several times I realized I was holding my breath just watching him. Silly-I know! I was excited about Robert Pattinson as Edward from the start & I think he did a great job. He seemed so tortured but still gorgeous!
Now here is the real surprise: Danny really liked it too! He was pleasantly surprised & said it was different & better than he expected. YEAH! We both agree we will have to purchase that one. Now I am anxious to see how New Moon turns out. It was my least favorite of the 4 books-but it will be cool to see how they present the Volturi. Not too excited for all the Jacob nonsense in New Moon- sorry Team Jacob but I am a hard core Team Edward fan! :0)
So there you have it: my 2 cents on one of the biggest movie openers of all time. #15 to be exact. 70 million in one weekend on a movie that cost 35 million to make. Plus it is the biggest opener for a female director. How cool is that!

Mike and I will probably go see it sometime in the near future. Love your review of it esp you thought it needed more kissing scenes. Such a romantic!
Kenny and I went and saw it a few nights ago. Loved it!! Wish we could go see it again together!! Kenny liked it too. Can't wait for the next one.
P.S. Edward is sooo hot, and I was a bit giddy too!
Yay! I saw it last night:) I got all smiley reading your post and remembering it- I loved it too. I had a few little issues with some of the scenes, but I LOVED Edward and Bella. Can't wait for the next one either!
