So I may have watched this movie twice now, and I kind of sort of downloaded the soundtrack, which I am listening to a little bit and ummm...I'm like 15 years old. Hey, at least I don't have the pink streak in my hair anymore-that would drop me to 13. I did like the movie. I had to see it a second time to decide. I think my favorite is still the baseball scene-just because it is EXACTLY how I played it out in my mind while reading the book. Critique? Well, I was a little disappointed in some of the dialogue-I really feel like some of the stuff straight from the book was less cheesy than what they ended up saying. I was a bit bugged that they added scenes not in the book and left some important scenes out that I think should have been there. I can understand if they have to cut scenes due to time-but if they are filling in with other stuff that wasn't in the book-that bugs. Overall casting was SO much better than I originally thought it was going to be. Just looking at stills of the actors that they cast pre-movie I was very worried. I really like how they all turned out. Edward and Bella-perfect. I didn't think I was going to like Jasper and I think he worked great. They really needed to tone down Carlisle's makeup-I think he would have been so much better toned down a bit. OH! The Edward in the sun thing-ug. ew. sad. Oh well. I can't think of how they could have done it better, but it was WAAAY too cheesy. Considering the small budget and inexperience of the production crew, I think it went better than I thought. Overall, I liked the movie, and if you want to go again...I'm game.
