I saw it yesterday night, 10:30pm! As always I must be honest. I wasn’t thrilled about all of the casting in Twilight, but I said I’d keep an open mind when going into the theater. My cousin, Joss, had the same thoughts. This whole week my cousin and I were debating over who would make better characters. Don’t get me wrong Robert Pattinson, Nikki Reed, and Taylor Lautner are all good looking in person, but they didn’t have my faith in them. Side Note: Robert Pattinson is way above good looking. The first ten minutes we could not shut up. It was between muttering to each other about minor changes in scenes and what some should look like to howling at the screen at mouthwatering eye candy. I must say I made sure to let my shriek be heard above all the rest. After awhile we were pulled into the movie enough to keep quiet for bouts of fifteen or so minutes. Immediately as I passed through the exit of the movie theatre I noticed what was so odd about the movie; what set it apart from all other movies. I knew everything that was happening in the characters mind. I had insight on what was supposed to happen, how it was to happen, and where all changes were made. Talking about it with another I compared it to how Lord of the Rings fans must have felt. The movie seemed so short for the two and a half days that I spent reading it. Did I expect to be willingly, gladly, and blissfully trapped within the theatre for days watching as real people reenacted every scene that made up Twilight? That didn’t happen though. Instead, I sat awed watching Robert Pattinson replace Steven Strait or any other figure in mental world as Edward Cullen. Unashamed I yelled like a true fan girl as Robert walked into the movie scenes. After that moment I knew I couldn’t picture another Edward. Not to say that Jacob Black didn’t get his fair share of loving. As soon as my cousin and I saw him we gave in. I was one of the first to give into the urge. I gave a catcall that would have made any stereotypical construction worker proud. All doubts of having an unattractive Jacob were banished to Hell. Taylor Lautner brought out a wicked smile to my face. I nearly forgot about Tyler Crowley played by Gregory Tyree Boyce. My cousin made way more noise than I over that guy, however I threw in my own whistle here and there. The whole movie gets an “A-” from me. There were a couple of changes that made me upset. For what a movie can do though I thoroughly enjoyed it though. Truthfully I pitched a silent bitch over the fact that I had to bring mother and my aunt, but I swore I wouldn’t let that stop me from acting a fool for my movie. I didn’t and I must say it was quite amusing to hear my elders’ mutters of shock as comments were thrown at the screen from all directions around them. |
