I usally hate fads with a stubborn passion. I still refuse to watch or read Harry potter, I also refuse to watch Titanic and King Kong. So it must be the girlfriend factor that got me to watch Twilight as its her favorite book/series of all time (and she read them years before they got really popular).
I have a thing for vampire movies judging by my dvd collection of Underworld, Blade Interview with a Vampire and Angel (tv series). So it wasn’t too hard for me to get into this movie even if its a teeny romance underneath all the supernatural stuff.
The movie would of probably been a lot weirder/crap if Melody hadn’t informed me of what was happening during some scenes. Such as when Edward meets Bella for the first time and looks like he hates her when he’s just really stopping himself from attacking her. It’s explained later but hearing it from Mel while the scene was going on made it better.
I haven’t read the book but I thought they should of made the movie longer to fit in some of the other characters more like Edwards family who you hardly learn anything about. Other than that their wasn’t a whole lot I didn’t like about the movie, I generally enjoyed it mostly because I was expecting to hate it.
I’m going to read the books now because I’m interested in it from the movie and because their Mel’s favorite. The lore seems pretty cool as well.
