Twilight Movie Review

So today my cousin and I took our girls to see the movie. A second time for Mini-Me and myself.

Let me just say this---I like Jasper. He looks like he is in pain. He is supposed to be in pain. Edward tells us this in Midnight Sun about how much pain he is in. It's killing him to be around Bella AND to have to try and manage her emotions and all the emotions surrounding her arrival and invasion of his family. He does look like Edward uh, Scissor-hands, that is.

Rosalie- Beautiful and just as I pictured her. Self-centered and arrogant just as Stephanie wrote her. I love her sass and her poutyness.

Alice- Yep! That's her and she is perfect and sassy. I would like to have had a little more development behind the relationship between her and Bella, but limited time, so you know. Go read the books and the Midnight Sun. I adore Alice. I want to be her friend.

Esme- Does not order her children around. "Clean up this mess." I'm okay with. The "now" added to the end so not Esme. She is much more gentle than that and NOW wouldn't need to be added. Oooooooohhhhhhh we were talking about the actress. Well, I haven't seen her anything else, so I am okay with her.

Carlisle- Uhm not quite as I pictured him. But he has grown on me.

James- Villian? Why does the bad guy always have to look so delicious. His eyes almost made me forget that I love Edward. Almost.

Victoria- Fab.U.Lous!! Love the end where she is seen bitterly watching Bella and Edward. So true to what she was likely doing. Plotting and planning her revenge for the fate of her late lover. Sigh.

Emmett- where was I? Oh yeah. Emmet. Looks divine and tough and . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . sorry. I'd better move on.

Edward- Not quite as fab as in my head, but does a good job and has great potential as the movies progress. I guess Harry Potter was a little easier script to do, but he can do it the way Edward needs to be played in my brain. I know he can.

Bella- I am fine with her. Just pretty much like Bella. Trying to get certain undesirable photos out said actress of my head is difficult. I'd think I could handle her posing nude before killing her brain cells. Is that why they didn't have her doing all the cooking in the show?

I do like the chemistry at the end of the movie between them. I did notice this time that there is a building of relationship that I didn't notice the first time. They are good together.

Charlie- I was amazed to see how well he was doing. Eating in a diner and being lonely sure didn't have much affect on his weight. Where is is pounch? I also thought he'd be shorter, but taller is okay, too.

Billy- Didn't really think much about him. Was annoyed with his meddling in the book and well, I just haven't given much thought to what he should look like or really act like. I was so okay with Bella being oppositional to him, cause, butt out daddy-o of another kid.

Jacob- Will need a new body and face come New Moon. I have never seen Shark boy, but according to Tori this is not Jacob! She should know. But seriously, he wasn't what I pictured either however he is okay for a young Jacob- in my mind. Not quite hot enough and well, maybe when he is a wolf I can take him more seriously. He didn't really have a big part in Twilight so he did okay for the part- this time. Will definitely need a new actor to cover New Moon and on. Sorry Sharkboy. Jacob the wolf just isn't in you. However, his drastic change will be true to the story line and will hopefully leave us all breathless.

Yes the movie is more tolerable the second time around. I don't love it. I do like it. A lot. I would buy it. I would watch it again and again.

This is not necessarily a reflection on the movie. It's my personal taste. I just like books better. Except for Harry Potter. I just like the movies. Not reading the books. Twilight is the only fantasy I do.

Moral of my story- - don't go see Twilight for the first time on very little sleep and after being awake for nearly 24 hours.
