I saw only the first part and it didn't impress me. Then I decided to read a book... I could read only a page. Sooo boooring. I love reading, srsly. I insanely love watching movies. I'm attracted to vampire theme. And after reading Ann Rice's 'Vampire Chronicles' and Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' and watching a lot of movies about vampires I can't force myself to believe that 'Twilight' is a great vampire story.
I prefer to read the novels than the movies.
Although there are some special efficacy in the movies and seems to be attracted, I just like to read book and imagine the story in my mind 🙂
I -as a novelmad- think Twilight is good as a film but not as a novel. I actually hate fantastic novels and nowadays the novelists are mixing it with the psychological genre of novel.
They want their novel to be suitted in reality but if the characters and stories are supernatural, you can't wish those novels to be suit with human psychological reality.
An interesting question, however. 😉 This movie can see, but Twilight isn't a FANTASTIC movie. This is not a masterpiece.
You can watch Twilight to relax (to have a laugh 😉). No more.
No I prefer The Host from Stephennie Meyer. I read the Twilight's books only because I embodied Rénata and Sulpicia Volturi on a forum RPG. Then if there had been no clan Volturi I would not have read the books. 😛
I think I only read the first book or part of it *shrugs* I much rather prefer reading about the brothers in The Black Dagger Brotherhood Series by JR Ward, but before you look that up be forwarned it is a paranormal ROMANCE heheh!
When I was little, I was an absolute fan. Then, I realized that the story wasn't deep at all (that's my opinion, I respect the others). So now, I definitely DON'T like Twilight.
Twilight is wonderful. Not one of the best movies ever, story wise, but if you just watch it and see all the effects and details it's great. And for someone who has read the book (as me) it's very nice to see that they have tried so hard on not forgetting any important details.
