Nyera's Review

IF YOUR HAVING A HARD TIME READING THE SMALL PRINT, PRESS CTRL AND + TOGETHER TO ZOOM, THEN CTRL AND - TOGETHER WHEN YOUR DONE.
I'm going to try to organize all my jumbled thoughts now. But if you'd like a more professional review, I found a really intelligent guy on YouTube.

General Good Stuff:
So something I enjoyed about the movie was that the cheesiness was kept to a minimum. The first time you read Twilight it's fine but it gets annoying real fast. Also, in the book Edward is never fun. He's a perfect gentleman but I like how Rob made him less obnoxious. Rob's better at having fun anyways. All the scenes that were supposed to be intense during the first hour of the movie had me bent over double laughing. For example, the first time Edward smells Bella in bio class was hilarious. I don't know if it was supposed to be funny because it's pretty serious in the book but the whole theatre was in tears. Good times. In general, I thought the movie was excellent because it took away the obnoxious and added some humour.

General Meeeh/Bad Stuff:
The fight scene in the end was different than I imagined. I didn't like how Emmett, Jasper and Alice kind of wooshed out of nowhere. The Nomads were portrayed differently than what I thought too. Neither were bad but I just think Catherine is best at making things interesting and funny. Now to the horrendously bad...I only have a complaint about the glitter effect and Jacob's hair. Both sucked for obvious reasons. I also thought the movie as a whole was kind of choppy. I didn't mind but someone who hasn't read the books might find the movie a bit difficult to follow. Also, whoever put together the trailers put too much emphasis on action when it wasn't even that dominant in the movie. Some comedic snippetts in the trailer might have attracted a broader audience but it's not like I know what I'm talking about.

Random Stuff I Loved:

  • The prom scene was really nice. I like how Bella wore leggings and converse underneath her pretty dress haha.
  • Charlie and Billy were so funny together. I loved the first scene when Billy was trying to run Charlie over with his wheels. Best friends for life :) All the scenes with Charlie made me so happy (except the scene when Bella left). He was perfect.
  • Emmett was always on top of a car? Kellan did such a good job! He looked intimidating at first but turned out to be a really funny guy, just like Emmett.
  • Rosalie and Alice were awesome too.
  • Jasper! He always looked SO uncomfortable around Bella and it was so funny! And he's way hotter than I ever gave him credit for before. Caroline says its because they hotter in moving pictures, she's totally right.
  • The golden onion was random but I really wish I had one.
  • Esme was beautiful! I really hope the same actress will sign on for the rest.
  • MIKE NEWTON! and the rest of Bella's friends never interested me in the books. Mike Newton was just the annoying one but Mike Welch is so funny! And he's just as beautiful as the vampires. He had nicer eyeballs than Edward's. Tyler and Eric were really great too.
  • The dinner scene at the Bloated Toad was nice...(cat *snort*).
  • I liked the random tree climbing even though it wasn't part of the book,
  • Sam and Embry looked pretty cool. I'm really excited to see New Moon and the rest of the pack.
  • Carlisle seemed pastier than the rest of the vampires but was really good too.
  • Super Massive Black Hole made me start to cry with laughter. The baseball scene was so funny.
  • Speaking of hysterical laughing, Edward in sunglasses scene made us giggle. Because it was really attractive but the background music made it funny.
  • The end credits were cool. Especially when jasper's face filled up the million inch screen.

I'm sure I'll think of more things to add to the list later. Now for the funny story:

We got to the theatre just before 10 to catch the 10:35 show. We were 40 minutes early, but there were already at least 100 people lined up to get good seats. We (well Caroline) were trying to inch our way up the front of the line but this one girl went nuts. It was really entertaining. She was about to slash Caroline's face with her acryllic nails. So when they started letting people in, me and Johanna (caroline's sister) ran and shoved until we got seats that wouldn't hurt our necks. And that silly girl with bronzer caked onto her face ended up with seats inferior to ours. Haha. Anyways, we saw a Twilight Mom there with her two daughters and even a few guys were dragged by their girlfriends to see the movie. We had lots of sqeelers in our theatre...whenever something hard core happened, girls would scream and clap. I screamed for jacob and jasper haha. Then I squeeled under my breath whenever jasper or mike came on :)

Please tell me your thoughts in the comments. And I'd like to remind you that comments with bad swearing will end up being deleted.

Jasper.... AMAZING!!!!!

I think he was the best part of the whole movie.

And Rob's faces when Bella walked in to Biology. We all started laughing.

I didn't like the glitter thing. i think they may need to hire some new CGI people...

Mike's dance!!! :O
That was hilarious!

I liked how they took out most of the Edward brooding scenes cause there were a lot of those. They kind of left out a lot of important stuff though... Whatever. I liked the movie more than the book, if only because of Jackson Rathbone. :DDDD
