Twilight (the movie!)

Last night, Twilight premiered.

Since I work at the theater, some of my co-workers were able to tell me some interesting things about this premiere night.

Some die hard fans were waiting at the theater so early that one of the managers had to turn them away. The earliest that they let customers in was 6 pm. That's six hours before the movie starts. And I used to think I was pretty emphatic about this series, but apparently there are some who are crazy. hehe.

Any way, I arrive about an hour before the movie started and waited at the end of a line with every single other person who bought tickets. I thought that an hour before showtime was a good time... I was wrong. For a auditorium that seats approximately 480 people, about 400 of those people were waiting in line. And I was at the end.

Now on my review:

I really underestimated how awesomely amazing this movie would be.

Bella, I thought, could have been a little clumsier. Other than that, her character was perfect. She was protective of her mom and dad. And she was good at trying not to be in the spotlight. Her interactions with Edward were superb.

Edward was amazing. It was funny when he first was showed in the movie, every girl in the auditorium screamed. He looked perfectly dangerous and perfectly handsome.

The Cullens were perfect. Rosalie's character was most on point with what Stephanie Meyer was thinking. I can totally think of her going through the rest of the series. Carlisle, Emmit, Alice, and Esme was very awesome cast. Jasper's character seemed a little underdeveloped to me.

Bella's school mates: Jessica and Angela were amazing, just like the book. The guys, Eric and Mike, were in character.

Jacob was the movie star most in character. He looked the part. I could even see how he eventually change... I don't want to be more specific and spoil it though. ;)

Chief Swan was supprisingly more talkative and better than in the movie.
Renee was the same as Charlie but funnier.

James, Victoria, and Laurent were exactly how I imagined them. Especially James. And Victoria. And I liked how the movie ended with promise of the more.

Overall, the movie closely followed the plot. When it didn't follow the book, the script was recreated in such a way that it was still understandable. Stephanie Meyer put herself in the movie, which is something I would totally do if any of my books make it to the big screen.

I really really like this move. Even if you never read the books, I highly suggest that you see this movie.
