Ok, heres the deal...I promised no spoilers, so I will keep my word! BUT...
I am going to give my opinion, so if you dont want to hear it, DONT READ anymore!!! ;)
I'm not giving anything away, just what I think you might want to know before you see it!!
Just remember, you dont have to read!!!
but since you probably still are...
I FREAKING LOVED IT!!!
I went with the Madonna group (+1) and we all thought it was great!!
To be honest, it might of had to do with the fact that I had heard nothing but BAD reviews ALL day :(
"Actors sucked" "Special Effects sucked" "Nothing like the book" (and no, not just from you Cara! lol)
I will agree with one thing...special effects sucked!
I think it helped too that I had looked at the cast before I saw the movie...I knew what to expect! (that was another complaint I heard...unrealistic actors!)
Other than that, the characters grew on me, I loved Bella, got used to Edward (he was a little stiff!), and thought they hit all the big events in the book pretty well!!
I'm a huge Alice fan, so I wanted more of her, but I guess I'll have to wait for the next 3 movies!! haha
Melissa (one of the girls w/ us!) brought us a copy of the soundtrack to the movie, so that was pretty fun too! There a few really good songs!!
So, I cant wait to hear what all my blog girls and CCBC thought of it!!
I think if you just realize NOONE could portray Edward (or any of the characters for that matter!) the was we see him when we read, and that the special effects are pretty lame, you will like it too!
Happy Twilighting!!!
