Ok, first of all, I didn't know what genre to choose. Fantasy? Horror? But I chose romance. After all, it's a dominant love story.
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG -hyperventilates-
I'm literally experiencing Tachycardia. God! It was so much more than I was expecting. I've been watching novel-based movies lots of times but this is the first time when I am definitely satisfied with how the movie adaptation came about.
So much for a low-budget film. They didn't disappoint the fans who were expecting this movie since day one.
But of course, like any other movie adaptations, Twilight has it's pros and cons. Not that the cons beat the pros! LOL! =]
PROS:
THE CULLENS
Carlisle: He's the palest among the Cullens. Does it have to do with age? Yet, he's the hottest! If a doctor like him would really exist, I think I wouldn't mind having cancer just to see him often! And, he looks like Tom Cruise. What more can you ask for?
Esme: She didn't have much appearances in this film, but I loved the way she greeted Bella on their first meeting. She's the perfect Esme that I was imagining in the book.
Alice: Can't wait for a lot of Alice's in the other movies. She's really got the vibrant aura of a nice sister.
Rosalie: Oh yeah! The bitch has definitely owned Bella in the kitchen!! BWAHAHAHA!!
Jasper: EDWARD SCISSORHANDS, is that you? Ok, Don't get me wrong, he still looks hot. But I wished they got a different Jasper. Although by the middle of the movie, I finally saw the Jasper that I wanted to see. Anticipation helps sometimes. =p
Emmet: He's so huge! Hahahaha!!! And yep, he's funny. He looked so cute when he was cuddling Rosalie after she kinda lost her temper with Bella.
Edward: Save the best for last, they say! For months, the only thing that I wanted to know was, "Did they make a good decision of getting Rob to be Edward?" And the answer is a huge YES! He's perfect! It was unbelievable! He didn't disappoint everyone in portraying the HOTTEST role in the movie-world! Others might not agree with me, but hey, it's me! And watching the movie, I was able to fully understand why it was Rob and not the others. He deserved it. He is exactly the vampire-hottie that I was anticipating to see. He glitters in the sun perfectly, he does the crooked smile like no one else can and yes, he doesn't only dazzle Bella, but everyone in the movie house as well.
THE NOMADS: I like the way the movie introduced James, Laurent and Victoria by making them slaughter poor extras in the movie. That way, those who didn't read the book would be able to understand on why they wanted Bella so much.
THE IMPORTANT ELECTRIC SCENES BETWEEN EDWARD AND BELLA: The book was definitely cut really short to fit the story in a whole 2-hour movie. But then, all the scenes that book fans wanted to see in the movie were there! As in everything! They never missed out one important scene that would make us groan. They merged Bella's discovery and Edward's meadow in one scene yet it hasn't become cheesy. It was awesome! The Edward-Bella argument, the meadow scene, the kissing in the bedroom scene, the lullaby scene, the spider-monkey scene, the Port Angeles scene, the driving Bella to school scene, the hospital scene...They were all perfect! Believe me, I screamed when each scene was shown.
THE BASEBALL GAME: Ok, that was definitely not the way I imagined it. It was a million times better! OMG, while they were playing, I was yelling, "Fuck, that wasn't how I imagined it! OMG! That was awesome!" Jeez, it sounds so over-acting, but believe me, I've got Obssessive Cullen Disorder! =p All the Cullens were superb during the baseball game. If I were there, I would have recorded it probably. Haha! =]
BELLA's PEPPERSPRAY: Charlie was sorta serious in the book, but he was funny in movie. LOL! Funny in a good way, of course. The pepperspray thing really cracked me up. And it made Bella look really stupid when she used it on James. Pathetic move, but then, that only showed that Bella listens to her dad.
EDWARD FAKING HIS SLEEP: And he really looked like he was faking his sleep! I mean, when someone acts like he's asleep, he would definitely look like he was really sleeping. But Edward showed the viewers that he was indeed faking. It worked. He was perfect! =]
THE GRADUATION CAPS: Private joke. No need to elaborate. =p
BELLA's ALMOST TRANSFORMATION: Kristen did great there. It definitely looked like she was in pain. And when Edward sucked her blood, you would definitely think that he wouldn't be able to stop.
VICTORIA IN PROM: Yes, to tell people, "Hey, I'm still coming back to kill the bitch and avenge my mate!"
GLITTERING EDWARD: LOL! Can I pawn him? I was actually thinking he would glitter like really brightly. It was good though. And when he faced Bella while part of him shimmers in the sun, he was at his hottest!
THE COOKING SHOW: That was really funny! WTF, Bella! You definitely made these Vampires learn how to cook!
BELLA's CLUMSINESS: The movie has really shown how clumsy Bella was, even for only a little while. She slipped on the ice, she almost died on an accident, she tripped while walking with Edward in the greenhouse, and the most subtle of all, she was tripping while following Edward through the trees. That really rocked! =p
CONS (I hope you would still read this. I've only got a few. =])
THE VISUAL EFFECTS: It's understandable. Twilight is a low-budget film, but I still couldn't help but comment badly on the GFX that they use. I would often say, "My god, what's wrong with the effects?" It wasn't good. I hope it would improve in New Moon.
THEY MOCKED BELLA's TRUCK: Er, Bella's truck was supposed to look better than the others' vehicles in Forks High School. Forks, Washington is a little behind compared to Phoenix, Arizona.
JESSICA LOOKED SO PLASTIC: She wasn't. At least in Twilight.
SPIDER-MONKEY: Vampires are only capable of jumping at huge lengths and running so fast. NOT CLIMB TREES! What were they thinking? Edward is a vampire, not some sort of a Marvel superhero, for Christ's sake! And if I were Bella and I was brought on a tree top, this would be my dialogue, "Fuck, Edward! Put me down right now!" I'm not afraid of heights, but that would kill me. I just hope they just stuck in the running fast concept. =]
So, that's it. In general, I still love the movie. I have been super in love with the trailer and I wasn't disappointed with the movie. It was unbelievable, and I want to watch it for the second time! Haha!
And yep, I've really come to hate Bella Swan so much. It has to do with jealousy, of course! =p
