I do realize this is a book blog but the movie is based off a book so that's okay right? Stephenie Meyer's books has come to life and I have to say I liked it. It's not as good as the book but they usually never are. If you think of this movie as a separate entity you may really enjoy it. This movie generated a lot of buzz before it even came out and it's creating a lot of buzz now that most of the world has seen it. Some have seen it several times. There are mixed reviews. Some love it, some were disappointed. I myself thought they stayed pretty close to the book. It's a 500 page books so they couldn't keep everything and I thought that the stuff they added to the movie was appropriate. The fight scene at the end I thought was really cool. Better than the book. I did think the movie started out a bit slow. Because it was slow you would think they had ample time to build the romance properly but I felt the romance was rushed. The book had it better played out. I was very disappointed by the lack of sparkle. It seemed to be on the subtle side and I really wanted to see him sparkle in the open meadow not within the trees. Other than that Jasper was a little creepy but I did think all the actors did a really good job portraying these much loved characters. I had my doubts but they won me over. I'm very excited that they will be doing New Moon. It was announced by Summit films that they were given the green light but I'm not sure when they will start filming. If were lucky it will come out some time next year but who knows.

I thought the movie captured the "feel" of the book pretty well - romance, humor, danger. The romance isn't really that well-developed in the book, when I think about it. I also thought the sparkle was weird and Jasper looked too much like a blond Edward Scissorhands! And the first kiss should have been in the field but, hey, who cares? The chemistry was still HOT and, really, isn't that all that matters?
