[...] Trent was right. The music in this movie is TERRIBLE. In Trent’s review of the movie, he said that the music in it was absolutely horrible, and the only song he [...]

PPS I just read some of the comments from above… if anything, this series is a good, fun way of easing the pain of the loss of Buffy and Angel. It shows a younger, more cheesy version of a love like Buffy and Angel’s, which I feel is one of the greatest ever on t.v. Both are so unconditional and it’s nice to see that again, unlike in True Blood where no one really knows who they love. Sigh… I need to get myself a vampire boyfriend like Edward or Angel!

Oh, and that GOD AWFUL guitar rift had me begging out loud for it to end. I felt like cheesy 80s movie ninjas were going to pop out any minute to start fighting.

Finally saw this tonight. I must say, I was disappointed overall. I agree with you that they included most of the important parts well, but I did not feel any chemistry between Bella and Edward at all. Other than that the movie was decent, however, the love is the central aspect of the storyline and it just wasn’t believable, nor was it played out very well. In the book it seems to have developed whereas in the movie they are suddenly in love. I suppose it’s hard to convey 1st person thoughts into action though. I’m not a huge fan of Kristen Stewart. She needs to spit our her sentences without the awkward, shy pauses and jerky movements.

I thought the movie was cheesy, and pretty funny. I enjoyed the experience, but I can’t say the movie was really good. I thought Kristin and Rob’s portrayals of their characters were fine, their characters are just annoying. And I loved me some Cam Gigandet!

I think it very silly to say that just because I love Buffy that I can’t like any other vampire-themed anything. I also like watching ‘True Blood’ on Showtime — which is nothing like BtVS. For the record, I never said that I loved the Twilight saga … I was entertained by it and I can totally understand the appeal that it holds for many. Just because some folks don’t understand the “why” doesn’t mean it’s bad. A lot of folks do not understand some people’s enjoyment of goss and pop culture … doesn’t make it bad at all :)

I haven’t seen it. And won’t…I hated the book. I know I’m in the minority and will probably be crucified for saying so. But, just wanted to chime in to say that I’m surprised you liked this series, Trent, given your love for Buffy. Buffy did all of this so much better and with so much more wit. And, not to politicize…well, maybe a little…but how much of the moolah that Ms. Meyer has made off of this series do you think she tithed to the Mormon church who just passed Prop. 8? I guess “romance” is OK as long as it’s straight and chaste. Sorry to be a hater…i know people love the books as is their right…I just don’t understand why!

LOL, oh Trent! Your review has been the funniest I’ve read yet. I have to say I agree 100% with what you said.

If one take the books for what they are, then you pretty much have to like the movie. It is what it is. That is Twilight. It was a really good adaptation, IMO. =/

(You got me at the “go-go boy dancer” reference, LOL)
