Twilight Series!

[epchick]

So if you haven't watched the movie, and don't want to know ANYTHING about it, then don't read my post! lol














I'm undecided how I feel about the movie. One part of me likes that it didn't drag, and another is just really annoyed about the parts they altered/left out for no reason.

There are the big things like:

In the book, Jacob is the one that tells Bella that Edward is a vampire. In the movie, Bella makes the discovery herself. I really don't understand why they changed the scene.

When Bella & Edward are at the Cullen house, Edward talks about the Volturi. In the movie, there is no mention of the Volturi.

I don't have my book with me, but I could have sworn the book ended w/ Bella's birthday party. In the movie, it ends with Victoria (seriously wtf?)


Then there are the little things like:

At La Push, they weren't surfing, they were at a bonfire.
I don't remember ever reading that Edward calls Jacob a "wolf."
The story of how the other Cullens change is left out. (I think we only read about Carlisle and Esme....maybe Emmett)


I DID like the castings. Jessica and Mike were soooo what I thought of when I read it. (Interesting choice of ethnicities for the other characters)

I still don't like Rob for Edward, or Nikki for Rosalie. I LOOOOOOOOVE Alice. She translates better on film than in pictures, and it is so what I thought of Alice (although I always pictured Alice shorter, more childlike)

Jacob is HOT. And the actor that plays Billie Black is a lot different than what I pictured. I always thought Billie was older (with white hair) and in the movie, he's pretty freakin attractive.
