They would literally SCREAM everytime something happened with Edward or Edward/Bella. Scream and clap. It was beyond annoying. Plus this whole row of girls behind us were hysterically laughing almost the whole time. Then again, some of Edward's facial expressions were so weird and almost laughable. But I think those girls were just drunk and laughing at EVERYTHING and nothing. What things do you guys think they should've put in there that was left out?

I was disappointed in the sparkling scene; if I hadn't read the book I wouldn't know what was different about him when he was in the sunlight. And some of the camera angles in some of the scenes could've been shot a lot better. I admit, I swooned liked a 13-year old when Edward first walked into the cafeteria. I did love the kissing scene, Edward in sunglasses and saving Bella in Port Angeles. There were a lot of scenes that were unintentionally comedic for some reason - Edward's reaction to Bella when she first walked into class, Jessica's description of Jasper, Bella's official meeting with the Cullen family. i thought those scenes were hilarious, too. i also cracked up at the scene when mike was asking her to the prom.

What things do you guys think they should've put in there that were left out? i really wanted the scene where it's the morning after he spent the night for the first time w/ her knowing he was there, and she sat in his lap while he rocked her. i also missed the scene where she was rushing to the bathroom trying to freshen herself up for him when he was spending the night w/ her. by not including stuff like that, you didn't get as much of a sense of how she felt in awe of him and like she was out of his league. i wish he had actually taken her on a rpadtrip to his meadow, rather than just having it be the woods next to their school. it wasn't even mentioned as a special place for him but just somewhere private w/ sunlight, so he could show her he sparkled. i wish she would've talked about him dazzling her and others. i wish he would've actually told her the song he composed on the piano was her lullaby, rather than him just playing it for her. if i hadn't read the books, i wouldn't get the true meaning of that scene. i noticed they changed from having her cooking for charlie every night to them having dinner at the cafe nightly...not that it really made much of a difference. i can't think of what other scenes were missing, but i think that somehow they could've done a better job in developing their relationship.

I loved the baseball scene, it had to be one of my favs, i liked the begining where he looked like he was going to hurl because of bella lol, i loved the sunglasses part, man he is sexy to me. I went to the midnight showing and the girls only screamed when he first came on the screen, so no one really bugged me. A lot of the movie was hilarious to me like edwards comments or charlie was making me laugh "i put another pepper spray in your bag" lol.

And WTF with Alice, Emmett, and Jasper only having like...three lines a piece? I blame that all on the director. Bad choice IMHO. I agree. At first I was like, WTF Rob is horrible! But I slept on it and I definitely think that Catherine Hardwicke is at fault for how Rob handled some of the scenes.

I really wished they included the blood scene from biology class and Edward's "tampering" of Bella's memory (this particular scene is purely for selfish reasons only ). And I really wished they explained/clarified the lullaby part a lot more.

I think it's so perfect for it and I was waiting to hear how they'd use it, and nothin. Kinda made me sad. There's a video for it and everything.. why isn't it in the movie at all?

I totally agree with all of this. I thought the same thing about the meadow and the lullaby especially. And definitely the way she was so in awe of him and so nervous around him... Kristen didn't really seem nervous at all. SO glad I read the books beforehand.

I really think a person should read the books first to get the full details since such little ones were left out. And I thought there were to many close up but it was still good movie.

Decode was the second song in the credits, I was bummed too that it wasn't in the actual movie. I really wish they would have explained that the lullaby was HER lullaby, and that they would have included more of the little hints to Bella that he was a vampire. Like Jacob never called them the "cold ones" and he kinda just ended the story halfway, and the missing blood scene from bio class.

Posts: 27651 (11/21/2008 9:31 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Friend Block Invite Ignore	Overall, I liked it. I liked it for what it was.. a cheesy teen movie that made me feel like I was 13 again. I actually thought most of the problems were with the script. Those moments someone mentioned being unintentionally funny.. I'm pretty sure most of them were meant to be funny. Especially Jessica's line about Jasper. Yet, the book had like no humor in it. So, the tone was much different. The biggest problem was the screenwriter admitted her favorite characters to write were the humans and Jacob. It showed. The B/E relationship was completely underdeveloped. Where was the depth? What did she like about him? In the book these things are pretty clear. But when you have montages of B/E talking as a way to escape them actually getting to know one another on screen you lose a lot. There was no transition scene between the hospital fight and when he came up to her in the cafeteria. It actually made almost no sense. We needed to see him ignore her and push her away after that. Why not cut a scene in the diner, a Jacob scene, or a scene with the human friends to add to the B/E getting to know each other stage. Especially to add the biology blood testing day scene. I feel like if you didn't read the book you would be like WTF about their relationship. Also, way too much time was spent foreshadowing the future. The bad vampires killing a bunch of people around town. Victoria at the end. It changes the tone of the novel..which ended very hopefully not ominously. Most of all, the glare Jacob gave Edward at prom made no sense. None. In the book Jacob was embarrassed to have to give Bella that message.. and seemed to think it was BS. In the movie he is glaring at her boyfriend like he has some rights over her? Huh, from the two times you met? It was something that should have been places way further on in the series. It just seemed like this long haired douche came out of the woods and acted like a creepo. There were things I loved. I thought the Bella/Charlie fight was awesome. I loved their father/daughter dynamic even more than in the book. Kristen did a really good job acting. The last 2/3 of the movie were really fun to watch. The kiss.. that was one of the best, if not the best, first kiss I've seen on screen. Just the way they played and dragged out that anticipation was worth the price of admission. Also, the prom dancing and conversation were beautiful. Spot on and romantic. I definitely want to see the movie again to actually get a better feel for it. To maybe like it more for what it was and stop comparing it to the book. But yeah,

I think it is because I went into the movie with low expectations. I thought they did really well adapting the book into the movie. And I love Rob. Seriously I would screw him in a second. He was so charming! Of course there were some cheesy parts, but overall I thought it was great. I'd go see it again.

I have to say aside from the directing (because that was bad) Rob.. not a good actor. I'm sorry.. I know he's blindly loved by everyone and he had some good moments, but a lot of his scenes were laughable. What I liked most about the movie was how some scenes were filmed. Victoria at the end and how it turned black and white. Nice touch.

To maybe like it more for what it was and stop comparing it to the book. But yeah, i totally agree with pretty much your entire post. edward and bella didn't really seem "together" in the movie as they did in the book. and that bothered me a lot. someone else pointed out that they didn't straight out say their i love yous. if i recall correctly, they said it the first book, and not just once? and i was disappointed that they didn't show much interaction from edward's family. i dragged my sister to see the movie with me who had no clue what it was about and she ended up really liking it. she actually started reading the book when we came home from the movie. i thought the book was much better than the movie. that's how it usually ends up though, people who've read books that turn into movies usually like the book better. although it didn't include every single thing from the book. i enjoyed the movie. after i stopped trying to remember how exactly the book went. may possibly see it again. and look for a copy on the streets. lols.
