Worst Vampire I've ever seen and I like the books. The actors lacked any charisma with the exception of Jacob. Way too many uncomfortable staring (like the end of a smallville episode). For that matter it felt like a tv movie. I really wished they would have fleshed out the out the rest of the cullens, they barely had any lines.

I believe they could have extended to movie so that it lined up with the book. Things weren't as she has described. I do believe they need to do better on New Moon. This movie was good nontheless, even though the facts weren't all lined up. I will be looking forward to New Moon. =]

i really loved it the characters were very attractive as told in the books and Jackson rathbone did an excellent job of showing his fear of attacking bella and his avoidance to her Jacob's teeth were VERY white and Nickki Reed did a wonderful job of showing her hate for bella Edward was pitiful as in the books Carlisle was very caring and charasmatic BRAVO!!!!

Some suggestions for Summit and Catherine, if they ever read these blogs. You are definitely in need of a new screen winter/writers. My suggestions would be firstly, the very top of the list, Grant Cogswell, and whoever else writes for “Bones”. They are able to portray chemistry without touching, action, humor, and everything else that is so desperately needed for Twilight and the rest of the books. Gavin Scott could possibly collaborate with him, he wrote for The Mists of Avalon, which was very well put together.
Also, I think Catherine needs a partner to collaborate with on the directing. My suggestion would be Mark Hanlon, and John Pogue. They directed Ghost Ship and did a great job. She can still be the “main” person, but also have another talented perspective that has already had success as well.
These changes should seriously be taken into consideration and thought about honestly, unless keeping it an “all woman” thing is more important than anything else.

. When watching Kristen doing an interview, she wants/feels she can do better roles for herself. This was disappointing when I heard her say that the role she is waiting to get, a book she read, would be the best thing to ever happen to her, after she dropped all the lawyers ect that were negotiating. WHY would she express that when promoting Twilight? She didn’t even read the books, and just acted. Per her words. Why wouldn’t she prepare for the movie, knowing how many books were selling? And she seriously shouldn’t smoke pot while filming. That contributes to lack of personality, and lethargy. The very last scene, I DID see potential in her, but again, in watching her interviews, she just didn’t seem too thrilled about playing Bella, when this character is kick-starting her career in a serious way. Catherine should not cast Nikki in everything she does. Nikki just did not fit the role of Rosalie in anyway. But this is irreleva nt now. I did LOVE Alice, Jasper, Charlie, Carlisle, Esme and Emmett. Wonderful choices there. They all did so well with what small parts they had.

i do like the drawn out chemistry. What REALLY got my attention in the movie and kept me waiting for more was when Edward said, “hell o”, and introduced himself. I loved the different ways Catherine watched him through Bella’s eyes, his wry smiles, smirks, his eyes, that, I DO give, her was great, and I was hoping for more of those scenes. They are better than the make-out scenes people want you to jump to. But, to point out, in case it’s failed anyone’s attention, Edward, despite all of his passion, is a gentleman, and wants to do everything correctly for Bella. He and Bella do NOT have actual SEX, until they are MARRIED. Another big plus for this story believe it or not. The chemistry, and flirting, and interactions between them but not acting on, leave this sweet, intense, frustration, but it’s very wonderful.

I have read Catherine is always looking for music. There is a song by “Conjure One” named “Sleep” that could possibly fit well with a part in the movie at some point.
Other good artists to consider are Zero 7.. Massive Attack.. Portishead.. West Indian Girl.. Stereophonics.. Frou Frou.. Placebo.. Sia.. Sarah Fim m..there are so many others to consider as well. Oh, sorry, one more thing, even if you have t o make 3 movies, that are 2 hours long for only just ONE book, I am 98% positive that you would still make heaps of money, not lose it because you’ve added the details missing and the fans are craving desperately, in order to complete and satisfy themselves with the book v.s. movie fantasy love affair.

With the success of the movie, wouldn’t it only be right to make the corrections to the movie, at least for the DVD, to satisfy the fans. If this is done, the fans would be ecstatic, and you would definitely make the profit to cover the costs, and this will ensure that the sales will be there once you make “New Dawn”, because the fans would be satisfied that you care how they feel about the story line, and not just making a cheap version of the story, destroying what it means to so many, just to make a profit. It’s understandable that the targeted audience was teenagers, and they are satisfied with the mediocrity of the movie, but the older audience is infatuated with this love story as well, and they will be the true ones to spend the money to see it play out on fi lm, and they just were not at all satisfied. Many cuts made that were too important. For instance, The finger pricking scene. That was so important to the movie. It shows the irony and adds a little humor because she faints at the smell/sight of blood, and then wants immortality to be with Edwar d, knowing she will lust after blood forever.

The release of the DVD and the curiosity of fans to see if you’ve listened will be great, and this will tell you a little of what to expect of the release of New Dawn. They may wait at home, instead of in lines to the movie, to see the reviews, as to not have such a huge disappointment again. Especially with Edward not being in New Dawn as much as Jacob will be through out the rest of the story. (Which is confusing since the story was to be about a vampire and human love story with the wolf on the side, but it seems that the wolf and the human get more of the storyline than the vampire/human obsessive love.

everyone keeps stressing over “hope with New Moon is a lot better” comments. Nooooo…”TWILIGHT” is the founding book, the BASIS of the ENTIRE series!! Edward is hardly in New Moon until the ending. And the details left out of Twilight ARE important. Yes, like James telling Bella about Alice’s past, the initial chemistry that fueled this “immortal love” story, showing other characters parts within because fans lo ve them as well. My biggest concern is that, Summit, Catherine, ect, just will REFUSE to make to alterations to TWILIGHT because they don’t want to spend anymore money, and that they will do slightly better with New Dawn, drowning out Edwards importance, making Jacob the focal point, when this is not his story. I love the books, seriously, but that is also my ONLY complaint about the books as well. They concentrated too much on Jacob, then on Edward, when in the end of the series, there is potential for Jacob’s story to go on and continue a totally different path for the series to go in with Nessie and the Vultri, the half breed in South America,

ect. Maybe I, as well as many others, are just expecting too much out of this book to movie adaptation and the people that are making it. I have seen the movie too many times to count, and it has potential, but always when it is over, I am left wanting for the parts that were left out, and every interview I’ve read so far, Catherine and Summit feel the movie is just fine the way it is. I am just left to resign myself to the fact that they have no intention of doing anything about satisfying the fans, and I must walk away for the Twilight series, and MOVIE, and anything else that’s associated with it because this dissatisfaction has taken control, and trying to find someway to reach Summit and Catherine to plead with them is impossible, and they already know what’s going on because many others besides myself have already stated how they feel this subject. will neve r let my hopes get so high again and to be let down so disappointingly. Sounds so freaking crazy, like I have no life, but I do, it’s just that I am sad for what could have been. I feel like I am in morning, and that feels so ridiculous, but it is just so very honestly true.

have finally concluded why I just can not stop thinking about this dang movie. When I went to see it originally, I thought it was ok. Read the reviews of fans, and wanted to find out why they were all out for blood, literally. I read the books, and yes, I could fully empathize with their feelings of anger and remorse, disappointment, and disgust. The story is great because of how pure and full of potential it has to offer. The attraction and flirting, the pull of this unknown force, bringing them together with the details the book offered. The movie could have taken out the chase thru the mill, the waitress at the diner asking if they found the murder, the flying thru trees scenes, ect. to give the extra time to establish the baseline of this story. You could have made the same amount of ticket sales, maybe even more if all of the important stuff was added. The sales slacked off this week because, as you said, word of mouth, fans, were disappointed and they verbalized their dissatisf action, and word got around that it wasn't’t what it was to be.

You could have done the extravagant shooting with the sequel but got the first movie right to start everything with. I truly wish a production company wanting more than $$ signs, would produce these movies,and let the fans tell you what is important to them to see in the movie. Get the feedback. Let them also say what could be left out in order to make this happen. Compromise so to say.If $$ is what Summit is truly after, they will have to show some integrity. It is rare that people around the world unite over anything, let alone books and outrage over how a movie is shot. This story has a special place with many many people everywhere, and the longer you can drag it out with details matching the books, the happier people will be. Twilight may have been close to 2 hours long, but when it was over, it felt like the story was just starting. It could have been 3 1/2 hours, 4 hours, and the audience would have been content to sit and watch enthralled with it being brought to life. Don’t you SEE??? Summit people, you have an extreme gold mining potential here, but you keep throwing dynamite through the entrance of the walkway.

finally, after re-reading my posts, i have to admit i am tired and feel like a total idiot because of how many times i said New Dawn, when I meant New Moon. lol (blushing with intense embarassment). I do know what I meant and hope you do as well. I truly am a fan, just tired and crossed eyed with this obsession of Twilight correction angst.
