Twilight Movie

Everyone seems to be raving about the new movie coming out, Twilight. For most of my friends, though, the only reason why they are going to go see it is because they want to go criticize it.
I personally get very attached to books that I read, and love. Since reading the Twilight Saga, I have come to love everyone of the characters and love the whole plot of the story. By becoming so attached to them I have come to realize that the movie is just going to disappoint me. There are so many things in recent movies, that I have seen, that aren't even in the books that I've read. For instance, there is no part in the book where Edward and Bella are in the woods and say "Say it." Then Bella replies with, "Vampire." No way! She doesn't say that out loud! She figures it when Jacob tells her the story about 'The Cold Ones'. I've read Twilight, lets say about seven times, and I haven't gotten bored of it. But just seeing the trailers for the movie, I can't even watch that!
They make everything seem so normal, when it isn't! This is supposed to be an enchanting and captivating story of Bella and Edward. I just feel that once they made it a reality, by making the book a movie, they ruined the magic. Especially for me. I've set my mind on it, I'm not going to see it, not even going to watch it to criticize it. That would just break my heart.

Wow, I haven't seen the trailers yet, but I am in total agreement. It takes a lot for me to like a movie over the book.

Still plugging away through Brisengar. Can't wait to finish it, someday, hopefully soon, so I can read the second book in the Twilight series. I loved the characters too.

You know they always have to dumb-down movies so the non-readers, who can't use their own imaginations, will like them. Was that a little too opinionated? Sorry! :)
