I saw it and loved it. I've not read the book. I went with a large group of people and only 2 of us had not read the book. My niece said she thought the movie seemed choppy compared with the book. For me, it flowed really well. I was actually sad when it was over because I was really transported into the story.

Smokey, that's the word I was looking for to describe the beginning of the movie storyline...your niece got it right, it was "choppy" compared to the book. But like you, I totally got into the flow of the storyline and enjoyed the movie. If you read LadyT's link, there will be another movie coming... yay!!

Hi Egbok! Yes, I read her link and have been reading all sorts of things about it. I am glad there will be another movie. I'm actually going to read the books now. ETA: I actually am going to see this again. Both daughters want to see it, and I will gladly go along.

LOL Mocha! It definitely is a chick flick. But, my nephew was with us yesterday and he is in the military and 24 years old, and he actually really liked it. His girlfriend didn't like it, but she's read the book series. She didn't think it came close to the book. Yeah, Edward is hot. I guess that's why I loved it.

I was at my sister's tonight and wanted to borrow hers, but her daughter loaned them out to someone else. I may just buy them. They were telling me how the books go into a whole lot more detail about the Cullen family.

Thank goodness for Mojo's review! I also thought this was an action drama type movie. I can wait for dvd to see a chick flick.

My sister went with my niece yesterday and said it was a lot like the book. It's so funny how everyone sees the same thing differently. I'm laughing at Mocha going to a chick flick but at least she saw a cute vamp.

Another article about Twilight--this one mentions that many young girls have come up to Hardwicke, inspired to become directors as well. The guys on "At the Movies" panned Twilight; don't think they are in it's "target audience." Chick flick indeed! link

I took my niece(17) to see it on Saturday. The theatre was filled with young teens. There weren't too many of who had not read the books but neither my niece or I had. You could tell that most had read the books by all the giggling and stuff. I really liked it but it was a chick flick. If I was a young teenage girl I would be major crushing on the Vamp who was ripped apart and the teenage Indian boy, both were very hot! The only thing I thought was silly, was 80 yr old vampires going to high school, lol.

The NY Times review is hilarious. If I knew how to make a link and put it here I would. But I googled it.
