Re: Worried about the Twilight movie - Take 2

I'm not sure how I feel about the movie. I loved some of the witty lines and I loved Edward, but I walked out of the theater feeling very disappointed and dissatisfied. Everything seemed rushed. I know you can't fit a big book into a 2 hr film, but it just didn't flow very well. It was very choppy and the scenes jumped all around.
I was really ticked that they butchered the meadow scene, being that it's one of my favorite parts in the book. I felt like they could have left out some of the flying through the trees, etc and put more time into the development of Edward and Bella's relationship. I was also irritated that they cut the Port Angeles scene so short. Where the hell was one of my favorite lines? "Do I dazzle you?" "Yes. Frequently." I can't believe they left it out.
There wasn't a whole lot I liked about the movie but there were parts that were very nice. I loved the kissing scene, the baseball scene and the ballet studio stuff. But, overall, I think the last kiss at prom was the best part of the movie. The look on Edward's face was what I was waiting for during the whole movie.....it was the look of someone deeply in love. I wished that he had that look throughout the rest of the movie.
I'll stop complaining now. I just can't help it because I love the book so much and I really wanted to see it "come to life" on the big screen.
Oh, and btw.........where was the scene that is in the first pic of my banner? Did I miss it, cause I sure don't remember seeing it.
