Twilight Lexicon Discussion Forums

Loved the Movie, very re watchable aswell. Obviously the book is better but I liked the cast in the film, was done very well and were all as I imagined.

Did you find you liked characters more after watching the film? For example, in the book, Charlie is a bit boring, doesn't do a lot etc, in the film he is very funny etc ..

Anyone else?

haven't seen it..
heard it was an atrocious depiction of the story...
will see it and decide for myself at earliest convenience...

Hey guys, good to see there are more guys on the lex then when i was last here (before things got hacked) I heard that we got our own little place and decided it would be an apropiate time to return.

To answer all four questions i would say

Fav Female :
I like Bella and Alice the most, for some reason i feel i would be very atracted to a girl like Bella, and she seems to bring out the Edward out of me. (any of you guys ever felt like that while reading the books?)
Alice because she seems to try and help Jasper overcome his pain and suffering, that to me shows that she loves him very much.

Edward vs Jacob:
I defenetly agree with lightbulb, I was more conected with Edward because of the similarities we share, other books and movies that i watch seem to have characters that i would be friends with, but usualy i could never relate to any of them. I think that is one of the reasons why i enjoy this series so much, because i see Edward making choices i would make (whether good or bad choices). However, i would enjoy having Jacob as a friend, without the him being all over my nessie though.

Introduced to the books:
I started reading the series when Eclipse just came out, my brother recomended it to me, and it seemed odd as he is not the reading type of person. so after he finished all three of them in a week i took my turn and fell in love with the series, and stephenie's writting style.

Lastly i did watched the movie and I though it was very good overall, i understand that they only had two hours to present a whole book, so some scenes where cut or rushed, but it was well done. I think i would have not enjoyed it as much if i hadn't read the books first though.

Lol there are A LOT more of them.....

I'm quite ashamed... I haven't seen the movie yet. Things have been hectic...

You could always just watch it online, not quite the same, but u still get mostly everything.

That's what I would do, but my computer doesn't have a sound card, so I imagine it would lose some of the magic...
lol

Lol true true

Wow.....I really need to not go away for so long. Ok. I answered the first so....

2. I don't pick between them, I don't care to, I like them both, so that's where I stand.....In Switzerland.

3. I got into the series because my cousin kept pushing the books on me. Then I heard an adult on my Mission Trip talking about the books, so I was like....I gotta get this book. And here I am.

4. I saw the Midnight showing of the movie, and I hated it. I was hyper critical, and I killed the movie for myself. Then when I took my brother to watch it, I loved it. I was able to sit back, enjoy it, and watch it for what it was, a movie.
