I know some of you were thinking I was crazy for not seeing it earlier, but I wasn't the biggest fan of the books(Bella's character was the main hinderance) and with all the negative reviews I heard it just didn't make it to my must do list. I knew I'd see it sometime eventually. Well I watched it with my sister in law on Saturday and I have to say I liked it. It's not my favorite movie but I think I'd like to see it again soon. I actually thought right after it ended that I liked it better than the book because I couldn't hear Bella's every thought. She's much more enjoyable that way! And I think because I had very low expectations I was able to overlook the few cheesy parts. Also I thought Robert did an excellent job with Edward. He really was just as I imagined him to be. Anyway, I wanted to see the second movie right away after it ended, but then I remembered that that book is terrible except for the end (just my opinion!). Hopefully they will do a good job with it.

I'm glad you liked the movie. I didn't like how Edward was acted, but hey, that just goes to show how everyone has a different picture in their head when they read a book. Also, I heard that the next movie is going to be directed by someone else. (Can anyone else back me up on that?) So it'll be interesting to see how different or alike it is.
Yeah; I thought that the movie wasn't that bad, either. With Redbox it made for a free, fun after-the-kid-went-to-bed date for Andrew and I! :) I wonder if more "Twilight" movies will be made...
Yeah, they're filming the second one right now in Vancouver, Canada. And there IS a different director. Just not sure who though.
Yeah, I liked the movie better than the book, but I don't think the movie stands alone, so without the book I think the movie would have been lost on me. I just felt like Bella was much more likeable in the movie and didn't come off as weak as she does in the book and not quite so damsel in distress, which doesn't appeal to me. I thought she and Edward were cast really well. Alice should be 1/2 the size she is in the movie, and I hated Jacob cast that way. He's supposed to be so much taller and bigger! Anyway, I saw it twice in the theater and bought the song that they dance to and love it.
