it was a amazing movie but i think they changed/left out to much. one example of this would be bella and edwads medow, leaving that scene out in my oppinion screwed up a big part of new moon becase when bella is trying to find the medow thats when she is reunited with laurent who informs her of victoria coming back and that part is also where she sees the wolves and sees how big thet really are that it and that ties into when bella confronts jacob on the fact. other wise i believe it was the best movie ive seen and the books are they bes ive ever read

I haven’t read the book yet, but I did watch the movie because my sister told me I should watch it. I didn’t know what to expect at all, since I hadn’t heard from Twilight before (the books aren’t very famous in Europe), but now that I’ve seen the movie I definitely want to read the original story! Even though I didn’t know what the story was about, I thought the movie wasn’t too complicated if you hadn’t read the book. I also think the cast did really well.

[...] Entertainment would be pushing forward with New Moon, it came as no surprise, considering how well Twilight did at the box office. However, the proposed release date for New Moon, November 2009, raised some eyebrows. Although [...]

I also think the movie didn’t have the strong felling to make you know how the character feels. In the book you almost think your Bella and this is your story. I think the second movie will be better since they have extra money and more heart-breaking scene’s.

I think the movie was ok. they could have had more scenes when she is in her house and at port aglelos they cut the time in half. the movie was worth seeing and it’s good they made it so you know what the characters looked like. I would defenitly see the movie again and again ect. But I’m still ganna see all the other movies and in the end I probaly buy all the dvd’s!

I thought the movie was good, but, it could have been better. I know they can’t fit all 500 pages in a 1-2 hour movie, but they could have made a better attempt to. They forgot the biology scene, where Bella passes out due to the smell of blood. That would have been a great scene. I hope New Moon will be better.

I find it interesting that there hasn’t been any talk about an extended cut. At least, I didn’t hear anything.

Then again it was such a low budget, so they probably shot only what they intended to put in the movie. At 400 some pages, that’s a pretty hefty hack job on the source material.

@Ashley

very much agreed, as much as I enjoyed the first movie, it still need a lot of work. They butchured a lot of the book when they did the movie. The way it was written could proably be way better then any movie but I could think of multiple ways that it could have been improved.

I absolutely love the Twilight Saga books and I am very excited about the New Moon being made into a movie, I hope all 4 make the cut. With that being said, I would like to comment on the movie Twilight. Twilight was a low budget hack job, don’t get me wrong I kinda liked it, but it did not due the book justices at all. It needed alot more details and it should have followed the book alot closer because it lost something with all the changes. I really hope that with all the money being made from the movie that they do alot better job with New Moon. Even if they have to make the new movie longer to get some more of the details in they should because the way Stephenie Meyer tells the story is the way it should be made on film.

Well, like every other girl, I was a, erm, Twilight connoisseur (I’ve been dying to use this word for ages and I could find the appropriate conversation to use it. Might’ve used it wrong, but I can rest easy knowing my word of the day got its use) as well. I mean, I was a ‘NO EAT, SLEEP, RESEARCH & PSYCH PAPER!’ until I got my fill of Edward Cullen. I went to see the movie a few days ago…and I could NOT concentrate over the sighs and ‘OMG!EDWARD!’ shrieks. I swear, I think I was the oldest person in the audience. The movie itself was a pretty ginormous disappointment. Really slow, really boring.

That being said, ;-;! I went home that night, and I wept. I mean, I feel almost as crappy as a kid finds out Santa Claus isn’t real. I think they should stop ruining the very series that made fail college algebra due to my sheer dedication to it. Well, up to the third book anyway. The fourth one…I could live without.

If this gets uber-big, I have to wonder what actors are going to make a snit about their contract and ask for more?

Jess, Oscar, I deleted that guy’s comment. Pretty funny actually – if you’re going to spam a site with a link to a Squidoo lens it might be a good idea to NOT insult people.

No matter how much money you have to do it with it is nearly impossible to do true justice to a 500 page, first person perspective book. You have to go into it with realistic expectations. I was a 12:01am viewer, and I will say that it was almost as good as I hoped it would be. I am really excited for the sequals because I love the story…and I hope they are more attentive to the details. What I really hope is that there is a Twilight extended directors cut DVD that is 4 hours long…because I think that will be the shortest length of a film that will do the book justice.

Give me Joss Whedon’s Buffy and Angel any day. I’ll even take Spike, Faith or Blade over the Twilight bunch. But thats probably because I’m biased in favor of the popular vamps when I was a kid. So I can understand the phenomenon. Every generation have their preferred vampires. Bela Lugosi, Christopher Lee, Frank Langella (very underrated btw) and L’estat! Let the tweenies have their movie. Who knows? Maybe the next Anne Rice was in the audience..

I’m so glad New Moon has the go ahead, I’d love to see all the books translate to the big screen, I’m so looking forward to actually seeing Twilight next month. And if as sugested, it dose scream of ‘low budget’ then I’m sure with the box office revenue Twilight has afforded Summet, New Moon will shine much brighter.
