Twilight finally done right!

Bravo, Bill Condon!

Thank goodness a director finally got a Twilight film right! I have been a fan of the Twilight series ever since I started reading the first book. Then and there, I got sucked in. No pun intended. I know that makes me a nerd, but I don't care. The books are truly wonderful, and they are (were?!) different literature that no other author had provided. Many critics have compared them to the Harry Potter series....what idiots! There is no comparison to the Harry Potter series. All that aside, the books really are a treat, and I recommend them to anyone, except men. My favorite is book number four, Breaking Dawn, which was just released in theaters today. All the books are great in their own way, which, in my opinion, characterizes a great book series.

Like today for Breaking Dawn, I have seen all of the other Twilight films on their opening weekends. Honestly, they have been horrible. The acting was so awkward at times that there was nothing else to do except squirm in your seat and look away from the screen. Today was vastly different. After four films, the director, Bill Condon, actually portrayed the movie with the essence of the book. There were a few changes-- as there always are, yet it was fantastic. It effortlessly encompassed everything it should have. I don't want to ruin it for any Twi-hards that haven't seen it, but I feel that anyone could enjoy it, even if they aren't a fan of the books.

OH! Plus, the previews are fantastic. I just knew it was going to be a good movie when the Titanic 3D preview danced across the screen with Celine Dion's famous lyrics. My heart will go on and on for Titanic; it never gets old. I cannot wait to see it in April again on the big screen...even if I will look like a loser in my 3D glasses. Also, I saw the trailer for The Hunger Games! I just bought The Hunger Games trilogy to read over my Thanksgiving Break. Everyone who has read them seems to be obsessed, and the movie trailer interested me just that much more. I can't wait to read it, and I can't wait to see it! YAY!
