sweatdrop yeah..... 3nodding

OMG! I'm so glad someone else said it before I did. Alot of things freaked me out.....that were just wrong in the movie:

1. His siblings got more lines in the book then the movie.
2. Bella and Alice never get to really talk yet at the end of the movie she says ,"Alice said she saw me coming into your family," I find that weird when they never really talked.
3. The part at then end when you saw Victoria, Edward or Alice should have seen it coming.
4. When the room was tense at the house...it was basically Esme trying to get everyone to calm down and not Jasper...(my opinion...might not be yours) sweatdrop
5. Edward's room didn't have a bed....yet in the movie it did.........
6. Bella noticed him not eating....and never asked...just assumed.......
7. Carlisle should have...looked....I dunno younger....... sweatdrop
8. They made Roslie...more of a b***h.....>.>U
9.Shinny Edward messed up my day.
10. At the scene where Bella got hit by that car and Edward saved her..she never really hit her head....but when she went to the hospital....they kept saying she has a concussion.....
11.....You say the guy that played Edward....on his Jaw....you could see he just shaved.....like half the movie...
12. Most of the movie....when his eyes were suppose to be gold...you never really saw them...
13. When Bella left the hotel and looked at Edward and Alice at the counter....shouldn't either of them had smelled her or noticed that she was right there leaving...?

Okay....sorry for the rant..... heart

Things About The Movie That I Did/Didn't Like:

1) The dinner scene was weird when the guy came up to Bella. It was extremely creepy.

2) Kristen Stewart's voice was SO monotone. It ruined it for me.

3) I liked Jessica and her attitude, but I thought Lauren had the nasally voice. Not her.

4) FHS is really big in the movie, and in the book there is only supposed to be like, 400 kids in attendance.

5) When was there a field trip?

6) Rosalie wasn't bitchy enough. I think of her bitchier.

7) The music when Edward sparkled was stupid.

8] The meadow scene should of been longer.

9) The baseball scene was awesome. My favorite part.

10) Victoria at the prom was a nice twist. I liked it.

most of your points were bugging me and I just wanted to say some stuff

for point 2
Alice said it right before she ripped James's head off and bella must have heard because she was two feet away and she wasnt in enough pain yet for her ears to be pounding
5 it was a day bed which is a couch its like that thing in titanic that rose poses on only not ornate
and the rest bugged me too lolz.

I really can't say which one I liked better because they all had their strong points. I really liked the added stuff for the movie but the book seemed kinda repetative of 'omg edward is so hot I am so happy we are together and like is my hair alright' it really bugged me because it made edward seem so fake. in my opinion

No way on Earth will the movie ever be better than the book to me. The book is more descriptive and it gives freedom to imagine how things are. (ie... people, places, etc)

That is an interesting way to think about it. I like it.
Keeping the two separate.

I liked both, I think in some ways the book was better and in some ways the movie was better. One thing I liked about the movie was that it didn't seem to take so long to get to anything exciting, and in the book it took her half the book just to find out he was a vampire. But the books are always more descriptive. So I'm not really sure which I liked best. There were some funny scenes they added to the movie that weren't in the book, too, like the "cat" scene. xd
