I FINALLY Saw ‘Twilight’…

Twilight- The Movie  I’m no longer a ‘Twilight’ virgin.  On Friday night, my husband and I watched Twilight.  I haven’t read the book.

My take on this phenomenon?  It was good.  I have to admit, it’s a perfect movie to get sucked into (no pun intended)…  

Stephanie Meyer is a genius in terms of a commercial plot (and I don’t mean that negatively)…

Teen angst, first love, plus vampires thrown in… and they are good vampires- are you kidding me?

This movie is 16 CANDLES and Jake Ryan is a cool vampire.

The whole movie is done well.  Even my husband said,

“That could have been cheese-tastic, and it wasn’t.”  Trust me, this is a ringing endorsement.

The only thing that caused me to wince was Bella’s quick turn from being a normal teenage girl to wanting to give up her very life- to become a vampire… for Edward.  I know, I haven’t read the book; I did read online that in the book their relationship takes months to develop…

And the only other thing is- I kept thinking in the back of my mind,

‘How can this end well?’  BUT, 15-year-old girls don’t think about that, so the franchise is safe :)

I think I have to get the book now.

This movie was definitely worth watching!
