Comments:

I like to book very much. It’s the kind of romance book that you won’t like to put off before it finishes ^_^. Anyway, the film was not that fascinating. Don’t get me wrong, I love drama, and mostly I watch drama, but when I saw this film, I just feel very bored. They adapted mostly from the book, but somehow it felt plain and boring. The relationship between Henry and Claire was not as strong as the book.. Oh well, anyway, it is hard to make a film from a bestseller book, mostly I’ll be disappointed, so I’ll just deal with that.

Fun Facts:

• Adrien Brody was the first choice of the writer to play Henry (they should use him)
  
• Shipped to theaters under the name "Meadow"

Comments:

I lost track of time to wait the movie, it's soooo long! Sigh. Though i know the story (and still very much remember tough i stop read the novel months ago T_T), i still want to see the film ^_^. But i can say i'm not to satisfied. One: the make up. Oh God, my gorgeous Rob looks extremely weird. Most of the scene, the white features are just too much. Come on guys, he's originally white and pale, why is it hard to make his features look a bit natural? Aro is just the same. Dakota looks great, they should use her make up artist, hmpppffh!
Second, it's kind of different than the book, well maybe they have reasons, but i just can't stand to see what they did to Edward! They made his character into weak and helpless. Arrrggh!
If you read the book, the sadness is devastating but you don't see it in the movie. Bella should be extra sad to be left behind. And the last scene, where a werewolf and a vampire stand face to face with Bella in between, Edward should be looked more..fierce. Afterall, a vampire hates werewolf right?

Comments:

The first time i knew that the movie was a disaster movie, i rushly plot my time to watch in a theatre. I love disaster movies ^_^ and i saw almost all Rolland Emerich's film and fans of some like Independence day and The day after tomorrow. And from what i saw, it was great! I like the thrill, the action, the effects, they're just ok. But if i need more emotional scenes, i won't ask Cusack to play. I don't know if Jackson should be that plain, but he supposed to be more emotional, more happiness when you succed and more sad features when you lose.
It's nice and to see it in a wide screen is highly recommended ^_^
