But after all the hype about how beautiful Edward and Rosalie were--NOT! It wasn't Oscar material, but it was better than lots of other movies I've seen. I do feel that if someone hadn't read the book, they might find the movie extra-cheesy. It followed the book well, but a lot was left out or the movie would have been 8 hours long! Of the books, Breaking Dawn was my favorite.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-18355426558738079142008-12-08T20:16:00.000-08:002008-12-08T20:16:00.000-08:00Read it.

Bella is no heroine and Edward is only a pretty boy. Perfectly nailed. I miss Buffy. And Angel, now there's a vampire...(sigh).<BR/><BR/>I might see the movie once it's at the Dollar Theater or Red Box. I'm certainly not paying full price for it. After all, I borrowed all the books from the library too.Holly (2 Kids and Tired)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13075380878850295214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-63704846611407044572008-12-08T19:36:00.000-08:002008-12-08T19:36:00.000-08:00Amy, I loved Twilight.
