Did anyone see this one yet?

What did you think?

Did the Director do the book justice?

message 3: by Bee (new)

Bee (justabluebee) I heard it was really good. I'm going to watch it tuesday.


message 4: by Rebecka (new)

Rebecka It was great! Although I nearly died when (view spoiler) because I was taking a drink of soda when it happened. I think they did a good job though.

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 549 comments OMG the movie was truly epic! I saw it at midnight 3 days ago, the premiere, and because my country's the first to see the sun each morning, I would have been one of the first people in the world to see it! :D
I thought it was a hilarious movie! And especially when (view spoiler) The whole theater groaned and was so disappointed!

I know!! I haven't read the last book for a reason and the reason was I wanted to be surprised. I loved that (view spoiler) i really think this was the best out of all the 4.

I saw the midnight showing as well and it wasnt as crowded as I thought from the previous twilight movies I've been too.


message 7: by Danielle (new)

Danielle Forrest (theeternalscribe) It was not. It completely omitted some of the integral portions of the book. I was really expected more as I enjoyed Part I better than the previous two movies and thought they were getting their acts together. The only worthwhile portion of the movie was a fight scene that was not in the book. Tragic.

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 549 comments Well I haven't read the book so I can't judge. I'm just about to get the first from the library to read them all.

The movie was different from the book. It's too bad because up until this point they've stayed pretty close to the books, with a few exceptions. I don't know why they would change that now. Ratings I guess.


message 10: by Rebecka (new)

Rebecka It's been awhile since I read the books so I didn't remember all of the details, and of course they never follow the books as much as most of us would like, but I try to just enjoy the movie for the movie. I have had a hard time with all of the movies because I can't stand Kristen Stewart as Bella, but I liked these last two movies the most I think.

Well, I haven't read breaking dawn but I heard there was a twist and I saw an interview with stephany Meyer and they asked her is this going to be the end of Bella and Edward and she said for now......I'm taking a break. So my guess is there is going to be another movie hence the left opened ending.

Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) Breaking Dawn part 2 was Epic. It was unexpected and my heart just fell on THAT SCENE! Geez! I love how the director did that scene. It totally rocked the whole theater.

Until now I couldn't get over it. That unforgettable feeling. Among the four.. this was the best one.

I don't really expect movies to follow the books. I hope but I don't expect it. This movie didn't just not follow it, it changed pivotal events (like when Bella goes and gets the new identities for Nessie and Jacob). And there was no plot. Period. The entire movie could have been summed up in a single fight scene.

Sorry, I'm really trying not to rant. It seems the further I get from watching it, the worse my impression of it. Like I said, I was really looking forward to this one and am getting increasingly bummed that it was the only one I managed to see in theaters. I think I might have to avoid this discussion...

Lexie (livetoread66) | 35 comments I thought the movie was good, but the book was a million times better. It seemed like the movie omitted vital parts & didn't give Bella & Edward's narrative/insight as well as they had in previous movies. If you held off reading the book until after watching the movie I'd guess you'd be pleasantly surprised. I would love to hear someone's perspective who watched the movie first then read the book.


message 15: by Janette Smith (new)

Janette Smith The movie was great I loved it. No it wasn't just like the book but it had all the great parts in it and the twist was crazy. So if you lie the twilight movies you will enjoy this movie!!


message 16: by MeMe Belikova (new)

MeMe Belikova First lady Ivashkov (alicebelikovreads) | 949 comments LOVED it!!!! Of course the movie was going to be different from the book and I think the director did a great job. I really don't care that he didn't follow the book because it was still a great movie!


message 17: by Zuzia (new)

Zuzia I think it was the 2nd best movie, following New Moon. The ending was EPIC!!!!


message 18: by Brandy (new)

Brandy Nacole (brandynacole) | 173 comments Saw the movie tonight and I think it was the BEST movie out of the 5. I loved the twist at the end, it really brought some justified action and I love the point of view we get from Alice, we don't get those views in the books. Overall, I thought is was awesome


message 19: by Sahar (new)

message 20: by Bee (new)

Bee (justabluebee) It was awesome! :D


Tammy ~Witching Hour Reads~ (03tammy-lynn) | 1434 comments It took everything I had to stay in my seat and not start screaming at the screen (view spoiler) .
I was quite happy the way it ended.

Stan Morris (morriss003) A good show; very enjoyable.
