1. Having read the book, it stayed very true to it.
2. Kristin Stewart was a little too awkward for me, I would have loved to see what Rachel Evan Wood would have done with the role…however, I can live with Stewart as long as Robert Pattinson stays on as the vulnerable, chivalrous vampire Edward…what he can do with the subtlety of a look makes you wonder what he’ll do beyond his blockbuster status.
3. The pale blue hue of the movie made everyone seem pale, and made me shiver a bit, which might have been because it was thundersnowing outside, or that the location of the movie was just right. Either way, I was drinking hot cocoa under a fleece blanket…gotta love movie atmosphere.
4. And yes, the book is WAY better than the movie…but then again, it always is…
5. It’s Interview with a Vampire meets high school, with a little twist of Harry Potter romance and magic, mixed in with a very blue, pale-hued location named Forks.
