I let my 13 year old daughter read the books. The books are always more graphic than the movies turn out to be because you can put so much more in a book. Just make the damn movie &amp; keep it as true to the book as you can. People let their kids watch Aliens and stuff like that with graphic &#39;birth&#39; scenes. In my view this is alot more tame. Personally I&#39;m hanging out for the next onscrene installment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17030624.post-16797642790286041242009-11-21T06:57:11.641+08:002009-11-21T06:57:11.641+08:00I am 67 &amp; devoured the books I didn,t want to watch the movie as with Lord of the Rings I thought I had the characters in my head &amp; didn,t want to be disappointed.My grandkids kept pestering me to see it so I finally did.&amp; wow was I wrong in both cases!I loved it &amp; will be seeing New Moon in a few days My grandaughter Maggie saw it at midnight &amp; was over the moon Give in to it we all need to dream ShirlShirl Campbellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17030624.post-2985214951377409502009-11-19T15:56:00.613+08:002009-11-19T15:56:00.613+08:00moWent to a midnight screening last night, am a huge fan of the books and like all book tomovie adaptations, never quitelivesup to the story, but nonetheless a more enjoyable watch than the first, which I saw for the first time on the big screen just before New Moon. Jacob&#39;s character makes for some great viewing, much more pleasing to the eye and judging from the gasps from the audience at his bulging physique,left Edward looking rather plain in comparrison. All out better than the first esp.in the effects dept.<br />ChrissAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17030624.post-86353941143752061532009-11-19T07:11:14.494+08:002009-11-19T07:11:14.494+08:00What a great review! I am a big Twilight fan, despite the many flaws in both the books and the first movie. I find the Edward character so overprotective and badly drawn, you just don&#39;t get to know him at all he is just the obsessed guy always watching Bella like a hawk. And you have to wonder just how slow Bella and the rest are when they are trying to figure out who the bad guy is this time when surprise its always the same &#39;people&#39;. However the main storyline is very compelling and the imagery is fantastic, despite some repetitiveness that hopefully will be cut out in the movies. I really loved the books. Mostly due to the fantastic Jacob character and the will they, won&#39;t they between him and Bella. I hope that due to Robert Pattinson&#39;s popularity we will get to know the the Edward character a bit better in the movies. So I loved the review, hilarious! as I love the franchise despite how cheesey it can be.Victoriahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13539279081926165093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17030624.post-88504855061037662602009-11-19T03:05:24.785+08:002009-11-19T03:05:24.785+08:00Meleita, it&#39;s almost physically impossible to be a great-grandmother at 63.<br /><br />Unless you had a kid @ 15, so did your child, their child, and their child with a few years to give or take.Fitzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09262867105152233537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17030624.post-39697772455529048112009-11-18T21:04:19.715+08:002009-11-18T21:04:19.715+08:00Just came from a double screening of Twilight first (we were just seeing Twilight again on the big screen)and the queues for the midnight screening of New Moon were intense! I too am a huge fan of the books and think it is wonderful that more young people are actually reading books again. I hope New Moon the movie is amazing as it is my favourite book out of the 4 novels. I will be seeing it tomorrow at Gold Class (why? so there are much less screaming teenagers around me!)and I will be saying Go Team Edward!<br />Enjoy everyone, Mum of 2 littliesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17030624.post-71835441534651308892009-11-18T13:32:07.940+08:002009-11-18T13:32:07.940+08:00I am a private music teacher who was forced to become a Stephenie Meyer fan by student pressure. I am so glad I consumed all her books, as she hits her younger readers with observable results. After reading the books, I had formerly reticent students using various words they had gleaned from her texts. And understanding them, having had to research their meanings! As a teacher - well done Stephenie Meyer!<br /><br />MandaMandanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17030624.post-55992764214265968782009-11-18T12:44:19.167+08:002009-11-18T12:44:19.167+08:00I have to say I agree with you and your review on Twilight. I rather enjoyed the first book however the movie killed it for me and haven&#39;t been inclined to pick up the sequel. <br />I am also curious to see how the sequel goes however I read a review on New Moon earlier today and apparently its not looking good. I look forward to reading your review!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17030624.post-71806677783196324292009-11-18T12:40:53.320+08:002009-11-18T12:40:53.320+08:00I&#39;m not fond of the Twilight movie, but I love the books, and I&#39;m really looking forward to seeing New Moon, when I can find a babysitter for the kids (my 15 year old is not a fan), and I can drag my husband to see it. He owes me for not being like Edward. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17030624.post-11156516340125016842009-11-18T11:58:01.638+08:002009-11-18T11:58:01.638+08:00HAVENT SEEN THE MOVIES..LOVE THE BOOKS..JUST BOUGHT DVD OF TWILIGHT..BY THE WAY I AM A GREAT GRANDMOTHER..ALBEIT A &quot;YOUNG&quot; 63 YR OLD ONE..LOLMeleitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04919287376777755257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17030624.post-1447915476890805642009-11-18T11:54:49.002+08:002009-11-18T11:54:49.002+08:00I am definitely a Twilight fan. At 53, I thoroughly enjoyed reading the books - what a great story Stephanie Meyer has given us. If you understand the characters of the book, I believe you will credit both Robert Pattinson and Kristin Stewart with fulfilling their roles very well. Yes, the story does hot up in New Moon with Jacob (Taylor Lautner) becoming part of the main story. Of course, having faces to put to the names, certainly makes it easier when reading the books. I have been happily getting through Twilight and New Moon once more, before I see the sequel very shortly!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17030624.post-10888805583109610542009-11-18T11:43:16.108+08:002009-11-18T11:43:16.108+08:00I simply can&#39;t wait for the movie to come out - even though I&#39;m neither a Tweenager or a Middle-Aged mum. I am happy to sense an unwilling change - and look forward to reading your reveiw - but only AFTER I&#39;ve seen it and made up my own mind :) Enjoy!<br />Cheers, BernieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17030624.post-39907054215563582472009-11-18T08:40:38.139+08:002009-11-18T08:40:38.139+08:00My parents are Twi-hards - at least I think thats what they call themselves - surprising to say in the least.Fitzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09262867105152233537noreply@blogger.com
