I totally picked the right time to go (1:00 p.m. on Sat.) because the theater was full of people like me (30+ with and without kids) rather than squealing teens. I realize this kind of made me miss out on part of the whole experience because I didn’t get to hear them sigh and see their faces as their little hearts fluttered at Rob’s hotness.
First off, let me say that I really loved the movie. It was very well made and very well acted by all and the scenery was gorgeous. I also took it in for what it was, which many people seem to be having a hard time doing. If you’re planning on going to see it, please keep in mind what exactly it is that you are going to see. It’s a teen love story with vampires. It’s not non-stop action or blood or sex. If you read the books, you know this. If you didn’t, well, just know that it isn’t your typical “vampire” tale and it has some cheesy dialogue. It’s supposed to. It was in the book. If you don’t like that kind of thing and/or didn’t like the book, then go watch something else instead.
That said, on to my review which contains spoilers. Yes! There are spoilers ahead, so if you don’t want to know, then don’t click and read more…
