Twilight

[Yeddi]

I read the books first and really enjoyed them, then I watched the movies, which I thought were absolutely terrible! Those movies killed it for me. I can't stand Kristen Stewart - a cardboard box would emote more and have better screen presence, and lucky all RPatz mainly has to do is brood and look pretty because his acting leaves much to be desired. I'm going to now...

Well I LOVE it....I too read the books after the movie came out out of curiosity and became like an addict I would sneak reads whenever I could! I had the series read in 10 days...My DH thought he was a single dad in that time

Its not for everyone but I LOVE them...hence "forks" in my Avvy

I agree. Except I don't find him good looking either I liked the books, but I haven't bothered seeing past the first movie.

Read all the books before the Movie came out..due to the movie not being out when I read the books Lol!
I am now collecting the movies as they come out

I saw the 1st Twilight in January this year, then the New Moon in March...but still didn't seem to get into it. But then one of my friends lent me the books in July and even though I'd seen the first 2 movies...because they were a few months ago...I'd kinda forgotten what happened. And once I'd started reading...I was hooked - it was hard to put down. I couldn't read them in a week like some of you's but managed to get through them within 8 weeks (impressive for me since I hadn't read a book since high school and that I have a toddler and baby to look after).

I think the books are soooo much better then the movies - much more detail, so even though you know whats happening next, its still a little different. But I still can't wait to see the Breaking Dawn movies....in 2011 and 2012 - it seems forever away...so for that reason I recommend you continue reading the books otherwise you'll be waiting forever to see what happens...and boy is it good!!! (well I think so anyway).

I watched the first movie when it just came out and didn't know anything about it. Loved the movie. Then I found out there were books! So naturally I had to buy them and read them at once.

Loved the books - but I didn't read Twilight - I thought it might ruin my love of the movie at first. So I just read all the others in about 2 weeks. Couldn't put them down.

Have seen the first two movies, waiting for the 3rd to come out on DVD.

I don't have time to read a book, but would like to one day read twilight. Maybe next year when Brendan is at Kindy.

I borrowed Twilight from MIL and LOVED it, so went out and bought all 4 books when Target had them on special and read them cover to cover within a week or so, THEN i watched Twilight, New Moon & Eclipse.

The books and movies are completely different but IMO neither is ever going to live up to the other. I like the books and the movies in their own respects.
