I have been transformed. I have now officially seen Twilight the movie. And can I just say, in no uncertain terms, that I loved it!!

I went into the theater so nervous, with very low expectations. I tried to forget the book, and watch the movie with an open mind. I realize they could not follow the book exactly, and I didn’t want that to be a crutch for me disliking or criticizing the movies. Man, was I pleasantly surprised. I think they did an amazing job!

These actors, they are Edward and Bella. They brought them to life for me in ways I didn’t know they could or would. I am still irrevocably in love with Edward Cullen. Probably even more so now. At times he seemed a little awkward, but he was supposed to be awkward. It was just perfect, and I couldn’t be more happy with it.

I loved the vampire baseball scene. It was beautiful to see that part of the book come to life with such beauty and precision. Alice was great, and Jasper and his bat tricks were a little hot. Even though he looked a lot like Edward Scissorhands throughout the movie. It would have been really nice to get a little more interaction between them (Alice & Jasper) and Bella. But, I suppose there was a story to tell and it revolved more around the love between Edward and Bella. It worked out beautifully.

I had so many “favorite parts” that I don’t even know where to begin. I loved when James said “You brought a snack” - wow, was that hot!! I loved when Edward caught the apple. I loved when Edward had to suck the venom from Bella’s arm. I love when Charlie was cleaning his gun and Edward was there to meet him. I love the way they arrived at school together and turned everyone’s heads. I loved Edward’s struggle in Biology class (and am especially thankful that I was able to read Midnight Sun to understand his struggle). Mostly though, I loved the way he adored and protected her. And the way she loved him without regard to her own safety or caring what others might think. Oh, and when the Cullens made their on screen appearance as they entered the cafeteria… it was as if time was frozen. It was beautiful.

I can’t wait to go see it again.
