Now I first read Twilight, when I was in 7th grade wayyy back in the day. My friend who now is my "sisfo" recommended it to me. And I hadn't read too many Vampire books back then. It wasn't as much of hit. And she said it was something different and had a pretty good villain. So I was like sure! I'll read it.
I still remember reading through it. It was interesting for me because it was the first time I had read something remotely romantic. Aside from other books that had hints and teases of romance. But here was this book where the love between the two main characters was the story. And it had vampires, and I'm not gonna lie I had a bookworm crush on Alice. And so I read it. I thought it was pretty good.
I read the second book, it added depressing elements which I liked and werewolves and truly bad ass Italian villains. I was ready! And it added a love triangle something I wasn't completely used to, so I was like who's Bella gonna pick!?
The third book had much more action and sexual tension. I loved it.
The fourth book. I was like uhh...What?
But now being older and having reread it like two years ago, I appreciate it more. Being an 8th grader reading it especially after an exciting third book I was pissed because she got married and had a kid. Like WTF right? But once I was older I was able to appreciate it more. I still hated that it didn't have as much action or really any action. It was the finale book. I wanted something exciting! Deathly Hallows was, why couldn't Breaking Dawn!
Then the movie came out....Twilight. And to do this it's one of the most awkward films I've ever watched. I don't think Kristen Stewart was ready for the role and I dislike the director Catherine, because she made it horribly awkward to watch onscreen. And of course the actual story on page was fine even great, but onscreen. *shivers*. Edward is a controlling stalker. Bella is terrible and too much of a damsel in distress.
New Moon the movie was better. They changed their looks slightly and they actually looked badass. There were more special effects and my favorite parts were with the werewolves, Volturi, and the brief Victoria scene. I digged it. Much better than the first film.
Eclipse was def much darker and I appreciated that. More action and they continued to look bad ass. I approved.
Breaking Dawn Pt 1: I expected it to be like the film and I was disappointed. But the movie did not disappoint. I think it was done very nicely and set it up for the finale.
Breaking Dawn Pt 2: It is my favorite of the films. Their acting got better. Everyone once in a while Kristen showed emotion. The little girl looked like she could be their daughter. The quasi-battle was amazing and when I first saw it I kept cussing and feeling confused and it had my emotions tingling. It was very nicely done and the last scene made me very nostalgic because I'd first opened that book in 7th grade. Now here I was watching the finale to this "saga" 6 years later. My how time flies. I was sad because this was at one point part of my life, and when HP was done I was distressed, and now something else has ended. It's bittersweet and whatever there may be complaints about this series, I can honestly and truly say I was a fan wayy before a movie, I was a true fan. And I saw it to the very end. I'm proud to say that. And I took my family to the midnight release so I wouldn't look like a loser.
Now I can move on.
