The following contains MODERATE SPOILERS for "Twilight." Screams of prepubescent girls and teenagers could be heard around the globe last Friday as the much anticipated film "Twilight" roared into movie theatres. Based on a series of four books by Stephanie Meyer, it's the story of a teenage girl and her vampire boyfriend. Amid the chaos - I, a normally gung-ho fan, decided to stay home and see it early Saturday morning, in an attempt to keep my sanity and actually enjoy the movie.Now, as a 26 year old, I couldn't justify staying up until midnight on Thursday night to go see it as much as I wanted to. It's no "Lord of The Rings."   So, enjoy it I did - for the most part. My sisters and I have read the books, averaging about a week or so between the three of us to read all four ... so we like to consider ourselves "true" fans.  I even wore my T-shirt. Here are a few of my happy thoughts on the movie - 1. I was all set to hate Kristen Stewart in this movie. She appears to dislike the screaming fans at all "Twilight" events, and acts as though she is much too good to be there. She appears to consider herself an artist - and puts her nose up at the popular movie. Nonetheless, I found myself liking her. I always felt Bella was whiny and self-absorbed in the book - so Kristen Stewart was the perfect choice in my opinion. 2. I loved that they read the preface to the book in the first scene of the movie. It set the tone that (hopefully) the movie wasn't going to be that far from the book. It was going to stay true to the story, and I think that was really great. It easily could have been overlooked, and the movie could have started with Bella on her way to Forks, but I thought this was a nice little detail that wasn't left on the cutting room floor. 3. I found Edward Cullen, played perfectly by Rob Pattinson of Harry Potter fame, funny in the movie, and not so much in the book. I think it was a smart move to add this. What girl won't fall for a funny guy? Not too mention how funny Jackson Rathbone's portrayal of Edward's brother, Jasper, was. That dead stare was great! 4. Stephanie Meyer's cameo in the diner- a nice touch for us "true" fans. And here are a few of my complaints - 1. My sisters and I all thought the movie was rushed in the beginning. I know everyone wants to get to Edward already - but please let me catch my breath before he takes it away again! 2. Deletion of special scenes in the book - what happened to Bella fainting at the sight of blood? Forget the fact that Bella can't seem to walk by herself for just a moment in any of the books (this is something I try to forget when reading them). I wanted to watch Bella faint and have Edward carry her to the nurse's office...but to my disappointment...this didn't make it into the movie. I suppose the mysterious field trip scene was added instead? 3. The meadow. I'm sure those that have read the books know exactly where I'm going with this - but since when did their first kiss happen in Bella's bedroom with her in her underwear? This scene was supposed to happen after the meadow, next to Bella's truck. Just to note - the books are extremely tame; I suppose this was an attempt to sex the movie up a bit, but I'm not sure if it's something that was best to change. In the end, I know there must be differences between a book and a movie. After all, they're completely different mediums, and a book that has been written in first person must have some inevitable changes for a movie. All of us screaming fans were there because we adored the book, why mess with a good thing? So, this fan says that if you've read the book, you might be a bit disappointed. Of course, this is almost always the case. Books are limitless, and movies have some restrictions. Movies have to get to the point in a timely manner; they don't leave important elements up to your imagination (for example, character descriptions and settings). Books don't have budgets and can make you believe the unbelievable - like a vampire falling in love with an annoying teenage girl. For people who haven't read the book, I think you might enjoy it. Get past the obvious soundtrack choices, geared at keeping the teenagers in the audience happy, and you'll see that it's a sweet love story that gives young girls expectations that will probably never be met in high school. With "Twilight" taking in $70 million this weekend, the sequel based on "New Moon" was green lighted after the success of this one, and I for one can't wait. "Twilight" was directed by Catherine Hardwicke, and stars Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson. It is based on a book by Stephanie Meyer. Express yourself and be part of the news!
