I've been so bad with watching movies in the big screen this year. I can maybe count with both hands (or maybe even with just 1!) the number of movies I've seen. The last one was Real Steel with Fro last month in Minneapolis. And before that, I think it was the last installment of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows...that was ages ago!
So when I learned that the first part of Breaking Dawn is showing this week, I convinced my brother and his girlfriend to watch it with me - quite ironic when I actually hated the book version of this installment. I liked the first 3 books in the series but not the last one - I remember I was in Minneapolis for a vacation when the last book came out and I dragged Osang and Ling to Target (or was it Barnes?) so that I could get a copy of the book on the first day it was released. But it was a letdown for me...the series should have ended with Eclipse.
But then again, it's Edward and Jacob so even if the movie sucks, at least there's some eye candy to compensate for that :) There's also this one scene I was curious in seeing - Fro and Scott told me about it and I was surprised that they, of all people, were aware of it (I knew it, Daddy and Mommy are Twilight fans! hahaha)! So with my fix of Tater's sour cream popcorn with extra butter, I expected not to like the movie.
But surprisingly, the movie wasn't that bad! I actually kinda liked it! I liked the wedding part (and ok, Edward was pretty hot in the honeymoon scenes...hihihi) and the ending was pretty cool - just right to end Part 1. This is the only time I'd say that the movie version is better than the book! I now want to re-read it and give it another chance...I might like it the second time around.
Not bad for my Friday movie 'date'. Who knows when I'd be able to watch another one again, but I'll definitely watch Part 2 of the finale...whenever that may be ;)
