I've read all the books, and seen all the movies.

In my personal opinion, theres far too much hype over it all. I mean, while I was reading the books, I enjoyed them. But then after I had gone and re-read them... <.<; Not so much. Edward is a tad over possessive,[to the point where he actually stalks the girl, and not in the good way] Jacob is just OBsessive , Bella ... honestly? She's freaking self centered... the rest of the characters I'm alright with. Even Rosalie. Because she has a reason to be bitchy.

The first movie was done HORRIBLY. Catherine Hardwicke was going for "documentary style filming"... why? I have no idea. The second movie was better, because it had a better director, but they kept the same screen writer, so even though the visuals got better, the dialogue didn't. Same with the third movie. I will say this, though.. I'm interested to see where they take breaking dawn, and how they're gonna make it so the movie isn't rated-R.

Well... I read the books, The first time I thought they were good... But then I read them again... And I noticed the writing and characterization. Nearly all of the characters were really boring and flat. The movies also had glaring issues. In the first movie, theres a scene where Bella is riding on Edward's back. You could see Edwards feet at the bottom of the scene... I could actually see the wire that was pulling him along.

I loved the books. It took me a long time to read the, because there are to many fans of them for my taste... Someone always agrees with what you have to say about them. I know friends that are not friends anymore from stupid shit like that so I tend to stay away... but back to the put. I read them during my finals week in college. Finished all of them in 2 1/2 days, and I've been meaning to re-read them. I fear like the two posts above me that if I re-read it I'll hate it. Not cause of what they said but because when I read them they were... "predictable" "just another vamp book series" "boring for large portions of the books"

And the movies... oh honey the movies should just burn. Cause they are no where NEAR as good that the predictable vamp books. But then, movies from books NEVER are. But there are those people that don't read... at all. And I find it sad but I live for the next story. So the movies are made for people like that. And for those people they might be good enough.
The only good thing that came out of that was to see Taylor's body >///>
And no, I'm not team whoever. I don't give a damn... but he's got a good body...

I'll be honest. I loved the Twilight books. XD However a friend of mine hates them and has a T-shirt that says "and then Buffy staked Edward. The End." And I love that T-shirt too. XDD

I don't agree fully with Mizeria, some movies made from books are fairly decent (to me) it's just hard to compare them to the books because with books you can almost always visualize something better than anything they can put in a movie :3

I liked the books more than the movies. I liked breaking dawn the best.

Having never read the books, I can state that the movies are at least interesting. And yes, I am a guy. Saw them more out of boredom than anything else at first. It is a given that any series of books adapted to movie form will have some discrepancies.

[Arikana]

I've only seen the first two movies of the series so far, and comparing them to their book counterparts...well, I'm just going to say outright that they are pure, utter crap. >_>;;
The only good point about the New Moon movie was probably the cgi animation for the shapeshifters' scenes. >_>; But the rest was just crap. It's as if the actors and actresses didn't understand how to act in the first two movies.

Hopefully when and if, which is a big if, I choose to see the movie counterparts to the third and fourth books, they'll be a lot better.

But definitely choosing to watch them in theatre would never happen for me as it's just not worth the money to do so.

I read the first book when it came out back in middle school; loved it. After that, they started going down hill. By "Breaking Dawn", she was breaking her own canon and I kinda figured the Twilight franchise had hit it's low point.

I was wrong.

The movies came out. >.< Never again. Ever.

The first movie had me walking out 20 minutes into it; I couldn't stand the pacing, the acting, or the issues with the storyline when compared to the book. It just left me feeling irked.

[Zenella]

Breaking Dawn was surprisingly good. The acting was MUCH better. And as always, the wolves were effing amazing.

But the movies before it were just...I dunno, they could have done A LOT better with them.

[Obsidian_Sunshine]

I think that the books were way better then the movies but I enjoyed watching the movies too. I really can't wait to see Breaking Dawn. I wish my boyfriend would go with me too.

[Tiva]

I read the books in high school, they were good enough to fix my Harry Potter craving since I can read a book a week if not faster. They weren't the greatest writing in the world but it was decent. My older sister and my niece liked them better than I did, I guess a high school junior isn't in the exact target group.

I have seen the movies, they bother me mostly because of the lack of good acting that makes the characters seem more flat than they really are. I can't wait for the twilight crazy to end.

[Alpha]

Yeah, I'm with Tiva. Never read the books (probably should, just to get better idea of movies) and only seen the first two movies. Tiva thinks I'm crazy for that much, but I have a feeling I will be seeing the last few as in being dragged with to see....

[hyjin]

Like any movie that follows off of a book. There are details missing. I liked the first movie, but the rest began to go down hill...

[Tiva]

*rolls eyes at Alpha* No you won't because I don't really care much to see them.

[Alpha]

Okay, well, that's a bit of a relief.

[Zerook]

I read the first book. Saw the first and last movie.
I hated them all (a friend took me to the movie). The movie made me dizzy with the camera work. Terrible acting. Boring pace.
The main characters in the book are really dull, even less than that, I don't know Edward or Bella's personality.
There was HUGE potential for a great book such as the ensuing battle in the end of the first book but nothing really happened. The other characters could have shined through as well such the quirky Alice and Carlisle (is it not awesome that a vampire is a doctor working with blood?).
