My Official Twilight Review

Ok, so I'm going to try not to give too much of a detailed review for those of you who haven't seen the movie and would like to, and don't want me to spoil anything. I loved the movie. I was a little "eh" about a few things but I would defiantly see it again. A few things I will admit. I went to this movie with low expectations. I knew going in that you can't squish a 600 page book into a 2 hour movie. I knew it was low budget and I was not familiar with Rob Pattinson (except for Harry Potter), Kristen Stewart, or Catherine Hardwicke. So I didn't have my hopes up too high. However, I was very impressed with their interpretations of Edward and Bella. I was pleasantly surprised. And now I would like to share mine, Chris' and Natalie's experience at the movie last night to give you the feeling of how appreciative I was to see the ENTIRE movie.

I had originally planned to leave work at 3:30 and take the train down to Gateway to pick up our tickets and make sure everything went smoothly. Well, I had Brian's mom offer to pick me up from work so I didn't have to take the train, woo hoo! So, she came to get me about 4:00. Eh, I was ok since the movie didn't start until 4:45. We get to the Gateway and pull in the underground parking garage and it was a JOKE! There were a million cars down there, hardly moving. All for the movie, I'm sure. So after ten minutes and moving pretty much 5 feet, I got out the car to go up to the theater to pick up the tickets. In the mean time, Natalie calls me at 4:20 and is just leaving work and has NO IDEA how to get to the Gateway. I'm already in a frenzy from thinking I'm going to miss the beginning of the movie, and I'm also trying to give her directions to get there, but not to get mixed up in that joke of a parking lot. So I get the tickets and I'm pacing around outside the theater waiting for Chris and Natalie to find me... and it's 4:45. I was just about to pee my pants. At about 4:55 we are FINALLY all together and I'm just about running in the movie theater thinking we missed the beginning. So we find theater 3 and burst through the doors and once I can finally see the screen.... THEY WERE STILL SHOWING PREVIEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tears welled up and I was shouting "It's still previews! It's still previews!" Yes, I just about cried. I waited a year for this movie. We ran to our seats (thank heaven for reserved seating!) and literally right as we sat down the movie started. SIGH of relief! For the first 20 minutes I keep thinking "I can't believe I'm finally here".

After the movie, we had dinner at The Melting Pot. I was so excited because I'd never been there. It was way yummy and we had so much fun! I think Natalie and I got a little drunk off the cheese! I'll post pictures of our girls night out when I get them! Thanks ladies I had so much fun!

P.S. If you DO want to know what I thought of the movie, you'll have to email me!
