The worst let down for me was the first movie! I hated all the humor-too much-the book had some funny lines in it and funny moments, but not to the extent the first director did! And the add-ins were the worst-why the hell did she do that when there were so many other things she left out that were so much better?!

New Moon didn't upset me as much-I controlled my hopes and actually was pleasantly surprised. It's my least favorite of the books because Edward's gone so long, but the 2nd movie was far better than the 1st in my opinion.

Now Eclipse...I'm seeing it tomorrow and am a little scared, lol! It's my favorite of the books-all the action, drama, Edwards back to stay, poor Jacob's heart is broken over and over again even though he brings it on himself (though we find out why in 4), and everything comes together so nicely! Edward cares for Jacob, Bella's in love with them both, Jacob's still a child, but the characters made me cry a few times in this one. I pray they stick to the book as much as possible-not by dissecting lines, but the story line and truly important moments to us, like when Jacob finds out they're engaged and when she really breaks his heart in the end.

The fourth is the biggest movie for me, though! What will Nessie be like?! I'm so excited for that-then I'll have all the movies, suck it up and watch the first so I can get to the final three (hopefully all of which I'll approve of)! I just wish Stephanie had kept writing, lol, so the story would never end, because honestly, why does it have to?! They're immortal and who wouldn't LOVE to see the battle where the Volturi finally fall?!

That's ok. It is isn't it?

Ugh. I just feel like they are not even trying. It is so bland and simple and disappointing.

I'm just now replying to your comment about how we don't have a real official poster for Eclipse…and It's funny cause I took so long to reply now we DO have an Official poster. lol Of course, I think the Official poster is rather boring though.

I'm with you @TheLionFellIn<3W/Ceci-ROBECI…I too haven't read the script nor am I planning to. I just really hope that they stick to the book, Eclipse is my fave book out of the whole saga and by them changing it up it will only bring me back to Twilight.. SO I'm hoping its great…as for NM i think it did stick to the book a lot, we must understand that not every detail is going to be put in the movie especially with the length of the book….its not impossible to do I just think its not needed…So like everyone else is saying to all please relax and just breath when the movie is released then we can kick,shout,cry or whatever you all feel like doing…;)

Well, I'm glad you think that way!!! I really go back and forth on the acting… there is something there that bothers me immensely, but I don't know what it is.

On the other hand, I did get emotional during NM at a) the reunion kiss, and b) at the end when Bella tells Jacob that she'll choose Edward. Sigh…

actually, i love their acting. rob is perfect as edward and taylor is my perfect jacob. but i meant when jacob speaks to edward i wanted more emotion there. but the rest tugged at my heart strings and made me melt. i love his voice. /le sigh/

and isnt edward supposed to be like that? lol. like when he tells bella he'll protect her he looked like a goofball to me lol. sounded bland. this is only the first time i ever criticized it. but they reshoot scenes many times and the ones in trailers usually never make it into the movie so there's still time.

I know, I wasnt a fan of the bouffant personally.

Exactly!
New moon:O my edward. That was EPIC,
Twilight: O my edward, What have they done to you? WHY do you look like a psycho with spit in his hair?!?

well now…after reading as many comments as I could stand–boy! I wish some folks could give these movies a chance. I mean, if we want every frickin' line from the books, why bother with the movie at all–pick up the book and read those precious lines! Movies operate on a whole different level and appeal to a whole different set of senses. What might take three pages of description and dialogue to explain in the book, can be done with fewer lines and more visual shots or close-ups.
I was happy overall with the trailer, but it seemed very monotone and slow-motion for me. I think it was to give us that whole “very heavy stuff happening in this film” feeling. It makes me think “suspense” and some seriousness is coming. So, I am happy about some of that monotone quality, and I'll accept it. (I like Kristen's comment about the trailer)
Anyway…someone above commented about LoTR book & movie, and I had to chuckle…I saw the movies and tried to read the books from cover to cover–I was so determined! But no way…I love Tolkien, but he had Aragorn singing, Legolas singing, Bilbo singing, and even Eomer singing until I just said enough with all the frickin' singing! Can you imagine what laughs that stuff would've gotten in the movie? So my point is…the book's the book, and the movie's the movie. Enjoy them BOTH. Or you may ruin it for yourself. These trailers are supposed to be a choreographed sample of the entire movie. It's a tough job.
