Καsτοr Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I thought the books were alright, but sincerely, if I watch the movie, then it would really ruin me. Reading is better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayasato-chan Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I actually LIKED the Twilight series. (Not obsessive-liked, but they were good.) But yes. The movie was, for want of a better word, crap. I prefer the books. But then again, the book has its faults too: 1. Meyer spends a paragraph or two describing 1 object with tons of fancy wording (Odd).2. The romance thing between Edward and Bella is wrong. How the heck do you fall in love at first sight with someone at first sight AND not be freaked that they're a vampire?3. As stated previously, lack of character development, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good authors are supposed to be able to describe things in detail. Granted, Meyers isn't a good author, but... 2. Have you ever read Romeo and Juliet? Or seen any classic Disney movie, really... 3. That's kind of a huge fault in a book...The two main things IN a story are character development and plot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shradow Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 I've read all the books and seen the movie. But... Books > Movie Although, it's to be expected. The books are more descriptive. If the movie had everything in the book, it would be a couple hours longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitemare452 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Okay it obvious everyone that is knocking the books are guys, and the only reason they are is there girlfriends would rather have Edward then them. I am a guy and I liked the books..no im not emo or gay.. yes there was faults in em, but yet it seems to get everyone's attention. I wouldnt suggest everyone to read em, because everyone has different taste in books. Personaly I am more into the Knights of the Round Table. If you are going to get the movie I would give it a month till its in the 10 dollar ben at walmart tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they can actually only do s*** once a month -____- A traditional vampire vs a traditional werewolf - the vampire wins' date=' hands down.[/quote'] That just makes them more badass. Generally, that once of month, they surpass vampires by far. A werewolf is about as strong as a human who has done martial arts training for half of their life whilst in human form. As a wolf, they have the physical strength of a medium sized bull bovine.A vampire has the strength of two men who have lifted wieghts their entire lives all of the time. They can also transform into wolves, bats, and smoke (something that was absent in Twilight), as well as hypnotize most minds. They have some small "magical" ability. They can request wolves and bats and rats ect to aid them. In a battle between a werewolf and a vampire, even if the werewolf is in wolf form, it is still a constantly replenishing army with a super badass general versus 1 creature. I think vampires are better. Except in Twilight, then they are "male models" *coughcoughgaycoughcough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
