A Walk to Remember vs. Twilight

I'm not being biased or anything, but I want to know what you think of "A Walk to Remember" as opposed to "Twilight." The latter has been like a fad--teens gush over Robert Pattinson and Kirsten Stewart's team-up. The series of novels upon which the movie and upcoming ones are based have become best-sellers. Movie-goers can't wait for "New Moon" to come out in theaters. I haven't read the books, but I've seen the movie (Twilight). And I think that it's a bit too overrated. Again, I'm not against the fans of Edward and Bella. It's just that i think that in the romantic perspective of the story, "A Walk to Remember" portrays more effectively how love works. Personally, I believe that love changes things...ultimately for the better. Both movies have shown that love does do that, but in "Twilight" I can say that it's not for the better. I'm not a believer of vampires or any of the sort, so I don't approve of the fact that Bella actually wanted to become a vampire just so she could be with Edward. On the other hand, Landon began to realize that there is more to his life and gained a better perspective of it when she met Jamie. And he wanted to sort things out with himself so he could be worthy of the love Jamie was ready to give. He respected her deeply and wanted the best for her. Maybe Edward also wanted the Best for Bella, but their story is just too worldly for my liking. I sincerely apologize if any of you feel offended in any way. But I gave Twilight a fair chance. I hope none of you will take this personally.

Not offensive at all! Honestly, I have seen both movies and both movies affected me differently. A Walk To Remember is a fantastic movie, no doubt. It and Twilight cannot be compared. However, I liked Twilight in the sense that it was different. I will tell you that in order to truly get it, you need to read the books. While the actress playing Bella was very good and the movie's plot did closely follow the book, only the books really get you into Bella's mind and give you a better idea of why she makes the choices she makes. I am on the 4th book and as an avid reader, I can tell you this is one of the best series I've ever read.

Your comparation is a bad one:)) very bad, there are a lot of love movies in this world, have you ever whatched the love story? or sweet september? and others in those the story is the same like a walk to remember. Twilight isn't in the romance movies because he is a sciencific one. Could you compare an vampire love with Pete Barret love from love story? No it is something absurd. Sorry for my critics
