Hello! Anyone loves the whole series of Twilight? All of its series regardless is Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse or Breaking Dawn, are my favorite. The one i like best is Twilight as the start, and Breaking Dawn the final. This is because in between are those sad scenes like Edward left Bella by judging that Bella would not be hurt with his absence, but least did he know that Bella was even more hurt with his disappearance. And another scene is showing Bella liking two person, Edward and Jacob. She loves Edward more, but she loves Jacob too. This causes confusion and frustration. However, later the clouds are cleared when Bella is married to Edward, and Jacob imprinted on Bella's daughter. Hehe...loving it. =) I notice some story line of Twilight in the movie is different from the books we read. Many told me that they prefer reading the book because it is much nicer than the movie produce. What about you? Also, the coming Breaking Dawn (Part 2) is going to be released soon. Just can't wait for it! ^o^ Are you just as excited as me waiting for the release??

That's the worst thing I didn't watch to any movies on twilight. I am outdated to movies lately after I've work abroad. My business before partner with my friend was related to video rental. We have more than 2,000 movies on file we back 2006. Now, no time to watch any movies.

Wow, is working abroad that busy? Take care, and take a pit stop to rest. Watching movies online once a while is no harm. =) I am also quite outdated to movies, but not as long as you. Maybe most of your free time is already spent for mylot, so no time for watching movies. Hehehe...

I don't really love it but since it is a vamp movie.. i watch it.. I have only read the first bk and it was not very good.. just simple.. My friends say the last book is good. I just want to see the last movie since their daughter is super cute. And i wanna see if vamp Bella acts better..

Hi lady1993, do you mean you like vamp movie and that is why you watch it? Yup, from the book, the last part is best. I wish it will not be disappointing though. =) Recently there are some hick-ups on the main actor and actress, hopefully it did not affect the movie production.

Yes, i am a vampire story lover.. I have read and watched a lot of vampire stuff.. and they are fun. Each of them has their own take on how a vampire looks like and lives and loves.. Yeah, i heard about the cheating of Kristen but they got back together..

Ooh...since you are a vampire story lover, then you will need to "stay tune" for the final breaking dawn part 2. hahaha.. =D yeap, they got back together...hopefully they will be able to firm up their relationship again (but that is up to them to decide). We will just wait for the best movie to release. =)

I'm not a big fan of the Twilight movies, I've never read the books and from what you've discussed I'd call you a Twihard. My wife likes them but I just can't get into them, I've tried. I'm not one to bag on movies that other people like or burn a book that I've never read so I'll just say, I hope you enjoy the movie.

Hehe, i think maybe i am. At first, i was not into Twilight, but then my brother encouraged me to read the books. It was all started with the books that i like Twilight show that much. But of course, the movie story line can never be as good as the books. Seems like your wife is unable to get you interested with the movie too. But is okay, you have your interest for sure. Thank you for your respond, and i wish you a good day enjoying your preference too. =)

When you read the books first, you usually hate the movies because they skip many things and make the story look worse.I saw the movies first.And I didn't care about the books, honestly.I'm not a fan of the books, but I really liked the first and the third part of the Twilight series.I mean Twilight and Eclipse.The second part where they separate is boring and from the Breaking Dawn part 1 I like the wedding, but the rest isn't so great.I hope that the last one will be the best.:)There's one more thing: I enjoy the soundtracks of the movies,I think they're great.Some tracks are soo romantic..

Hi ladysilver, you hit it right. Books are normally very descriptive with its flow, and i love to read their books. But when it comes to the movies, ...I do not hate the movies, but just felt kind of different with it. Felt lost, and wonder how did this part of the movie came about because it's weird as it was not described in the book. Anyway, most of us are awaiting for the final breaking dawn. Hopefully it does not disappoint us all! =D Yup, one of my favorite song is called "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri. I am sure you will like it too. =)

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. I have just watched Twilight and have missed out the other series. I love the chemistry between the lead protagonists and i wish i could watch the other series as well. i would like to prefer watching Twilight over the screens than to read in the books as u can feel the story and get involved in it which is generally missing when u read out a book of the same theme. What say?

Hi subhojit10, glad you like it! You are very much welcome. Oh, since you have missed the other series, you can download it over the internet. I am sure you will enjoy it. Also, before the release of the final show, you get to know the whole story line, so that you will not be lost when you watch the last part. =) Yes, i agree that watching over the screens we are able to feel and get involved with the story. Furthermore, now we have 3D and sound system, really enhance alot through viewing over the screen. However, i can work both ways. Even from the books i can put my person into it. I would get engrossed into the books as well. hahaha...
