As many would agree, the movie Twilight has become a huge hit, especially among pre-teen and teen girls. The movie is based off of a series by author, Stephanie Meyer, and has become an outrageously popular movie. It was released in theaters nationwide on November 21, 2008 and took in $30 million the first day.
I have read the 1st three books in the Twilight series and have enjoyed them. I love the characters, action, realness of it all. And, I have to admit, the romance of it gets me. I can bluntly say that I am one of those foolish girls who had watched the teaser trailer months before the movie came out, and have seen every TV spot released on YouTube. I was sucked in to the chaos and turmoil of Twilight, watching interviews of Rob Pattinson (the vamp lead), reading countless articles in those teeny mags, and getting overly excited for opening night.
My friends and I got there an hour early and waited in the line full of screaming girls just to see this movie. In the end, I liked it, but it wasn't amazing. I actually had a hard time taking it seriously during the full two hours. Every five minutes, my friends and I (and the majority of the theater) would burst out in hysterical laughter. Overall, the movie had gotten mixed reviews from its fans.
Because the movie was such a huge success, (and let's face it, with all its fans, how could it not make a lot of money?) Summit has announced that a sequel, New Moon, will go into production.
