[HPFGU-Movie] OT: Twilight (was Re: Twilight vs. HP)

[Cabal]

When I saw the first Twilight trailer I thought it was a sequel to “The
Covenant” and I’m still not sure it’s not. To slick and glossy, standard
Hollywood for my taste.

I didn't think I would like these Twilight movies at all, starting with the
fact that "they" are saying it is the new Harry Potter. I saw the movie last
week and enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. There were even some
scary parts! I think that (Cedric/Edward) is a very very good actor, and has
a brilliant American-English Accent. I really liked how the Vampire family
was. I won't go into detail for spoiler-sake, but it was interesting.. I
even had these books in my possetion at one point, but sold them on Ebay...I
am now rethinking my decision...I recommend this movie to all
fantasy-lovers. Two thumbs up!

OK, well I'm back from Twilight, and I have to say I DID enjoy it! A 
definite 'chick flick' according to the guy who was sitting next to me 
and was obviously dragged along by his girlfriend. He kept rolling his 
eyes and sighing at the heavy romantic parts, LOL!
That Cedric/Edward is an extreme hottie though! (sorry, had to say it!)
But yes, it's no Harry Potter. Haven't yet read these books which may 
be more in depth than the movie, but it was a basic love story whereas 
HP is so multi-layered, IMO.
