Yay! Twilight latest and final trailer is out. I don't think there's much changes to it compare to the previous version. No wonder it looks the same to me, that trailer haven't change at all when I 1st post this...Sorry Now, it's countdown to the day Twilight the movie comes to Singapore! The latest trailer is just beautiful! I'm so excited for it! December 18th 2008 just seem so far away compare to the release date (November 21st) in US.
Twilight all the way! The most-anticipated movie of the year.
Typically, movies based on books aren't very good and they don't seem to do the books justice. One good example is Harry Potter series, it was a downward slide from book 3 onwards. I was so upset by it because PoA is my favourite.
In my opinion, I will give Twilight the movie a chance. I will definitely watch it in December but it still remains to be seen if I really like the movie. There are already scenes in it that I'm not too please about. What's with the 'spider monkey' comment anyway? And then there's the tree-scaling scene. I don't think I can bear to watch them making a fool out of a really good book. One thing to note, vampires can climb trees but that scene is not suppose to be in the movie at all. There's no such scene in the book. I'm one of the many fans who are not happy about that.
I know for a fact that there can be no exact replica from the book to a movie. Either the book is too long like Harry Potter and Twilight or some scenes in a book are just too boring for a film.
All I can hope is that not too many original scenes will be cut away and replace by "action-packed" scenarios or one of those scenes that they put in to make it "interesting". Most of the time, it will be counter-productive. Fans will not like it and people who watch just the movie may think what a joke it is and not read the books at all.
Still, movies based on books are great in general because they appeal to the masses who are "too busy" to read a book. In a book, one have to imagine the scenarios which the characters are in. Sometimes, it is really hard to do that even if you have an active imagination. That's when the movie comes in. You will then have that "Eureka!" moment.
Spirited Away by Cindy Miles is one of the many books I want to watch as a movie. I think it will be sweet and beautiful to see the whole novel comes to life.
One tip, always read the book 1st, then go watch the movie. One will know what they have been missing all these time and find out that perhaps books are greater than movies or vice versa.
