Twilight! High hopes?

And finally finally I saw twilight. And yet if left to me I wouldn't have been able to go but well some people are persistent. :)

It was cool. Nicely made. Interesting and cutely romantic. Different from almost everything I've seen till now and a very different angle on love and romance.

As I continue this post which I had started nearly a month ago I have finished reading the four novels also.

My stance:

Twilight: Awesome. Love Edward Cullen. Cutely Romantic. Once again.

New Moon: Not awesome. Mainly because Edward is not around. Too depressing. Really.

Eclipse: Once again not that great. Not captivating. Not gripping. Probably because
the novelty wore off and there was nothing to keep me going.

Breaking Dawn: I actually thought that its really stupid. I mean really imprinting and all was just ludicrous! (I dint find vampires ludicrous at all.) But because it was mostly happy happy(really true love and happiness for eternity!) I guess I couldn't dislike it totally.

I would classify it as a classic if the happy ending came after the first book. Yes, agreed love forever is probably the most romantic ending imaginable. Everyone and everything is just too perfect. The way we always want it to be but yet we never get it. (Perfection is an illusion.) And this perfect ending comes at the end of the fourth book. It leaves a dreamy look in your eyes and a smile on your face. So I'm not sure why I'm still not satisfied except that I still think the happy ending was when she was human and hopelessly and truly in love with him. Nothing else really mattered. That's the point. Nothing else matters when you find that. (Darn!! I sound like a romantic don't I?? I am not one! Or not. Errmmmmm)

There was so much hype that probably I had very high expectations which is why I feel like I was let down. (I totally can't remember that totally cool, philosophical sounding opinion I had about expectations. DAMN!)

I know life is not supposed to be perfect and that is why we have books and movies with perfect endings but ah well.....

Lastly. Notwithstanding everything I said above I was totally hooked to the books and finished the entire series in less than 10 days. I was obsessed enough to dream that I was a vampire too. (I'm not proud of it. Really. (No sarcasm intended):D ) And did I mention that I still love Edward Cullen no matter what! :D
