Now, first things first...NO STARTING A FLAME WAR OVER THIS.
I have made this thread to get people's opinions on the movies (and/or the books).
I don't want to see any hateful bashing or any of that stupidity. If you don't like them and/or the hype about them, say so, but have a good reason, not just "omg good vampires?! it's so stupid! oh he's all 'I love you, I must protect you, but you shouldn't be with me', what a wimp!". Good reasons are perfectly fine.
I've only read the first book which I got for Christmas last year, so I can't say much on the first movie or New Moon (which comes out Friday at 12:01 a.m. here). I loved Twilight. It's just my kind of book. It's what I enjoy reading. I can't wait to read the next ones, but unfortunately, I'll have to wait until Christmas for that (they're on my Christmas list and so is the first movie, so I can't just go out and buy them). I made a promise to myself (when I finally learned that they were making the movies, which was after I got Twilight for Christmas so I had no idea) that I'd read the books before I saw the movies that they went along with.
I agree that Twilight is pretty overhyped, but it doesn't really bother me because I don't let the arguments about it get to me. Mainly my response is, "If you like it, good for you, it's nice to have merchandise and everything for something you like/love. If you don't like it, don't pay attention to it and whine about it just because you weren't smart enough to ignore it." I ignore the hype about horror movies and other things I don't like.
So...what are your opinions?
