Anyone not read Twilight before seeing the movie?

I was not aware of the books until like a week before the movie came out. I had been seeing the commercials thought it looked good. I've always like vampire movies.

So I bought the book the next day (after reading all the wiki crap :( ) I spoiled the whole series.

 I loved it anyways.

 

I seen that 12 of you read this and didn't reply to make fun of me. Thank you!

Re: Anyone not read Twilight before seeing the movie?

  • My sister had been on me to read them.  I finally gave in the week before Thanksgiving and have never looked back.

    I am glad i got into it later.  I dont know how the original fans wait so long between the books.  GAW!

  • I saw the movie first out of boredom. Then I was like, well WTF and had a million questions, so DH bought me all 4 books.

    Not knowing the series before I saw the movie really kind of ruined the first time. They never even say they love each other in the movie. I had to read the books right away so I could see the movie again and actually enjoy it.

    It was way hard to wait for each book to come out. I honestly don't know how I did it. I think I filled my time with  school and fanfic.

  • I was like you. I hadn't heard of the series until right before the movie came out. after the movie, I couldn't wait to read all the books. I am glad that I hadn't yet, because I am not good at waiting. I am also glad in a way that I saw the movie first because then, I didn't have high expectations of it and risk disappointment. I got to appreciate the movie for what it was without having the experience spoiled.

     Ditto.  (I think I'm going to see the movie a second time to see if it makes more sense...and to drool over Edward)

  • I read the book before the movie.  I seen the movie and was disapointed.  THen i went to see it again and it was better the 2nd time becasue i didnt pick it apart the 2nd time.  Then i seen it a 3rd and 4th (online)  lol it still makes me a little mad becasue the book is 34957938467943769769547694 times better, but hey what can you do, but hope that the next movies atre better!

  • I didn't read Twilight until after I saw the movie.  I never like movie-adaptions of books if I read the book first, so I decided to see the movie first and then read the series.  I'm glad that I did, because when I read the books I could picture the actors in their roles!

  • I can safely say that if I hadn't read the books first I would not have watched the movie.  The topic didn't interest me until I read the books and got sucked in.

    Ditto. 

    Double Ditto. And the only reason I read the books was because an IRL friend begged me to - I didn't think I would like them at all.

    Yep, me too.  I picked up Twilight b/c my brother and sister had been bugging me about it.  I didn't even buy it - I was visiting my parents and grabbed my bro's copy to read while I was there.
