Disappointed...

So everyone knows that I'm a complete Twilight freak. I love these books! But yesterday as I was surfing around on the web I found the trailer for the new movie coming out this month. I have to admit that I'm already a little disappointed. I'm disappointed in the choice for Edward #1. He is so not what I envisioned Edward to look like. Of course the only thing that comes close to what I envisioned as Edwards perfection was Brad Pitt circa Legends of the Fall, minus the long flowing locks of deliciousness. But the guy they chose just doesn't do it for me. I have no idea who I would have chosen myself, but it definitely would not have been him. #2 though it was just a few brief clips I was disappointed with the caliber of the acting. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that in all the hype of FINALLY seeing this book come to life before my eyes that I will be able to overlook that flaw. The acting that I saw was a bit reminiscent of the earlier Keanu Reeves roles and we all know how great that was (I can't believe I managed to type that without gagging). But anyway, movies based on my favorite books have always fallen well below my expectations. So maybe with this one, with my expectations already so low, I will be pleasantly surprised. Here's to hoping anyway.
