I think the second and the third books are rather unnecessary, and do nothing more than dragging out the entire story. 
As for the movie adaptations, I still think Twilight is the best with a mystical kind of aura throughout the entire movie. (And I love the soundtrack!) The other three are much more commercialized and a lot more "meh".  |
Ah thank you. It sounded at first like you did not give the books a chance. It is nice to read a review that is not one of the extremes - yay or nay. I will take your advice though and still stay away from the books - unnecessarily draging out the story is not nice and doesn't work for every book.
Definitely agree on the commercializing of the last 4 movies - especially breaking up
Breaking Dawn into two parts.
P.S.
my apologies - when I wrote this post I thought

BuyMore was the same person. Thanks BuyMore for catching that.
