Twilight Series Question

Should I read the series before watching the movie or after?

I'm interested in the story, but I'm not sure what the most enjoyable way to get started is.
Should I read the series before watching the movie or after?

depends on what you like better.. books or movies. If you choose one, then the other will not seem as good

I would read the book first. The book is always better than the movie, not just in the case of twilight. I enjoy reading books so much more when I don't know what is going to happen. Besides, its always better to imagine it yourself before the movie ruins it for you :)

well, i watched the movie first, and i thought it was great. the next day i went and bought twilight and read it. I reread, then went to see the movie again with my friend, and it wasn't as great, because i knew what was coming, and i was complaining about bits they didn't put in. I would vote see movie first, for once, but it's up to you.

Seriously i am book nerd, so yeah you might think i say read the books. But if you havent started, then go and watch the movie first. Simple as that, you might be dissapointed otherwise, cause you have your own images about what people look like, what they talk like....things like that. if you cant wait though till all movies come out, then read the books and then just dont expect too much from the movies [and no, i am not a hater.- i loved the movie]

I read the twilight books first but that was before the movie was even announced, but if i had to go back and re-do that again I would still read the books first because the movie doesnt go into depth of whats happening as much as the book does and you get to enjoy the book and the movie more this way :)

Movie first.

1. So that when you read the book you can remember scenes from the movie, and it makes it easier to follow

2. If you read the book first then the movie will be a dissapointment, as the books are SOOO much better.

WATCH THE MOVIE FIRST!!! Since the books are better than the movie, if you see the movie first and you really like it (you'll really like it just like me!) and start the books after, you'll be even happier because the books are better than the movie!!! In other words, if you read the books first and watch the movie after, since the books are better you may be disappointed (just a little bit) because you expected something equal to the books... I know I'm not clear but anyways! All I'm saying is WATCH THE MOVIE, THEN READ THE BOOKS! I did that and I enjoyed it all!!!

i watched the film first, and loved it, and then i bought all the books and read them in a few weeks, and i prefere the books to the film - the books are amazing! but if i coulkd go back i would have read the books first, because its harder to imagine the main characters yourself, after you have already watched the actors. It's better to have your own imagination of the main characters first i think =]

I read the books first, but I took my friend to see the movie before she read the books and she got into it straight away. If you are a visual person i would go and watch the movie, i like to do that when a new book to screen adaptation comes out cos you can visualise the places and characters better. Also, if you see the movie first you wont be as disappointed.
Overall, you should do what you think.

It was SO nice to read the book afterwards, all the small details got explained and the twilight universe that I already loved I came to love even more.

In that way you wont get disappointed by the movie either.

tiz said:
I enjoy reading books first (before the movies) with any series. Typiclly (and in the case of the Twilight Series,) the books are much better then the movies because of all the details. It's also better to read the book first because it's fun picturing the characters and later comparing them to the movie. If you watch the movie you have no imagination for what everything looks like.

Reading the books first allows for more creativity and more enjoyment out of reading the books. (When reading first you can't put the books down because you want to know what happens.)

I would advise you to read the book first because the story is explained much more (but that's just because they have to condense it down for the film) also because the characters go into much more depth especially Bella. Both the book and the film are really good, but you really do look forward to seeing the movie after reading the book, well I did anyway!=D
But it's your choice whichever you pick.=D

It depends on you, because if you're a movie sort of person, you can start on the movie first then the book. But then when you start the book first you would have the facts in the movie and the more you can understand the movie.

But in some movies, they cut some important parts and if you start with movie you wouldn't enjoy the book much because you would like predict what is going to happen and there's not much excitement in that. So I suggest that you read the book first.

Definitely the book series. Or at least the first book. The movie isn't even particularly good. Any movie with Edward Cullen is automatically the best movie in the world (O.K, serious contradiction), but they were working with a low budget, some low grade actors (by that I don't mean they're not good, just not famous)...Anyway, you gotta read the book first.

The books first so you will understand the movie better. that way you won't be watching trying to figure out why the characters are doing what they do. but, you might not like the movie afteer the books because they don't go by the book exactly, which is annoying if you fall in love wth the books. When I saw the trailer for New Moon, I go t a little aggravated with the way they had manipulated some of the scenes. it will be more interesting to you if you invision the characters, etc. in your mind before you try to adapt to the movie. you may not like the actors they chose for the characters. for example, I was not really crazy about Kristen Stewart as Bella and I'm still not, but its up to you.

omg before! i can never stress enough that the imagination is the most amazing thing ever. but the mind is smart. so if u watch the movie first your mind will always subconciously carry the images from the movie, so then, the way you c the book will almost be like a fog over how ur imagination would hav originally seen the characters and the plot

I know that many people would say read the book first. I disagree with this for one main reason. If you read the book first, you get these images in your head that are ruined when you see the movie so if you watch the movie first, you can picture the actors of the movie and just have the images there so it doesn't ruin it for you. I watched the movie first and it didn't reck the book at all for me.

Well, this is my own opinion...not sure if anyone has put it or not :S But, oh well. Well, I think you should definately read the books first! I read Twilight a week before the film came out in cinemas then read the rest after. :) & trust me it really helped! Sure I was a little disapointed and kept thinking about them skipping parts and stuff but oh well...you can't fit everything in it. But, it really helped me too see what the setting was like and the characters looked like before I read the book, so I could make an image in my head while I was reading. Plus, I went to go see it with my Friends and one of them had never read Twilight and the hole time through the film she kept asking me about stuff 'cause she didn't really understand. So, I had to explain it to her -.- which was pretty annoying!!! lmao. So, definately read it before the film. :) & it was a tad boring at the start but keep reading it gets AMAZING! aha. Enjoy. :)

i must admit i saw the movie first and i made me not want to read the first book, so what i did was i went out and bought all of them from first through fourth and broke down and read it from start to finish... it made the movie better to me because when i watch it seemed like the whole relationship between Bella and Edward went a little fast, but after reading the book i was able pick out certain things ( of course) but i was also able to visualize (through the book) why their relationship grew like it did... so for me watching the movie first didn't hurt but helped me get into the books themselves because after watching the movie it made me want to know how it ended for them.

Im starting to think that Watching the Movie will be best...
I never read the book before I watched it and was gripped by it from the second the dialogue started...I then bought the DVD and quickly became obsessed while I waited for my Book Box set to arrive...20 days later...
I then Rushed to read Twilight.. and loved every second of it.. I even enjoyed the differences because it added depth and another dimention for me, because there were mini stories within the story,And so it was exciting and I loved every page...And I couldnt wait to read New Moon...
But now I have...Thank goodness I stopped there,
Because now i know what will happen in the Movie... Which saddens me because I am a Movie Fanatic, and I love being totally engrossed in a Movie, and feeling all the feelings and confusion and pase that goes along with it... But when you know how it will end...doesnt that spoil it for you?
So... What I am doing is waiting for New Moon - I will watch it - and then decide if I will finnishe the books before Watching the rest of the movies...

Somehow I honestly believe WATCHING these specific movies first is the Right way to do this... Then go deeper...Read it at leisure...

And besides, Its so much nicer to have Images of Edward Cullen in my head (of Robert Pattinson) than to have imagined him any other way...
And the Soundtrack is so captivating, I can hear it in my head while reading it...and long after...

I would definitely say watch the movies first. Seeing as Twilight is still the only one out first, watch the Twilight and New Moon movies first then go ahead and read the Saga books.
It will only increase your love for the Saga!
When you read the book first then see the movie, the movie usually turns out as a huge disappointment compared to the book.

The books rock and you always wish the book never ends but the movies don't give you the same feeling. I watched Twilight first and I fell in love with Rob Pattinson as Edward and when I read the book after I thought Kristen wasn't as warm and sweet as the Bella in the book so I was disappointed.And then I had difficulty imagining my own Edward and Bella,actually the whole cast except Jacob. Oh and my Rosalie was somewhat closer to Claudia Schiffer in looks. You should bear in mind that everything is so minimized in the movies.The really romantic scenes are cut short.

Read the book before the movie so you will get a better understanding of what's going on, especiallly if you're seeing New Moon and haven't seen Twilight (but who hasn't seen it, right?). If you haven't read the story, the main details won't be understood, and you'll practically miss the main part.

It would also be a good idea to keep on reading the series afterward so when the other movies come, this won't happen again. Oh, BTW, June 30, 2010= Eclipse, BABY!

ok~ i would defiantly read the books first, even if your not a reader. you will end up getting so caught up in the story they will be hard to put down. in my opinion, while the movies are defiantly GREAT they left so much of the books out of them, & i understand why they had to do that cause of time restrictions etc. but still. you need to read the books. my friend wanted to go & see new moon. i had not even read the books or seen twilight. so i went along, totally not having any idea of the story. took me a while to get into new moon. but once i did i loved it & strait after the movie went & bought the twilight dvd. watched that, then my sister mentioned she had the books. so after watching both movies i then read the books. i understood the story so much better once i finished them. i did everything backwards, which i regret. so, my advice to you would be to DEFIANTLY read the books first.. do that BEFORE any tv show or movie comes out of that series your reading!

I watched Twilight first, and am really happy I did. Reading Twilight (and each subsequent book) is much more enjoyable when you have faces and voices to put with the characters. Also, I found I was able to better absorb little details in Twilight I might have otherwise missed had I been trying to piece together the larger story. I should mention though, the other books are much better than the movies so my recommendation is to watch Twilight, then read the entire series. Hope this helps :)

Most people who love twilight, only love robbert and taylor. I don't. I love the books.

If you want to, please, first the books! the movie makes a whole difference. The movie don't makes you think, it makes you brainless. To eveyone who only loves the twilight mvies, Think about what you like. Do you like robbert pattinson, or do you love the storyline? If you can answer this question with the truth, by saying, I love the storyline, than at least you're heathy. Sure.. Robbert is hot, but hotness of a man is not something that should be the basics of if you like a serie or not.

I, personally, watched the movies before reading the books. However, in my opinion, the books are just a little better, so I think you would be able to enjoy the series more that way. If you enjoy the books, you'll love the movies.

I would watch it first - I always like reading the book after because it feels like going behind the scenes in a way because you learn more about all the characters - it's like watching deleted scenes in your head :)

Wow. This is hard but I would say.... The movie first. If u read the books first then it will spoil the movie and all u will have to say are all the mistakes the movies made.

It really just depends on you. Do you normally read a book series first or watch the films/TV series based on them? If you read the books first, do you find yourself getting irritated by any parts which get omitted or changed? Does seeing the films first affect your ability to imagine the characters and scenes your own way?

I read the first book then saw the first film before reading the rest of series. I enjoyed them that way, but I think I'd have enjoyed as much if I'd read all the books first, or watched all the films first. They stay pretty true to the books (or true enough not to irritate me, anyway, unlike certain other series). The films tell the story well enough that I think people could follow it without needing to read the books first. But then there's one scene which is changed and I think the change was more shocking and had more impact for me because I'd read that part of the book and was expecting it to stick to canon (trying to be vague so that if you read the books first, you might be shocked in the same way).
