I have read all the books of this saga. This movie was a very big dissapointment. Now i know that no one should ever expect that a movie will be the book to a tee, but Stephanie Meyer is a wonderful writer and gave soo much detail, that it is really a shame that the writers didnt use that to their advantage. For instance medow scean was a very big part of this book and they didnt even play it right so i dont see how they are going to use it in New Moon when again it is a vital part of the book. Bella was horriably acted, she wasnt the same in anyways at all except for the qutoes from the book she said she was much to passive had no emotion and was a huge shame. Rosalie was very convincing an

The book itself was spectacular, intense and intimate. The movie, not so much. The only reason the movie was half decent is it finally gave an image to attach to the book. The movie had potential, if only they had spent more time on the actual relationship between Edward and Bella. Should've included some of the 'little' scenes in the book that were heart stoppingly adorable.

This movie was a hard film to make, considering the books were so amazing. However, I think they did a good job and that it was a well done film. I think most of the characters were cast well. As for Edward, that is such a hard role to play and I think he pulled through and did a good job. The only thing I think needed improvment was the fact that they never really seemed " utterly in love" it wasn't enough to grasp there obsession with eachother.
