The person who wrote that imprinting is pedophilia... WTH! ARE YOU DOING READING TWILIGHT ANYWAYS????? It's not real, and it's in a book, so I suggest you deal with it! Imprinting is a natural werewolf habit, and it's what Stephenie Meyer decided to write about, so I don't think that you should put your two cents in. (comment is in page 2) But anyways, the movie was great! I absolutely loved it!...
Although I don't really appreciate people bashing on the actors this much, like some people said, it was hard for Robert to be edward since everybody has a different view on them. Just cut them some slack, I think they did an amazing job, and if you didn't think so, don't bother going to see the

I am a total fan of the Twilight series books (the fourth was a little off the wall and too reminicient of Anne Rice's Taltos)but I was disappointed in the movie. Why can't a movie be as good as a book? Eragon, Gone with the Wind, Golden Compass, Harry Potter are only a few I can name right now that were just as good in either book or movie format. I think they downplayed the whole Bella/Edward connection to the audience and could have been written better.

I have to admit that I'm not crazy about Kristen Stewerts acting but I have hopes that she (and everyone) grow into there characters. I thought at FIRST that the begining, the introductions to the charaters and the love interest progression was rushed... HOWEVER, then I realized that the movie is given, generally, a 1.5 to 2 hour run time (especailly because of the main age group of the audience) before people start getting ansy, a BOOK on the other hand has all the time in the world, to just add another chapter and give the reader a better idea of each person and how the protagonist feels towards them. I am in no way disappointed with the movie, it's not exactly how I pictured scenes in my

I thought the movie was pretty good, it was probably the first time I read a book and went to see the movie for it and I was not disippointed. They didn't do it exactly like the book, the book was way better, but the movie was still really good.

I'm not sure if reading the book before seeing the movie helped or hindered. I absolutely loved the book which of course gave me great expectations for the movie to live up to, but I'm not sure I could have easily followed the movie had I not read the book first. It was pretty jumpy with the scenes and it felt rushed especially the relationship between Bella and Edward. I realize it's a 500 page book condensed to a 2 hour movie on a budget, but come on! That's the story, right? The budding and building of their love. I thought the actors did fairly well but the direction was scattered. The scenery was spectacular when Bella and Edward were hauling ass up trees and through the forests; I def

There was not enough emphasis on developing the intense connection between Bella and Edward. When Bella declares that she loves Edward, I was thinking "how? you've barely interacted yet!". There were many scenes true to the book and the last half was better than the first but it definitely could've been done better. Kristen stuttered and blinked excessively while Robert's facial expressions sometimes caused giggles versus intense empathy for his suffering...

I loved this movie with a passion! I thought they did an amazing job with the acting. Robert Pattinson was perfect. He played Edward soo good, all his emotions were so well acted. You can really tell when he is confused, angry, upset and happy. I think Robert Pattinson did amazingly in this movie. Oh and it also helps that he is THE MOST INCREDIBLY DROP DEAD GORGEOUS, MAKE YOU WANT TO THROW UP BECAUSE OF HIS GOOD LOOKS MAN ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH!!!
I LOVED TWILIGHT !!! <3
