I honestly enjoyed it despite my initial hesitations. Although I must add that it would probably be in your best interest to read the book first so you can relate better. But other than a few gimmicky parts like showing the speed of a vampire, it was nontheless true to the book and the performances by the main actors were pretty damn good. Will see it again :)

On its own the movie was just 'OK'. It passed the time and it kept your attention. However.. If you do not like this movie you probably have not read the books. There were many subtle things that you would have only gotten if you had read them like Edwards reaction when he first met Bella, Alice's comment on the way the Bella smells etc. I would say that this movie is a good companion to the Books but on its own.. meh

WOW! The casting was perfect, especially Robert Pattinson. He portrayed Edward Cullen perfectly (it helps that he is absolutely gorgeous). Obviously not as good as the book, but that's a given.. still an exciting, entrancing movie that had me hooked! Can't wait until the second one.

It was SO awful!! Acting was terrible, definitely not enough chemistry between Kristen Stewart And Rob Pattinson. Even if I overlook the details of the book, it STILL wasn't even a good movie!!! If you liked it, then that's great, because then you wouldn't be feeling the crushing disappointment most of the people in the theater tonight felt D:

AMAZING!!!!!! Robert Pattinson did an amazing job as Edward..and i love him more than ever! It obviously wasnt exactly the same as the book...but they fit all of the most important things in! It also had quite a lot of funny moments. And if you've read the books including midnight sun)...you'll probly notice a bunch of little things that someone who hasnt read teh book would!

Just saw the movie. still love the story to death but wow, TERRIBLE acting. I understand 2 hours is not enough time to squeeze everything in but it was way to choppy and they left out to much. the rest of the cast was funny and it had its moments but i think they rushed it. it had amazing potential, but the effort just wasnt there. very disapointing, but maybe they'll do a better job the next time around?

The book was excellent but the movie was subpar. It was akward, had bad acting, and didn't tell the story fully or properly. Don't let that movie stop you from reading the book. The movie's only saving grace was Robert Pattison's good looks. Dissapointing.
