I'm upset with the very distant portrayal of the book. I know it's only "inspired" by the book but why take such a widely recognized/celebrated saga when your not going to represent it accurately. They chaneged Bella froma strong, silent sufferer into a scared pouting teenager. They really didn't show the development of the relationship between Edward and Bella well either. There were some string performances and with different screenwriting and some touch ups i'd give the sequel a chance.

as a movie it isn't completely horrible but it does feel like one is reading the 'cliff-notes' and not the novel. it just really lacked the emotional intensity of the novel. bella here seemed just too distant and edward well you wonder what he sees in her???

To be honest it could have been longer and I would have liked to see more scenes with Bella and Edward but in the end it was really great all I can say is I hope New moon is longer and if so I'll be first to buy tickets. I also plan to see Twilight again and buy the DVD but I do hope there are a lot of deleted scenes.(I also hope they have a bigger budget for New Moon)

Great movie to accompany the book. if you didn't read the book then i can't see the movie being that great. there were some choppy scenes as a result of trying to fit everything from the book into the movie. there is definite room for improvement for new moon but overall some scenes, the crucial ones, were amazing. i thought the characters chosen were absolutely perfect. Edward was exactly how i pictured him. verdict= room for improvement but none the less delivered.
