This movie is awful. Pretty and well shot but terribly performed. Character development is moot when it is clear that the actors were hired for their looks alone. I was so distracted by Kristen's inability to portray emotions and for Robert's incessant blinking throughout the film that I was embarrassed sitting next to all the people I made watch it with me. The books were enchanting and I couldn't wait for the movie. Wonder how much pull Meyer actually had on the film. I was so disappointed that I don't even want this POS in my collection gathering dust with other, way better titles. Just sad.

I think it's a beautiful story about overcoming any and all obstacles/differences to be with the one you love (even immortality). I think the book gives a better credence to the development of the bond between Edward and Bella. The movie rushes their relationship but what love story on the silver screen doesn't? Edward's passion for Bella is breathtaking. Clean, no sex, little profanity. I only own a few movies and this one is definitely a keeper!

Great movie about young love without all the sex scenes.

Awkward. And awkward. But mostly awkward. The screenplay sounds like it was written by a 13 year old girl. Try to count all the "like"s "huh"s and awkward pauses and you will fail. In defense of the film, it's my understanding that the books are that way. So, if you liked the books and/or are a 13 year old girl (maybe those two things are one in the same) you should love this movie. If you just want to see what all the ruckus is about, watch one of the later films. At least they have some action scenes.
