Saw the movie today. It was a bit disappointing, but parts of it, I enjoyed quite a bit.
Bad:
Not enough of the Cullens.
The high school kids acted more like middle school kids. Or...perhaps because I'm 32, I am not remembering well how HS kids act. LOL
Some of the acting was silly.
The direction was not good, too choppy and messy. Needed tightening up and better flow.
If I hadn't read the book first, some of the movie would be confusing.
Jacob's wig...ACK! LOL
No fangs! Barely any blood!
Too many wierd camera movements and swirliness.
Good:
Robert was good as Edward and Kristen good as Bella.
The scenery was gorgeous.
The kid playing Jasper...excellent. He said maybe 5 lines the whole movie, but his facial expressions were spot on since he was supposed to be in agony.
Dude playing Bella's dad...perfection.
The bedroom kiss...HOT.
The dream Bella had....a little blood and biting...YAY!! Vampire stuff FTW! LOL
I hope they get more money for the next one. They will need it, for those who know what I'm talking about.
Oh and get another director...PLEASE.
I'm reading New Moon right now (halfway done) and can't wait to read the other 2 and Midnight Sun.
