I don’t think it’s fair to say you don’t like the movie because it wasn’t like, or didn’t live up to the expectations of the book. No matter how well a movie is done it’s never going to completely translate to anything, movies, stage whatever. As far as it being a movie I thought it was great. Of course the acting is going to be a little cheesy and what have you it’s based on a young adult series AND the guy is a freakin’ vampire! I took the movie for what it was and loved every minute of it, as did the folks in my theater judging from their reactions. Sorry some of you didn’t agree…

I am so utterly disappointed. As a writer I don’t usually take the time to read teen novels, but I gave the series a chance and fell in love with it. This movie was only good for a laugh, and I’m pretty sure that was only to keep me from crying throughout it.

I’m going to see it Sunday b/c tonight and tomorrow are sold out. I’m honestly not expecting Oscar worthy performances, but nothing is ever as good as the book.
Kristen Stewart has had me worried for months now. She just is NOT Bella.

I loved the books so I was worried about the movie b/c I NEVER like the movie adaptation of books but I LOVED this movie! I would definitely see it again and plan to buy it when it comes out on DVD. Yes, some things were changed and there were some flaws – some of the special effects and makeup could have been done a little better – but for me it was about the relationship and the chemistry between Bella and Edward and I think Rob and Kristen did an excellent job with that! For me, the movie evoked the same fluttery, first love type memories/feelings that the book did.

Jenna, regarding the relationship in the movie being too short, remember in the book that there’s only a week between when Bella finds out Edward is a vampire and when the climactic ending happens. It’s the pining and mooning over each other that goes on for months. The movie just reverses it a bit, which I thought worked well, and had her finding out about him quicker but had their actual relationship appearing to go on for a few weeks or months before the climax.

I think most of the Twilight fans will like the movie so go see it with an open mind and ENJOY! :)

Obviosuly the movie isnt going to be as good as the book, come on now. Movies are never as good as the books. To put everything from the book into the movie would have made the movie waaaaay too long. There we some parts in the movie where I was disappointed, but thats part of life. I’m glad there were moments of humor in the movie because if there wasnt it would have been entirely too serious and people might have gotten bored.
People have their own opinions, obviously, and I respect that, but in my opinion I didnt think the movie was terrible. Kristin Stewart did not ruin the movie for me and I thought she played Bella well. Rob Pattinson if beautiful, and I liked that they made Edwards dry humor come out a little more. Yes, some of the stares and looks given in the movie were a little ridiculous, but who cares.
I think everyone should go see the movie. I dont think it’s quite as terrible as some others are saying.

I thought that there was a lot that they left out of the movie, and the part that lead up to the relationship was entirely too short and it skipped through it really fast. However, I like it tho overall. Definitely doesn’t compare to the books but I thought it was a cute, good movie.

I read all the books and love them. I even re-read to catch things I’d missed. I was all excited to go see the movie tonight, but after reading these comments, I’m really nervous….:(
