First off. I am not a Twilight Fan, I personally don't "feel" the characters, I read all the books because a friend of mine said they were really good. I found the first two books less than average and the last two books improved. I have read that most think the last books are the worst but as an avid reader of romance, horror, and fantasy I enjoyed those the most.
Now for my movie review...with what they had to work with the movie wasn't as god awful or bad as I imagined and I was surprised to find myself entertained in the same average way I was entertained reading the book series. They followed the book very closely unlike almost every other book to movie I have seen. The makeup was still pretty awful and I hope in the third movie they figure out a way to make the vampires look more like vamps and less like drag queens. One thing I hoped they would do to the movies was create some chemistry with the leads instead of the dry obsessiveness of the book Edward and Bella. I don't understand and am quite confused how anyone can think there is any lovey dovey romance with these characters. I mean I can't think of one scene in the whole movie/book series that I can go aww they really are made for each other! (if someone can point me to that part I think I missed it...)
I read lots of complaints about the acting and there was some parts of bad acting but again I don't find them completely at fault since SM cheesed out their book counterparts.
Overall I gave this movie a 7. 3 for the story, 1 for making it a better movie than the book, 1 for keeping me interested for 2 hours, and 2 for good luck since it got a lot of one stars and to be fair it didn't deserve it. Sure it wasn't a blockbuster but it wasn't as bad as people are making it out to be.
Oh and on a side note the worst part of the movie was when they are at the movies and..omg that was so dumb. :)
