This movie is actually kind of good

Rating: 7/10 (28 November 2011)

The first time I saw this movie by myself, I did not really enjoy it because I kept looking for things that were in the book, like the part where Bella decided to truly go to college and not become a vampire for a few years, and felt that leaving that out actually changed the flavor of the movie.
However, watching the movie a second time with my kids (who I was screening the movie for the first time I saw it), I no longer had any unmet expectations and actually enjoyed watching this film.
I really think they should have considered making this movie more of an adult film to do the book justice and probably could have made the credits Volturi scene a little less campy, and I am still wondering where the psychic body guards are that in the book are always behind the Volturi, but no director yet has chosen to show...
