This is just my humble opinion...

Rating: 9/10 (30 June 2010)

I like the movie, many people like the movie... sure, most of the people who likes this movie and the first one are fans of the books I haven't read all of the books, but I still like the movies, it doesn't have the best acting ever, but you have to understand that this is not meant to be an academy award winner And what about the 4 and a half stars? I'm guessing that most of the people who gave a low rating to this movie are fans of Bela Lugosi or of those classic vampire movies, or people who thinks that vampires should wear a black coat, with long nails and big and sharp teeth, if so, this movie isn't for you but that doesn't mean you can criticize the people who likes this kind of stuff. Anyways, back to the movie... I think this one is way better than "Twilight", Chris Weitz's style fits so much better to the story than Catherine Hardwicke's, the special effects are good, not to fancy, not to fake, but good, and the story, many fans complaints that certain parts are not like the book and stuff like that... THIS IS NOT THE BOOK, THIS IS A MOVIE, like I said, I haven't read all of the books, just the first one and half of the second, and for what I've read, the movie is pretty faithful to the book, you have to understand that they have to change the story a little bit, it would be boring if we see in the movie what we already imagined while reading the book, there has to be something new. So, if you have an open mind, give it a shot, you'll probably like it, if you don't, stay away, this is not for you
