Loved it!

Rating: 9/10 (3 December 2008)

Personally, I loved the movie. I loved the actors. I loved the music. I loved the chemistry between Robert and Kristen and especially "the kiss".
My only complaints are cakey makeup on Carlisle and Jasper, a few overly jerky camera scenes (deer scene), and better transitions between scenes (i.e. the end of the meadow scene to the next scene).
The only thing other thing that concerned me was that the movie seemed a little choppy. I kept thinking about the scenes that were missing or altered from the book. And, I wondered if anyone who hadn't read the books before would get it. I rewatched it a second time and, I have to say, it was MUCH smoother the second time. And, I loved it even more! I knew the film was low budget so the basic special effects didn't bother me.
The casting was really good except for maybe Solomon Trimble as Sam. He looks the part but needs a few more lessons on saying his lines.
I'm very much looking forward to New Moon especially with the increased budget, the Italy scenes, more chemistry between Robert and Kristen, a little more Jacob, and the introduction of the werewolves.
