Not as Good as the Book!

Rating: 8/10 (21 November 2008)

The movie was good but not as good as the book which I completely expected. It felt a bit rushed and it left a lot out, but I understand how hard it is to squeeze 500 plus pages in to a two hour movie.
The movie really didn't touch on any of the supporting characters, which was a disappointment since some of those characters are my favorites and make up a big part of the books. I think all the actors did a great job, but it would have been nice to see more of the Cullen family and the "human" friends.
I like the look and feel of the movie. It had a kind of cold gloomy look. The locations were beautiful, but I am from the Pacific Northwest and I am slightly biased to the lush green landscapes here.
I enjoyed the movie, but as with all book adaptations I was hoping for much more.
