pretty good for what they had to work with

Rating: 8/10 (13 March 2009)

I am a huge twilight fan and I must say that while it's not the greatest movie in the world with some of the parts being a little over dramatic and cheesy, it still did pretty well. Many people who haven't read the books don't understand why Edward acts as he does, so they may think Pattinson overacted his part but I think he did it just right. The cast they picked for the characters were well chosen..I can't say I'm disappointed with any of them and kristen stewart plays the perfect bella..just how I imagined bella to be. Overall pretty good with some scenes being corny but what romance, especially one involving a vampire, isn't going to be from time to time? And of course it's true that most movies based on a book almost never measure up to it because it's limited, so it is difficult to compare.
