I LOVE the Twilight book series! I am not impressed by the movie AT ALL! First of all, the characters were bad actors in general. The actors who played Edward and Bella did not portray like they were in the books. In the book, Edward Cullen was mysterious, charming, intelligent and spoke with early 20th century eloquence. In the movie he was awkward and creepy. Bella was a "Plain Jane" type both in the book and movie, however her personality was definitely not portrayed accurately. The movie left out so many of the best parts of the book! It seemed rushed. One minute Edward is a freak, the next Bella is in love with him. It combined several of the scenes where the two got better acquainted with one another into one awkward, unrealistic and rushed scene. It didn't even portray the "meadow scene" right and that was the inspiration for the book! The scene in the trees was weird too, because that never happened in the book and it didn't make sense to me, because Edward's character was so protective of Bella. I just don't see him taking her to tree tops... Anyway...I truly hope that the next movie will be pleasantly and surprisingly more accurate...but I doubt it. I am truly shocked that Stephenie Meyer was satisfied with this adaption of her books...
