Rating: 2/10 (26 March 2009)

Don't even bother seeing this. I know it's already out on DVD but don't waste your time or money. Let me just start by saying that I'm a HUGE fan of the book series. Unfortunately the movie didn't stick to the plot, and added stupid scenes and bad lines that the characters never said. However I could have lived with this, if the rest of the movie wasn't just as horrible! I think they did a very poor job at casting. The Cullen family was decent. Carlisle, Emmett, Jasper and Alice all seemed about right, but Edward was awkward and in my opinion became that much less attractive as soon as he opened his mouth. Also, Rosaline was supposed to be gorgeous, and she doesn't stand out at all in the film. Other than the Cullens, the kids were annoying, Jacob looked like he was 14, and his father was just a joke. Charlie just seemed all wrong too. Not to mention the special effects just plain sucked. I can't say enough bad things about this film. It was just done all wrong and it makes me wonder if the director or producers even read the books. I'm thoroughly disappointed. Thumbs way down for this one. :(
