Very good for being a movie made from several hundred pages of book

Rating: 10/10 (22 November 2008)

*SPOILERS* I watched the midnight showing of Twilight on Thursday night, and I was very happy with it. I know that a lot of people complained about how awkward it was between Bella and Edward, but they were pretty awkward through almost the entire book. The awkward parts were hilarious, but that's because it's how love is. It's insanely uncomfortable and awkward, and laughable if you're not the one experiencing it. It was brilliant that as the movie progressed, the chemistry between them got better and they were perfect with each other at the end. It's important to remember that the entire time they were together, Edward wanted to kill her.
I didn't like Carlisle's makeup. It was incredibly obvious and distracting. They could have done better.
Also, there were times when the Cullens were in the sunshine and weren't shimmering. It happened a lot when Edward was in Bella's bedroom.
The movie did move very quick, but did anybody really want to sit through 4 hours of movie? It was condensed very well considering the book is several hundred pages long.
