Umm.. hello film-makers? Yeah.. You kinda missed the whole point of the plot. Kthnxbye!

Rating: 5/10 (1 December 2008)

When i first heard about the movie i was waaaay excited. finally i would be able to see all the people (even the undead) who had successfully kept me up all night reading and re-reading the series. Some places i haven't been disappointed, most i have. Honestly i would have never understood the movie if i hadn't read the book, but i had and when i saw the movie i still felt sort of incomplete. First the cast- Rob made an excellent Edward, i doubted it before but now I'm in love. Rosalie (Reed), Esme(Reaser), Carlise(Facinelli), Jasper(Rathbone), Emmet(Lutz), Charlie(Burke), Mike(Welch) and Jessica(Kendrick) were PERFECT! It's like they practically jumped out of the book. Jacob(Lautner) would have been perfect too.. except for that horrible wig.. Bella? Stewart is a wonderful actor but Bella is NOT supposed to be so scared all the time. The rest of the cast was alright.
The movie only concentrated on Bella and Edward's relationship. None of the Cullen's stories are told, especially Carlisle's, which is a very important part of the whole plot. Twilight is also about the struggle of being a "vegetarian" vampire. the only struggle we see is Jasper looking like someone is pinching him and Edward occasionally closing his nose. And hello, have the film-makers not understood the whole concept of Edward-REALLY-thirsts-for-Bella's-Blood? because i can guarantee that if a person thirsts for someone's blood, they would NOT be able to make-out like that. which is also the point because it takes Edward a lot of time to really be able to do that.
i liked the improvisation on many scenes but they missed out on many important parts to incorporate the Bella-Edward moments. AGAIN, Twilight is NOT only about the two of them.
James(Gigandet) was AMAZINGLY real. Loved him and Laurent too. But Victoria? No true twilight fan would ever be able to accept the Blonde(Victoria has flaming hair!), cute Lefevre as Victoria.
The movie is good and a person with basic Twilight knowledge might like it, but to the addicted it's like an insult.
