Very disappointed

Rating: 4/10 (22 November 2008)

I gotta say I literally became so enthralled in the books that i sat in my bed for an entire weekend reading, only taking a break to eat or go the bathroom. so when the movie finally came out i was beyond excited. well after the movie i left very disappointed. I feel like the cast was excellent and what they had to perform wasn't at all good.People have been knocking the cast who i think are all great actors. They only perform what they are given and i don't think what they were given was at all good. I feel like they added unnecessary parts to the movie and kept out things that would have been more important for the viewers to know for the future movies. The Cullen family should have been more important in the movie. They only got a couple of minutes in the movie. The whole James clan killing people completely not needed. I think the director spent more time on the scenery than the love story it is suppose to be.I don't think the director got across the urgency and terror of Bella having to leave, didn't quite capture the love Bella and Edward actually have or the importance of the family and how they came to be. The director opted to add things that weren't important like all the scenery shots to cut things like the telling of the families' past. All in all I was picturing the book being told on screen knowing that there would be things taken out for time and need but i didn't imagine they would do such a bad job. I compare it to watching the Davinci Code or happy potter after number 2. The books were great and the movies sucked. Im starting to feel like there are just some books you cant recreate on the big screen and i think twilight is going to be one of them.
