Rushed

Rating: 5/10 (25 November 2008)

All in all, I felt that the movie was rushed. Yea, it hit the high points for the most part, but too many of the subtleties were left out. This is by no means the worst book to movie adaptation, that spot is reserved for the horrid Harry Potter movies and the White Fang movie (which didn't share anything with the book except the title and a wolf!). It was OK. I've been hooked on the Twilight series since page one, and in turn have hooked many others. It was better than I expected and Edward and Bella grew on me as the movie went. But for the movie being 2 hours, I really just felt like it hopped from one major point to another without explaining the relationships between the characters. If you hadn't read the book you might get confused (I explained a lot of it to my wife who hadn't read it but wants to now), but you'll get the gist of it. And basically, that's all it was. The gist of the major points of the book. In one word, RUSHED.
