Kristen and Rob made this movie

Rating: 7/10 (22 November 2008)

this movie is surprisingly a lot better than what i thought it would be.i read some reviews before i went, and i was kinda afraid.but i went in and enjoyed it very much.Robert pattinson did a great job as Edward, and so did Kristen Stewart as Bella.they both captured their characters from the book.now, i'm not saying this is an Oscar nominee movie because it isn't.i thought the screenplay was pretty cheesy at times,hardwicke could of done a little better directing, and most of the acting from the human high school kids was bad half the time but that was probably because of hardwicke and Rosenberg(screenplay writer).but Kristen and rob made up for that.they mostly made this movie.they both did a fantastic job bringing their characters to life.they also have great chemistry together.every time they were together in the film, it was intense.don't get me wrong, the actors playing the cullens did a great job, especially peter facinelli as carlisle.i truly think facinelli is the perfect actor for carlisle.he was really believable as the father figure of the cullens.i just wish he had more screen time.billy burke also did a fantastic job portraying Charlie.he did his character true justice.Taylor lautner did a lot better job playing Jacob than i thought he would do too.also, the actors playing the nomadic vampires did a good job overall, nothing spectacular but good.now, hardwicke, for the most part, stayed close to the storyline from the best-selling novel, but, for you twilight die hard fans, don't expect this film to be page for page or chapter for chapter.just enjoy it for what it is.i do think that they should get another screenplay writer for the sequels, but other than that, i am looking forward to them.
