the book and the movie

Rating: 5/10 (22 June 2009)

I think this movie was not as good as the book. The beginning was good. But some things scenes have been put in a different way, which made it a bit boring. But then the baseball scene was just too good with lots of effects to add to it. The blue tint used in the movie gave a feeling that something's lurking around, and it was perfect for a vampire movie to give chills and the sound effects were good enough to make the viewers expect something to happen. But then for a romance, I feel that it doesn't suit that well. Some of the scenes- well I think the actors could've done better than that. It was obvious at some places, that they were acting. And like usual, this is a movie based on a novel so many parts of the story/novel has been deleted... An then there was less idealization of the main vampire in the movie and therefore, not like the book. The ending was just too perfect and make the first-time viewers especially the ones who haven't read the book, think that danger is still lurking and has not come to an end.
