Hate to say it but it sucked

Rating: 2/10 (13 March 2009)

As much as I would like to say this movie was good, I can't.
I absolutely loved the books and was really excited for this movie to come out.I was very disappointed after I saw it, to put it simply, it sucked. I never have liked Kristen Stewart because in my opinion she is a terrible actor. For this movie all she had to do is basically play a somewhat awkward girl who falls madly in love. She wasn't even capable of this. The scene in the hospital bed was painful to watch when he says he's going to leave and she kind of stutters was horrible. I love Robert Pattinson but he is not a good actor either. When he reacts to her walking into the classroom with the fan blowing on her everyone in the theater burst out laughing. Its understandable he would be very uncomfortable but the way he acted it out was awful. The scene in the forest when he is showing how fast, strong, etc. he is was also a display of his lack of acting skills. The directing was also very bad, Catherine Hardwicke directed this movie as if it was an indie film. Even though it didn't have a big budget it still should have been filmed as if it were a big budget movie. the sometimes shaky camera or weird camera angles really bothered me while watching this film. Overall the cons outweighed the pros by a ton.
