The book was better

Rating: 5/10 (18 December 2011)

I read the first book and then watched this movie. Up until about a month ago, I have been bashing the Twilight series. I read the book to give it a try and actually enjoyed. The movie though, is another story. It didn't really give the book justice and Kristen Stewart isn't the greatest actress to have been chosen for the role of Bella. I'm finishing up New Moon and will watch that movie next, but my expectations aren't very high because of the first one. I definitely would recommend the books over the movies. There were a lot of things left out and the movie itself seemed a little disjointed and it seemed to run through everything very quickly. For example, when Bella confronts Edward about him being a vampire, he just accepts that she knows right away and it wasn't very believable. If he were truly hiding his secret for almost 100 years, he wouldn't have just showed her he was a vampire right then and there, he would have been at least a little more guarded.
