Well cast, poorly executed

Rating: 2/10 (22 November 2008)

The movie had potential to be very good. Edward and Bella were actually well cast, as were several of the other characters. However the main characters had little or no time to develop their relationship. Many scenes that could have showed character development were skimmed over with music instead of actual dialog. The cheesy music is what really ruined it for me. When Edward's skin sparkled in the sun (inconsistently) a tinkling/sparkling sound came on. Maybe if I put it on mute I'll enjoy the movie more. I felt like I was watching a bad soap opera or made for TV movie, not one I had paid ten bucks to see on midnight of the opening night.
