Very well done...

Rating: 9/10 (4 April 2009)

I have to say that I had heard of this story for some time before i took any interest in it. The ideas behind it seemed rather dumb and didn't make too much sense. It was merely something my girlfriend was into. I had heard what others had to say about it, finding that almost all women liked it, but i had not heard of one guy that liked it in the least. I am, however, glad to say that the book...along with the movie, were very very good. While i didn't read the book until after i saw the movie, i have to say that i really liked it. While i agree that the movie was somewhat too short, it was done really well, and the character chemistry was very good. I am a big fan of Kristen Stewart and i think that she did the best job possible as Bella. Rob Pattison did a good job as Edward as well, though it seemed he had trouble expressing the emotions to match the scene. My only quarrel with this movie would be despite the fact that it is a full 2 hrs long, it could have easily been much longer. Being the only guy i know that even remotely likes the movie or books, its weird to think about but I'm glad to say that i really liked them both, and i am excited to see the sequels and read the rest of the books.
