Average Movie

Rating: 5/10 (21 July 2009)

I'm a fan of the books. But I wasn't as excited to see the movie like the other million girls where. I didn't see it in theaters because almost EVERY single girl in my town between the ages of 10-16 couldn't wait to see it. I rented it, and to admit, I was slightly disappointed. Some scenes were great, like the final action scene. But they were only great. Other times I wondered what the heck are they doing.
Robert Pattinson CAN be a little pretty, but only with loads of make-up and computer editing. Taylor Lautner (Excuse me if I've misspelled) was surely the best character match anyone could have gotten. All the extras were better than the main characters.
People think Kristen Stewart is a bad actor. Well, I disagree. She's acted along side Robert De Niro, Jodie Foster and many other big-name stars. She does great.
Something I hated more than anything--WHERE'S THE ROMANCE?! This is supposed to be about LOVE! The whole time I was thinking 'Okay, so, does she like him?' It looks like they're making their own movie, not by the book. And Stephanie was there the whole time, helping the with the movie. She was IN the movie!
Catherine Hardwicke was a shame to Stephanie's books. Chris Weitz --Have I spelled it right? Sorry :)-- should do a better job. Add the love, Weitz, in New Moon!
Altogether, the books beat the movie. Stephanie Meyer rocks! :)
