Good movie, bad adaptation

Rating: 5/10 (25 November 2008)

Overall it was an ALRIGHT movie. I have read the books and LOVED them! but I wasn't expecting too much out of the movie. Most people here who say it was a disappointment I believe are just saying it because they had high expectations. The movie was good, but the director did do a HORRIBLE job. The thing that bugged me the most was that there was nothing leading into Bella and Edwards relationship. It was like when Edward said "I don't think we should be friends" or whatever...I was like okay when did this movie even distinguish that they were friends in the first place...and then the next thing I know hes telling her he loves her. Other than that, I think they did an excellent casting job! Alice and Emmet were great! It was a little awkward and SO obviously low budget. I think Summit should choose a new director for New Moon.
