where's the fun???romance??

Rating: 8/10 (5 September 2009)

First I watched the movie and then I read the book. When I watched the movie I thought it was not bad. I am a huge fan of Robert Pattinson just like any other girl. So it was nice still I thought Kristen was lousy and their chemistry was not good enough. When I read the book I felt awful about the movie. Its simply a wastage of a really good book. I am not asking for cheesy dialog's from the book but where's the comedy??the romance??the reactions to each others thoughts?? I know you cannot adapt exactly like the book but the essence and the romance of teenage Romeo and Juliet was totally lost. They never looked at each other like they cannot live without each other. They sometimes looked bored. Bella's character in the book was funny, very perspective and intelligent which I never found in the movie. Her shyness and her inner goodness is almost never shown. Kristen Stewart never got to the character, not even close. Edward's character is more romantic and deadly. The rest of the vampires and Jacob's characters where really cool. Alice, Jasper, Emmet(who was suppose to be more funny), Rosalie(more beautiful), esme and Carlisle were really not bad. The romance was totally missing between Kristen and Robert. I don't know about their personal life but they should show some beauty in their love on screen. The new moon movie looks better mainly due to direction. I hope they finally get closer to the characters. But the twilight book will always be wasted which is unfortunate because reading the book I felt such a beautiful movie could have been made out of the book. The first book adaptation was very important because they should have tried to show that Bella was sent for Edward who have been in existence for a century. Both the characters should have been more matured especially Edward and the love story should have been irrational. I will always think that what an opportunity was missed. Its a very good book but the movie won't be remembered like that.
