Great movie; if you read the books.

Rating: 8/10 (30 November 2008)

There is no possible way this movie could live up to the hype, and most of the bad reviews I have read have came from either people who have just read the book or haven't read it at all. Here's the deal, no actors would have been good enough to play Bella or Edward, all the girls pictured themselves as Bella and some sort of God as Edward.
Since there is an obvious time limit they had to cut a lot of things out from the book; and the only place where you get real character development is with Bella and Edward. You must remember though the majority of the original is in Bella's head and it is virtually impossible to include thought in a movie, and in my opinion Twilight did a better job doing this than the first Harry Potter did.
So if you are a Twilight fan don't over analyze the movie; just sit back and enjoy an epic romance from another point of view and let it wash over you. If you never read the books, I suggest you do; remember the book is ALWAYS better then the movie.
