If you haven’t read the book how could you understand the passion and longing they have for each other. How they feel one could not live without each other and the physical pain each of them feels when apart. I can only hope the studio hires a new team of writers, directors and hair and makeup crew for ‘New Moon’. They should also consider a soundtrack that actually works with the scenes.

The movie felt like it was 2 seconds long. It had no detail only event after event which made it terrible. I hated how they added that scene with the field trip and Edward was acting like a gerk, Edward was never mean to Bella in the Book, he wanted to protect her. i hated how they mixed scenes up, like the Meadow that was Edwards special spot that he should to Bella, in the movie it wasent like that at all. And when Bella escaped the hotel to James, they made it seem so simple, when in reality it was so hard for her to get out. I just hope in the next movie “New Moon” they have more detail it would make it a lot better.

In the eyes of a true, blue fan (like myself), the movie adaption of Stephanie Meyer's Twilight was good. Not too amazing, or extra-special, but good, and that was because you (if you were like me) loved the book so much, the movie would've been the best even if it were done with stick figures.
The acting was decent, but for the lead role, Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan didn't show quite enough emotion, in my opinion. Bella is susposed to seem confused by all the sudden going-on's involving her Vampire boyfriend, Edward, and his family, the Cullen's, but Kristen made Bella seem almost...un-interested. Almost not even shocked by anything. But she did alright, and it worked out in the end, as she came through on the scenes involving a lot of love.
Robert Pattinson played his part as Edward Cullen wonderfully, in my opinion. Though a bit quirky and creepy at some parts, that was expected, as Edward is torn between wanting to eat Bella alive, and wanting to keep her as a normal human and not turn into a 'monster.'
The rest of the cast did great, as well. They looked almost exactly as I had imagined them in the book. The one fight scene in the movie, and the build-up to it, was a bit rushed, as James wasn't really even seen that much, and that kind of killed the rush you got when you read the book, in the movie version.
Altogether, the give the movie an 8 out of 10, because I loved the book's, and I am awaiting the continuation of the movie's. Who knows? Maybe they'll fix some of the quirks here and there and the rest of the movies, if they follow suit to the books, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn will be amazing.
I can't wait to see what happens, and I would, aside from the few problems it has, reccomend Twilight for anyone up for a good movie. And, fans don't need to be told, they know.

It was the film's set piece baseball scene that gave her the most difficulty. "I actually hit a cameraman with a baseball," she admitted.

I've read the series at least 9 times now, and I've got to say the movie was a big disappointment. The acting was awkward and dispassionate, and it was painfully obvious that this was a low-budget film. I found myself laughing hysterically at the strange expressions on Rob's face, and at the fact that after two conversations they were declaring their undying love to each other. I just hope they don't botch New Moon.
LOVED the book!!! Very dissappointed with the movie. Horrible acting, scenes were choppy,characters didn't seem to have that strong connection as in the book and the whole production was very cheaply done. Being a fantasy type of book there was alot of potential for great graphics and special effect for the movie adaptaion but none of that was done properly. I expected ALOT more! Lets hope they invest more money into the sequal "New Moon" and get it right for a change.
