I was pretty impressed with the cast that was chosen. While none of the vampire’s could ever “humanly” be as beautiful as she describes in the book, Robert Pattinson (Edward) came as close as you could get according to thousands of teens. Every time he was on the screen he got cheered or sighs from love struck teens. The other main character Kristen Stewart (Bella) was a really good actress and she played the part well. The only problem I really had with her was that in the books I remember her as being more common and not beautiful. While she was always beautiful to Edward, she was more of a tomboyish figure.

The worst part of the movie had to be the dialogue, it all sounded very awkward and very forced. When lines were taken directly from the book you could definitely tell because it sounded much more well written than the actual script. I believe this is the first book made movie I have ever seen that actually stuck to the story besides Harry Potter, and was very pleased by this. I do however have a problem with the special effects they used in the film. It kinda looked like a low budget kung fu flick when Edward was running through the forest. It was like he was flying in a blurry slow motion type thing when he was supposed to be running really fast.

Over all I loved the movie. I guess it really depends on how devoted of a fan you are of the series. Wayne has not read the books and his favorite part was all the screaming kids. He said it made it more entertaining, while I found it annoying because it was hard to hear the movie. If you like Vampires or if you are just and avid fan of the books I would really suggest giving the movie a chance. But if the supernatural isn’t really your thing, then don’t waste your money, because you will be disappointed.
