The appeal of this series in books is that ridiculous stories about teenage vampires and werewolves are told in such a gripping, exciting, and romantic way that they become a mythological parallel that speaks to some of the deepest longings we experience here in reality. The movie, which understandably cannot be 6 hours long, seems to take the highlights of the book and cram them together in a very superficial and silly way, so that the ridiculous story appears to be...merely ridiculous. Parts of it are well done, funny, exciting, etc. Taylor Lautner does an excellent job. As a fan of the series it is hard for the film makers to do any wrong, but as a stand alone movie, ...meh.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
