I am a huge twilight fan. Before the movie I had seen several clips that seemed a little cheesy and then read some negative reviews, so I had extremely low expectations when i saw it. The movie ended up being much better then I expected. The special effects were weak, and some of the music only added cheesiness. The love story is definitely what came through and the tone of the movie held true to the book throughout. At the end of the two hours, I couldn't believe it was already over!! Even with difficult lines, Kristen and Robert were convincing. However, I was totally surprised by Billy Burke's perfect performance as Charlie. He was probably the best actor in this movie.
