I knew there was no way anyone could capture Edward because everyone has their own vision of what Edward is - perfect, which no one can be. Kristen Stewart is SO BELLA! Rob Pattinson portrayed Edward beautifully. He nailed the 'pained' expressions and you can tell he's fighting with himself continuously. If you didn't read the books, you don't understand why he acts the way he does and it comes off as overdramatically bad acting, which it isn't! The other Cullens weren't in the film much :( Everyone captured their character's mannerisms so well! Suffer through the iffy special effects & enjoy Edward for yourself!
