I thought the acting was awful for the first half of the movie..the vamps looked bizarre and akward. edward reminded be of johnny depp in edward sissorhands. I will say as the movie went it seemed like the actors finally realized they were going to be in a blockbuster movie and not a bad high school play. I love the books and the storyline so anyway I can relive edward and bella I will take it, but the next movie needs to be much better. I think Stephanie should finish writing Midnight Sun before going back to the big screen.
