I am a huge fan of the books, but this movie was a total joke. It made a mockery of the whole book and there was either some really bad acting, but most likely bad directing. I expected the movie to be more like harry potter or underworld in tone...but the movie appeared to be making fun of the fact the fantastic elements of the story are unrealistic. There is no smooth transitioning, no character development, no good integration of the soundtrack. Everything is just a joke. Whoever wrote the script didn't even appear to have read the book, and if they did, they didn't work with Meyer at all to grasp the whole idea behind it. Unless of course, I am the one who misunderstood the novel.
