I've read and loved all the books and was really looking for toward the movie. It was horrible. The acting other than Robert Pattinson was really bad. Bella had no personaity and was always doing some weird twitch nodding thing before she said a line. Really bizzare. It was shot like a b-flick low budget movie,there was no flow between scenes and no building of Edward and Bella's relationship. If you hadn't read the book I think you would have a really hard time following the story.
The only good thing I can say--it stayed pretty true to the story and there was some humorous dialogue so we did get to laugh a little. I went with 4 other women in my age group who have all read and loved the books and we were all disappointed.
