I want to start by saying that I absolutely LOVED the books, and could not wait for this movie. However, my expectations were severly not met! The acting was atrocious, the movie followed the storyline poorly, and the chemistry between Bella and Edward was very disappointing! When reading to books, I was taken to another place and the chemistry was H-O-T; not so much. I hope that the movie makes enough to improve special effects and to send more than a few of the cast to acting classes. (This pains me to have these thoughts, though...) Take the chance and judge for yourself...
