I am a huge fan of the books and I was skeptical about seeing a movie based on a film. I hope that Robert Pattinson picks up some acting classes before New Moon is shot. I think Robert Pattinson is a gorgeous Edward, but his acting skills left MUCH to be desired. The cheesy special effects added nothing to the movie, but earned laughs from my friends and I because they were so horrible. The running sequences were awful; I would have expected a better presentation of the speed skills than we were shown. I'm undecided if I would even want to see New Moon or any others; I don't want to spoil the love I have for all things Twilight by subjecting myself to the fake and unbelievable portrayals given by some of the actors.
