As I expected, the movie did not portray the book very well. I have learned that books are always better then the movie. I was also upset b/c I felt like I was watching a school special on T.V. It was a low budget film. I think it would be good enough to watch at home, but not a movie for the theaters. I also felt that the makeup job on the cullen characters were horrible. Hopefully, for the next movie they will have more money to produce a better film with better special effects.
