The adaptation from book to movie was utterly horrible, which I wouldn't have thought was possible.
The time spent on scenes that weren't even in the book would have been much better used to provide some background details and some scenes to reinforce that Edward and Bella love each other. Because honestly, if I hadn't read the book, I would never believe that they are in love, let alone soul mates.
I'm hoping that a different director, some cast changes (the acting was so over the top terrible that is was LOL funny), and a bigger budget for the sequels will help the final product.
