The movie seemed like a beginners movie, the actors and the director/producer etc all seemed very unexperienced. in that respect the movie was good, however if you read the book right before you go you will be highly disappointed in the differences. If you have in your mind that Bella and Edward are very sure of the words they speak and do not mumble/stutter excessively, you will also be disappointed. The best part was the baseball scene and the hunt, the entire movie should have been way more serious rather than more of a joke and more intense. I feel like i watched an intended comedy. James' acting was surperb, as well as Charlie's.
