I am a big fan of the Twilight series, but I was felt the movie was very very average. The acting wasn't great at times, the scenes were very choppy and some of the white vampire make up was over done to the point of looking fake. You should absolutely read the books before you see the movie, its just essential. Some parts of the movie were funny, thought i seemed it was mostly things that shouldn't really have been funny, that made me laugh, like the fact that Jasper somewhat resembles a large fetus. Would i see this movie again, yes. Do i suggest other people see it, sure, if you want to. Story wise it was not a disappointment, but technically it was a let down.
