The movie was exactly what I expected but I didn't expect much. I thought the acting was good but the special effects could have been better. The make up was AWFUL!!! Still, as a huge Twighlight fan I will definitely watch it again at home and am eagerly awaiting a New Moon film. Hopefully with a larger budget, they can have better effects and hire a PROFESSIONAL make up artist. I would definitely leave the casting alone though - they did a great job with that.
