In my opinion, the movie does not even compare to the book. Edward and Bella's relationship in the movie is NOTHING compared to the devotion they have for eachother in the book. Robert does great as Edward - no complaints there (He's gorgeous!) The actress who plays Bella is OK but not great. The movie goes by really fast and you do not get out as much as you would if you read the books. Edward and Bella seem to be different people than the people who learn about in the Meyer books. Their relationship, in my opinion seems off by a long shot. Average. If you have read the books and love them, this movie is likely to be a disappiontment. If you haven't, it is probably going to be 10x better than that.
