Well...there were definitely some parts that were laughable...the intense gazing on the part of Rob Pattinson was pretty ridiculous at times. The twitchy look off in the distance and stutter thing of Kristen Stewart was also overdone. However, since this film was primarily aimed at 14-year old girls...it did its job. I have to admit, when Rob Pattinson first appeared on screen, I "Whooooo"'d along with the rest of them (and I'm 27).
I don't think it lived up to the hype, but I've read the books.
The soundtrack was phenomenal. Rob Pattinson can REALLY sing and is featured on two tracks. There are also Paramore, Muse, Linkin Park, Collective Soul and more.
So....movie = good, book = great, soundtrack = amazing.
