I've read all of the Twilight books several times over, and I adore them. When I saw this in the theater last year, I'd never been so disappointed in a movie in all my life. It has the look of a bad music video. The acting is horrible. The staging and directing...horrible. The scenery was beautiful, but that's really all this movie had going for it, IMO. That and an awesome soundtrack. The fact that they cut out so many key points from the book just irks me to death. However, I WOULD recommend anyone who is a fan of the novels to at least see it. If you accept it for what it is, its tolerable.
