Misleading title but still great film
PostedMay 17, 2010

from Central Ohio
This movie was not at all what I was expecting and really should be called "Robin Hood: The Prequel." I was expecting to see a new take on the classic Robin Hood legend we all know, rather than the story of how he came to be an outlaw. However, it was still a fun, suspenseful, exciting, dramatic film. I just really hope they make a second one that's more like what I expected from this one.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Overall, Pretty Disappointing for a Bookworm

Charlie and Billy were dead-on. So were Alice and Emmett, although they got painfully little screen time. Jacob, Carlisle, and Rosalie were close. Jessica, Mike, Angela, and the other Forks kids, though, were stiff and over-the-top.
There was no flow in the plot. Exposition was crammed into awkward lines. Important character development and funny scenes were ignored. The intensity of Bella and Edward's relationship was cheesy without the lighter moments that allow the reader/viewer to identify with them. The acting was often stiff and awkward, which is a failure of the director, as Kristen and Rob are both very talented actors.
Overall, it was probably a decent movie if you haven't read the book. Literature beats cinema every time.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
