Hmmm....

I'm a big fan of the books, but also a film buff. I thought with all the hype of the books this would have a bigger budget, but in the end the problems with the film that bothered me most didn't need a huge budget to fix. The stunts were fine. I realize it is hard to flush out the love story of an entire book in 2 hours but it's been done before--I really didn't get the intensity of their love in this movie. What bothered me most--of all things--the makeup and hair. It was ok on the 2 main characters but on Dr. Carlisle, Esme and Jasper--bad work. I could actually see a line where the white makeup ended on Esme's forehead in a scene or two! Surprised that kind of stuff was allowed through editing.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I was hoping for more. The beginning showed promise--Will Smith was believable as the superhero with some very human problems. Then the twist comes--a turn to the movie that you aren't expecting. Things go downhill from there. The twist could have made the story better but it just ended up being a bit too unbelievable. And why all the shaky hand-held camera shots? They don't work for this movie.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
