Readers Beware

For you who appreciate the beauty of the Twilight series, this movie has portrayed its characters as being painfully simple & stereotypical, losing both the complexity and the "it factor" that had me hooked. My true disappointment was with Edward. The way that Pattison played his part underwhelmed and frustrated me. Bella and Edward are supposed to have a forbidden, restrained, and PASSIONATE love. In this film it deals more with the fact that Edward is a "monster" than with their relationship. The relationship is the dominant theme in the novel, with his status as a vampire being the main foil. Every movie adaptation must lose some of the book's meaning but this one completely underplayed their complex yet triumphant love.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
