Okay, Kristen Stuart is awful. can you say over-acting? ugh. someone of the characters that are brought to like from the book don't look exactly right, but generally it's okay. The movie jumps around and i expected a big change from the book, which i got. mainly because so much juiciness had to be squeezed out to make a 2 hour movie. people who have not read or are not as serious about the book may enjoy it more, but some of the jokes or lines are not as special without some background. There is definitely enough eye candy to last a life time, and someone of the cinematography shots were indeed pretty captivating. overall, it is a departure from the book, but as a movie, it was good.
