I read all 4 of Stephenie Meyer's books and was taken away by the characters, the storyline, romance and action. I had been anticipating this movie since I found out that it was coming to the big screen.
The movie was a disappointment to me. I found that the chemistry between Bella and Edward was entirely absent. The whole essence of why I loved the story just wasn't there. They changed the story around in ways that didn't make sense even to someone who read all the books. The acting was mediocre, if that.
I left the theatre feeling sad, because I really wanted to love the movie. I will continue to be a fan of the books and will probably re read them just so I can recapture the purity of the story back to where I remember.
