The movie was nothing that i thought it would be.I thought that the casting was perfect and that rob was a beautiful edward, but the direction and effects were disappointing.I know that it is impossible to fit everything into the movie but the entire film felt rushed. The scenes were choppy and the characters were not developed enough. If i didn't read the book there is a good chance I would be very confused with what was going on. Even though I had a few good laughs, it seemed like the movie was almost mocking the book. I kept waiting for it to get better..but it just didn't. For all the buzz the movie was getting it just didn't live up to the hype for me.
