I recently started reading Stephanie Meyer's series and loved the books. I couldn't put them down. I was so excited to finally get to see the movie and see what all the hype was about. I was expecting the books to be translated on the big screen as Harry Potter was, but I was very disappointed. The acting was just terrible and the movie was very low budgeted. It wasn't too terrible....but no where near the excitement and romance in the novels.
What's great about it: Edward is hot =)
What's not so great: acting, doesn't live up to the book
