This is the first and worst of the Twilight movies, and it has made almost 400 million dollars! Wow do we have bad taste. This movie is true to the book, which yes I read. But it's just not very good. They did a wonderful job of casting the leads, and the supporting cast, but the movie just sucks. Not well filmed, and poorly adapted, it's just not scary or even slightly terrifying. It does a good job of building the relationship between Bella(Kirsten Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) but that's about it.
If you're not familiar with the books, Bella is supposed to be a non descript young girl who moves in with her dad in the tiny town of Forks. Forks is one of many rainy little towns in the Pacific Northwest but it just happens to have a family of vampires living there:The Cullens. No one in the town seems to be aware that they are vampires despite their alabaster skin and amber eyes, because they are overwhelmed by their beauty. Bella falls for Edward, soon realizes she is in love with a vampire and like any young girl decides to go for it and let the world be damned; she's in love.
All this leads to a problem within the family and then the arrival of new vampires who threaten Bella's life. That's pretty much it in a nut shell and why it was such an easy read. The acting is okay, the direction poor, and the only good scene in the movie was the baseball game. If you loved all the Twilight books then you've already seen this movie 5 times. If you haven't seen don't bother. It's a terrible film.
