First and foremost, let me tell you. To be fair, no matter how well and rarely a movie may be, it usually cannot be compare to the book. If you're so obsessed with your own interpretation of the books that you protested breaking down, you will probably not like this movie. Unless, it becomes okay to make/sit through 4-10 hour movies, they just can't fit everything in. It's impossible. However, who ever takes on the daunting task of translating book to film has the complete responsibility of getting the very essence of the material and get it right. I know movies need to cut books down to make them fit better for a visual media, but there were some scenes that got left out and/or changed that I felt truly needed to be there or left like the book's.
It's a little weird in the beginning of the movie. Started off in the forest and then jumped to arizona but still pretty cool. when edward was first shown, he really did look like the edward from the book.
Overall, I'd give this movie a B. I'm not one of those people who is going to hate the movie just because it doesn't follow the book exactly. It's a love story, it was already a bit weird as a book, but how else can you reproduce "emotion" The emotion was definitely there.
I personally loved it. it definitely exceeded my expectations. This is definitely a great movie to see. The visuals were breathtaking, The transitions between scenes could have been smoother and the acting left a little to be desired. The dialogue sometimes seemed forced. Pattinson and Stewart really had some great chemistry and the heated and tension filled glances they repeatedly gave each other were right on the mark.
