Okay, I saw it...for the first time.
I'll be posting my review later this week since I'm seeing it again with different people this weekend.
All I can say is, if you haven't read the book, you'd be wondering, "WTF!!!"
The movie is not the book.
The book is not the movie.
I think the producers and director did a decent job with the measly budget that they had.
What was lacking - Good special effects. In fact, they were kind of cheesy. The "sparkle" effect was underwhelming.
What was great - the acting by the leads. Rob Pattinson played tortured and angst ridden vampire to a "T". Kirsten Stewart's intense and obsessive love was captured quite well. The lush, green scenery along with the desaturated tones of the Pacific Northwest were also beautiful. The wierd camera angles. The music.
I liked the movie and am looking forward to seeing it again to catch the other details.
