I hated the fact that the movie was only an hour long. People! That's NEVER enough time to cover a book that's suppose to be like 3 months of time going by! You can't posibly cram all the details of the book, another reason it was horrid. I loved the books, but not Braking Dawn. WAY to much info. I feeling optamistic about New Moon though. Much bigger buget, so I really hope it will be 3 hours long. :D That would be awesome. People need to realize that a movie can't be batter then the book unless the book doesn't have much details. That, and it depends on the writer, of cource. I was peaved at the movie. :/ I liked the some what realisticness of some of the scenes, but all together didn't like it.

Let's face it, what works on a page does not necessarily work on film (take Lucas, for instance, who couldn't write decent dialogue for a woman even if he got hit over the head with an estrogen anvil). I loved the movie in its own right, knowing it could never be a 100% clone of the book. And there's nothing wrong with that.

It seemed as though they pressed "fast-forward" through the book leaving out important details, and not following some of the simple ones! How hard could it have been?..... I do however hope they follow up, and make the sequels... Maybe with the next movie they can focus more on the actors, and not filling the holes with a ton of music..... .Only time will tell! Hopefully, Stephenie Meyer will continue the saga with a new set of books.... I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Was lucky (or unlucky) enough to see it the 20th, and I have to say I did not have that high expectation since I dislike most of the actors... I hated every minute. It would have been enough with just the bad (and in Rob's case ugly as hell) actors but they were not only ugly but could not act one bit and the movie had that plastic feeling over it wich did not fit the book one bit. I do still love the book but I have to say that since Meyer actually liked this film I have lost some of my respect for her. -Alma I have to mention it, I love the books but I hate the film.

HA yea right sorry but seeing vampires fall in love with humans isnt my taste at all. lol i argued to crazy little girls in my school that Twilight is going to beat The Dark Knight ….. i laughed in there faces and said the only way your going to get that movie to beat TDK , you would have to have everybody who has seen the dark knight movie… to become a fan of this book.
