I guess I will start this one by saying: DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.
This movie was similar to the books only in a few moments of dialog, the fact that the Cullens were vampires, and that Bella and Edward loved each other. The events were somewhat similar, but where in the books did Edward say something as stupid as "You can google it." WHAT?! No.
I know most people are thinking, "You knew it wouldn't be identical to the book." Yes, I did. I prepared myself for that. What I did NOT prepare myself for was that they were going to take what could have been the best movie of the YEAR, and ruin it with mediocre acting, forced lines, and overall terrible settings. I was so disappointed by this that I felt as though I'd lost a friend. Not to mention the fact that I was in a theater full of teenage girls who squealed every time Edward came on the screen.
I guess the best way to put it is, IF you HAVE NOT read the book, the movie may pass as a semi-decent film. If you HAVE read the book, the movie will be nothing but a massacre to your senses and a way to ruin a great story.
And just a p.s.: THEY RUINED JASPER.
RATINGS

They ruined that movie. It was just...unspeakable. The acting was very forced...very awkward, very unlike the book that just flowed. Why did all the Cullens look bug eyed and stoned?? I'll back you up on that one Kayla, they ruined Jasper. To me, I felt like they left out 75% of the book, jumping from just meeting to "can't live with you" in a matter of minutes...very awkward. I regret sitting in a theatre full of screaming idiots just to see one of my favorite novels get massacred on screen. Pulling bandaids off is less painful than watching that movie. Overall, I'll give it a D, the only reason it doesn't have an F is because the baseball scene was pretty neat.
