Cai, your spot on with your movie comments! Edward was not the strong type portrayed in the book and Bella was a simpering mess instead of unphased by it all. I think the actor who plays Edward was done an injustice, he fits his description and def has the acting potential to portray him properly but the script sucked.

ETA - did anyone else think the actors playing the Cullens were spot on!? Esp Alice, exactly how I imagined her.

I can see where you guys are coming from with the movie... however i did love it and cant wait to see it again..... i think they missed alot of important things and wished the movie went for longer to fit them in... I went with DP (he didnt really want to go but knew how much i loved the books) and i kept telling him that this happened because of.... or in the book it was like this...

Anna yeah i pictured Alice like that.... i dont think they could have picked anyone better.... lol at the start i thought Jasper looked so weird.... i had to laugh.... tho since reading all the books i think they are all spot on
Oh also i didnt picture Jacob like that in my head.... i'm not sure what i was expecting

Apprently i read that the 3rd movie is coming out in June or July next year so not to much of await after New Moon

Hmm yeah the Jacob actor was not what I pictured. As for Jasper, yep now Im halfway through New Moon I def think the actor portrays him well. Thought he looked a bit drugged in the movie but makes sense now lol

Can I just say I thought the baseball scene was great, I was so hoping theyd include it in the movie.

Now I had better get all the books read before the end of the year so I can watch the movies afterward.

Cai agree to with you on the movie. But they had a minimal budget so maybe that why they didnt get into the characters more? I wish they would have shown Jaspers abilities and the part in the ballet studio when James tells Bella about Alice! Edward was different to how I pictured him in the book but maybe he played him like that cause that's how he thought he was? My wise friend said one day the book is the bible and the movie is eye candy and so we have a picture of the characters lol!

Apparently i read that the 3rd movie is coming out in June or July next year so not to much of await after New Moon

I hope they dont rush it out! I will be happy t wait so they do a good job!

Jasper looks like Edward scissor hands lol!

So how is your favourite character besides Edward?

Mine is Carlisle, I like his ethical stance on being a vampire and how even though he is one person he has chosen to change his way for the greater good!

yeah i have to go with my fav second as Carlisle too. i'm sure that if the books were about him, he'd be my fav, as i think he and edward are at the base of it fairly similar in traits IYKWIM.

hmm, yeah thats right, the movie missed some really key (or at least IMO) scenes. hope they have the better budget to get it better this time (including the makeup!!).

I seriously wasnt feeling the love for the movie edward. as cai mentioned i felt that he couldnt really portray his longevity masquerading as a teen well enough. hopefully with some acting coaching and stronger direction etc that will iron itself out.

i also didnt think that rosalie was wardrobed right. she is meant to be the height of fashion and beauty and i kinda felt that in every scene she looked dishevelled.
