I took my son (age 14) to see the film. I realized we might have made a mistake when I saw we were half the male audience in the crowded movie theater. The theater smelled like strawberry shortcake and my little pony.

It was bad enough sitting through it without the subsequent fawning and drooling over the lead character in the team bus on the way home!

I think you’ve added weight to my argument. The film should stand alone. I shouldn’t have to read a book before going to see a film. If there was meant to be passion and longing I should have seen it in the film, rather than bad acting that made everyone look like they were desperate for the toilet. :)

If you look at a film like “Interview with the Vampire” you will see it stands on its own merrits very well. I prefer the story in the Anne Rice novel, but the film is still a great piece of work. Twilight in comparison was complete garbage. Just my opinion. :)

Hardwick is an incredibly gifted filmmaker yet missed the emotional intensity of “Twilight”. If you haven’t read the book how could you understand the passion and longing they have for each other. How they feel one could not live without each other and the physical pain each of them feels when apart? I do think there were lots of rushed moments and poorly shot scenes. I can only hope the studio steps up with “New Moon”. This is defiantly the book to make all the corrections in. We need to revisit Bella and Edward’s relationship and feel the passion. The movie “Twilight” unfortunately was a great disappointment unless your 10-14 year old girl!!
