My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
One of the few movies in a long time that I insisted on seeing the premier for. The actors were a little beyond awkward and hesitant in this first film. Sometimes the nerves fit, but other times it came off as if they didn't really know how to play their roles. Bella especially would pause for very odd amounts of time in the middle of sentences or making observations. Obviously there were several things rearranged or edited in the film as they couldn't play out everything the same as the book and keep it to one movie. Personally thought they could have done more with the meadow scenes as they were such big highlights in the book. The one lone meadow scene in the film just doesn't make up for all the discovery and connecting that takes place between this awkward couple. Hoping for even better acting and ca closer storyline with the next film.
