Basically a teen drama movie
I did not read the books. You'd think I would have since I enjoy reading juvenile literature like Harry Potter, adored the first 3 books of Ann Rice's Vampire Chronicles, and am a fan of the short-lived TV series "Kindred: the Embraced". I did not read Meyer's books simply because everyone else seems to be doing so.
I just waited for the movie and dragged my friend who has a crush on Pattinson to see it... thinking that if I liked it, I'd buy the book.
The first half is a sleep inducing drag, full of teen angst. I would think that had I been immortal, I would engage in much more interesting activities than matriculating. And if I was Edward Cullen, who's stuck with a teenager's body, I would find falling in love with a mortal teen a cradle-snatching act.
The action finally came in the second half of the movie, but the movie was over even before I got warmed up.
My verdict is that either this movie sucks compared to the book, or the book itself sucks.
I'm still not interested in buying myself a copy of the book.
