I watched Twilight. I didn't think it was bad, actually. Very polished in acting, music, and that nice grey and blue hue. That being said, the baseball scene was like a goofy MTV video, which isn't good because there is where the climax of the movie begins. It's not scary. The story of willpower and fighting desire is interesting, but it's not clear if there is any love between the characters other than the physical infactuation that causes them to desire each other in the first place. A true love has to be based on more than just force, and that's what first unites them (he is attracted to her scent, and she is attracted to him the way vampires are able to do so to their prey). So where is the development? It's lacking. It's also not clear why he can't read her mind. Maybe that will be cleared up in following installments, but for now it's just a convience.

But enough about the problems. I find it at least mostly entertaining and good looking, and I would think fans of the book would not be too disappointed.
