Low on Effects, High on Heat

If you go into the show expecting an exact recreation of the book, you'll be disappointed. But if you watch it knowing that no book can be duplicated on the big screen, you'll be pleasantly surprised. Although the special effects are not very good, they've done an excellent job of creating the intensity between Bella and Edward. And let's be honest, that's what makes this such a great story.
I was disappointed in the casting of most of the Cullens (with the exception of Edward and the Cullen parents), they just weren't beautiful enough. James was superbly cast -- creepy, beautiful, and let's face it ladies, very hot. Bella was exactly as I pictured her. And Edward. . . He couldn't have been hotter!
