Second, I thought he and Kristen were perfect for the parts. She is beautiful, and so is he- I can honestly say I can’t picture anyone else playing their parts. I can also say that in my long lifetime, I have yet to find another male on this earth that I find even remotely as hot as Rob. Not to mention all the talent that oozes out of every pore.

My opinion: (”please no stone throwing” she yelps as she enters the lion’s den of Twilight fans who are probably under that age of 20….)

Honestly, I read the book back in 2005, when very few people had heard of it. In fact, I have read many books before they became fads, including Coraline, Blood and Chocolate and Watchmen. I have always been a book worm and I, sadly introduced it to everyone I know who has read it.

From all of the incredible books I have read, I don’t see why Stephanie Meyer is praised and even comparable to someone like Anne Rice or J.K. Rowling.
Truly talented writers who know the Hero’s journey, character development and how to convey that in viable and noteworthy literary form.
She is not a great writer. Sorry. She wrote an interesting story that has been done before by more talented people. Just because the Backstreet Boys (my teenage heart-throbs) were popular didn’t mean they had much talent nor would I ever compare them to musicians like The Beatles…

I like the book, never thought it should be a movie, and didn’t like Bella Swan in either. She is a poor character with no backbone who only perpetuates a damsel in distress; a prototype that went out with the dark ages of medieval times…..someone girls do NOT want to look up to….

I don’t like Kristen Stewart at all. (dodges stones, crucifixs and stakes)
I saw her in Speak, and the Messengers and saw that she applied the same character to Bella. She acted like she was always confused and kinda cracked out which is honestly bad acting. Good actors never apply the same character personality to all characters they portray, in fact good actors can convince you that they can be anyone you want them to be, man or woman.
She said every line the same flat way and never even cracked a smile! Not once!

People I think are a bit too afraid to admit that she is a bad actress because they are afraid they are some how putting down the character or the book which isn’t true. I’m just saying Kristen isn’t right for the part.

I always thought someone like Emily Browning (Lemony Snickets a series of Unfortunate Events, The Uninvited) would be better for the part.

Not only can this girl act on so many levels, portraying just the person we need for our Bella, but she looks how SM described her. Heart shaped face, young, plain yet somehow pretty.

(Holla if she screams BELLA to you!)

Emily is the right age too. Anyways as for looks, lets face it girls, Kristen Stewart is a train wreck. Don’t feel bad, you can admit it without putting down the book, or the character or even the movie.

Thats not saying anything about the actress just that she would be more appropriate for different roles than our shy, timid, heart shaped face Bella.

As for Rob, no beef with him. Thought he was good looking and carried the movie for Kristen’s poor acting. Everyone else? Perfect.
