But that's just it, the movie's storyline DIDN'T include the major plot; that is, "the depth of Bella and Edward's relationship." She barely touched the surface of the profoundness of their love, which is what the entire series is about. They had a total of like 2 minutes of conversation, and suddenly they were in love. Catherine didn't include many significant scenes from the book in which Edward and Bella really got to know one another.
And the meadow scene was terrible. As soon as they went to the woods, and Bella started saying, "you're impossibly fast..." I was like, oh you have GOT to be kidding me. The ENTIRE scene, which was supposed to be the pivotal moment in their relationship, was him getting in her face and intensely warning her that he is dangerous - and then, boom, they were laying next to each other in a (darkish) meadow - not speaking, of course, because when did they ever speak during the movie? It was giving me secondhand awkwardness just watching those two together.
And Edward's character was laughable - and literally, I laughed every time he opened his mouth and said something. He was just TOO intense. In the book, he becomes all comfortable and happy after the meadow scene. But that didn't happen in the movie. He remained all gloomy and weird. Isn't Eward supposed to enrapture you? Isn't he supposed to be all confident and glowing, like an angel, as Meyer constantly compares him to? And he just WASN'T. He was soo AWKWARD. He was always flashing that "crooked smile" of his in the book; I think he cracked a smile like 3 times in the movie.
That was my major ish with this movie. And there are more. But there were a lot of people, like the people in front of me in the theater, that hadn't read the book and were really confused! Edward and Bella's relationship slash love just wasn't portrayed clearly AT ALL.
