Secondary school student Bella doesn't think that life will change much when she moves from radiant Arizona to stormy Washington state. just then she meets Edward, a great looking yet baffling youngster. Edward is a vampire whose family does not drink blood, and Bella, a long way from being scared, goes into a perilous romance with her e perfect partner.
Unfortunately, but not unexpectedly, new director Chris Weitz has decided to be generally faithful to his source material despite the problems it's going to give him through a narrative that could delicately be described as 'sprawling.'
Ostensible heroine Bella is such a weak, needy, pathetic co-dependent who stirs up so much sh*t for those she purportedly loves that it's hard to muster much rooting interest for her.
It has an amazing kind of emotional integrity and intensity.
