I haven't read the book because after Twilight, I was so over the vampire trend. But I went to watch it anyway because the final trailer looked good and I always try and watch book based movies. I was surprised because it was actually good. To me it was. I'm not a critic. But for someone who isn't a fan of the books and haven't read them, I actually liked it. There was the usual cheesy lines and the love story, though there wasn't much of it. The romance, honestly, was downplayed. It wasn't the center of the story. And I am so okay with it. Plus points for the vampire puns. Plus Rose was actually a likable heroine. She's weak at some parts, but strong enough to kick ass. She's also sarcastic that it gets annoying at times, especially the voice overs, but the snark is funny enough that it's easy to ignore it.
