I didn't picture Blake. I don't think she's confortable enough in her own skin. Maybe before the rhinoplasty, but after I saw the bump reduction from Accepted to Gossip Girl it was clear she didn't like the aesthetics of it. Accept your nose! It knows!

Sorry to sound like a street crier. Hehe.

It's just that we don't get butterflies, when we see him.

In Twilight, I pictured Jacob as the annoying younger brother type, less mature looking. Younger, but trying to be like the older cool kids. In the second one, he was more grown up, and cuter in my mind. In the movie Twilight, the actor just looked more mature than I first pictured Jacob, and acted more like I thought of Jacob in the second book. Did that make sense?
Oh yes. Yeah, the annoying kid thing was not what Taylor was going for I guess.

Kristen (Bella) - As far as looks go Kristen's got it. But she's just terrible in the acting department! Can you tell Bella was in love with Edward? Because I sure can't.
Ashley (Alice) - I could not have said it better myself, Melzz. Perfect.
Rob (Edward, duh.) - Was alright. He is pretty much what I had in mind for looks, but he does lack that certain confidence and charm that he has in the books.
The rest of the actors were perfect, in my opinion. I think no one could have possibly fit Jacob better than Taylor...it just isn't possible. Especially now that he's bulked up a bit and can take center stage as Bella's own personal sun. (I hope Kristen doesn't screw it up. Like in the trailor, anyone notice her dramatic performance when she litterally THROWS the box down when she gets a tiny paper cut. One freaking paper cut and she throws her gift.)

I watched the movie first and then read the books so for me the actors are the charecters. I love ROB as Edward....I love his eyes!! Kirsten is Bella for me...I dont know....in person she looks like a drugie (is that a word??) but she plays Bella Well. I love ALICE in the book and I think Ashley plays her to perfection. Kellan is awesome and suits as Emmett...Jasper, CC and Esme are all well placed but Rosalie!! I hate Nikki as Rosalie! No offence to any one who likes Nikki but I think she is not pretty at all....I can think off atleast 10 actors who could have played her, off top of my head! Twilight didnt have Taylor that much so I wasnt sure but since seeing the clips of NM ....I like him as Jacob.
I am team Swiz but honestly I am more of a Edward/Rob fan (not the harrase him to death type) and not Jacob (Jacob annoys the hell out of me in Eclipse...LOL).
I LOVE Charlie...I cant imagine anyone playing Charlie except Billy. Even the Humans are well placed.
OK enough of my blah blah....LOL

Yes and no.
Rob is not Edward he never ever ever will be.
Kristine fits but roughly.
The guy that plays Carlisle looks like a Ken doll.
Elizabeth is a perfect Esme.
Ashley is perfect for Alice.
Jasper works as well.
Kellan and whatsherface are a perfect Emmet and Rosalie.
Also the sparkle effect sucked.
Rob over did it on the lipstick.

Amber, Rob doesn't choose the make up they put on him. But yes I think the make-up people put too much lip stain on him.

Yeah and they had a really hard time because of the wet rainy weather. I live about 35 min from where they did most of the filming and when it rains here it is usually accompanied by this mist that just sort of hangs in the air. Believe me it is not great for the whole make up department.

Ya I know it's just Twilight was a phenomenal movie but compared to the book it wasn't good but they could never make it just right or all our imaginations.

That explains why you have such a time difference from me. Wow 35 minuets away did you ever go see the set? I live in Iowa and our weather is just rain sunshine and snow

That's a good book but creepy (shudder)

Actually, Kristen Stewart did play Melinda for that movie. I thought she did nicely in that one, you should get to watching it. Speak is one of my favorite books. :)
I know i did she was absolutely perfect she doesn't have enough smart butt in her for Bella.

Rob because I was expecting someone who was breath taking, Rob is more of the high fashion type guy if you ask me and in my mind Edward was going to be... different. I don’t know, its hard to get the Edward in my head out and describe him. Rob is ok looking but nothing I was expecting. He also didn't have the charm i was thinking he would have.
Kristin, well lets face it, she has a man-ish voice. I think that she is great but not Bella material. I was expecting Bella to be more not such a girly girl but just those girls who could be girly girls if they really wanted.
Kristen is not as feminine as Bella, and I think she could have brought more of that "blushing-beauty" vibe to her.
Kristin is more tom-boy so she didn't quite capture it. the converse to prom in the book she wore strappy sandals.

Blushing is harder in a movie. How do you make an actor blush? They rehearse the scenes a lot, so it's not like they could just embarress her. And if they faked it, we would probably be able to tell.
I didn't mean to make her literally blush, I just meant, that she could have had more of a soft-spokeness to her. Bella didn't speak much (even though it was hard to tell, being in her head) and when she did, it was careful, calculated, and controlled to be softer than she was thinking it to be, making her appear shy. Especially when she blushed a lot. That's what I meant by "blushing-beauty" vibe.

Everyone is talking about Kristen not playing a good Bella. I can see where they are coming from, but I think she did an 'okay' job as Bella and Rob did too and Taylor too.
