When I first saw it, I was like that is so not Bella! She isnt who I see when I read these books. She doesnt even behave that way. But looking at it again and again (lol) she plays Bella all right. Plus I liked her before. Kristen's cool.
All the Cullen's actors had it down. Kellen was soooo Emmett to me.

Everyone else was cool too!

i may sound bias..
but i think JACKSON R. did a great job..
the distressed and in pain look..
and THE BASEBALL SCENE!
THE BEST!

Haha Kimmy
you are soo biased
yeah I do love the pained look
it was kinda a turn-on

I loved, loved, loved Ashley Greene
she was the purr-fect Alice

I loved her voice and her graceful- nessss

So unlike me but whatever

I loved Kellan Lutz as Emmett... it's exactly how I pictured him, his size, his voice, just perfect. And Ashley Greene as Alice. Loved her aswell. Especially in the baseball scene!

They were all amazing, but I think my top favs were: Jasper, Alice, Carlisle, and Edward. Jasper just showed the internal pain so well! Alice was just exactly the way she was described. Carlisle was just plain amazing!! Edward just made sure everything went well and correctly.

rob played the best as edward and kristen played best as bella they picked an actress that looked just like how i pictured bella

To be honest I thought that Bella was portrayed as too boring and bland. Not physically but personality-wise. Though I don't think that it's all down to Kristen - She was probably told to act like that, I've seen other stuff with her in and she was better in that so no, I wouldn't blame her.
At first I thought Jackson Rathbone was being too uptight but then I was like "well he's supposed to be like that" though he should have eased off a bit at the end. Lutz did a very good Emmet and Alice and Carlisle were also played very well, I can't say much about Esme but I did think that Rosalie was painted more hostile than I would've wished - but again this is of no fault of Reed's, rather I would blame Catherine Hardwicke.
Renee I wasn't pleased with, she doesn't look right to me. And Sam Uley's actor is too old, he's meant to be 19.
All in all I thought it was casted very well.

Isn't this what Bella is known as? Not very electric...but...bland?

^^ Nahhhh the Bella in the books had a personality.

Yeh book-Bella made jokes and used sarcasm and stuff but film-Bella barely did anything slightly interesting.
Well that's just my opinion.

I think there was a subtle type humour going on...-shrug-
I don't know, even though Bella used sarcasm and stuff, doesn't mean there was that vibrant a personality there! Oh well, W00T Twilight.
