Being a fan of the books, I thought they did a terrible job portraying the relationship between Edward and Bella. They aren't staying true to the livres as much as I would like. Although, it's understood that it will not translate exactly from the book to screen.
The problem I had with the movie was how Jacob was portrayed. I think Taylor is a great Jacob. I'm not belittling him as Jacob. His acting, everyone's jouer la comédie can improve. But, his character wasn't the character in the book. Yes, Jacob is heart-broken in the book. I can understand that. And alot of people sympathize for him. But in the movie, they showed him as this crying chiot and they left Edward and Bella's relationship hanging.
In the beginning of the movie, Edward and Bella's relationship was perfect. There were light moments, just like in the books. When he leaves to protect her, it breaks their physical relationship. Though, it doesn't break their bond, their l’amour for each other. Their scenes towards the end of the movie, Italy and post-Italy, were very rushed. The film failed to re-established their relationship. In the books, they talked about why he did what he did and how he hated himself for it. And, they did cover that in the movie, they could have taken plus time to explain it better, to better portray the feeling in the book.
I liked the end, but they could have stayed closer to the book if they didn't have that certain cliff hanger. They could have added a different scene with Victoria, which I know they filmed (it's a deleted scene).
In the book, she told Jacob, once they returned from the "vote" that "It will be him. It's always been him." Then her and Edward return to her house, and there they make arrangements for her mmortality and he proposes.
As a cliffhanger, they could have added a Victoria scene that was in the original draft. It wouldn't have left Victoria's whereabouts hanging and it could have stayed closer to the book. They could have avoided the whole "Edward proposing to Bella in the woods". How romantic. Lol
