I ve read all the books in my teenage years, and loved them. How could you not? A romance like that is what every girl in high school dreams of: the bad boy that will be good only for you.
The books in my opinion are pretty well written, easy to read, not boring and surprisingly not that cringey ( for teens ofcourse).
The movies, at least the first 3 movies are BAD. I believe the casting is perfect. Edward and Bella, and all the others look the part. But the acting is terrible, and i m pretty sure it s the script and the directing. The lines are just dull and have no connection to reality. No one, i mean NO ONE, talks like that (the dialogue between Bella and Edward mostly). The books have a much better, coherent and even interesting dialogue between the 2.
There isn t much character development in the books either but at lest the existing personalities are far more real. Book-Bella is sarcastic and funny and even has a little temper. She s brave and smart. Movie-Bella is the most boring human ever. Edward is a bit more book-accurate in terms of personality - except his lines are really bad beacause the dialogue is not in the right order like it is in the books and it just doesn t seem natural at all.
The cringe is almost unbearable in the movies. It s just wrong, all of it. I think they really screwed up these books. It could have been a really beautifull teen romance, a sort of fan fiction that would last for years but it s just a big cringe fest.
The only good thing is the soundtrack and the occasional visuals.
