I agree. I think Hardwicke did a descent job. Besides, she had the hardest job...casting characters...trying to bring the mood of the novel into film. There is a page here about her...and all the mistakes she made. But, I remember at the time the first movie came out...most people loved it. I've seen some 'extra' scenes that Hardwicke left out of Twilight...some were quite good and should have made the movie. However, Hardwicke also filmed some extra scenes that were strange. One was in Bella's first day in biology class...when she first sits with Edward. There was a scene from Edward's perspective. In it Edward is fantasizing about killing Bella, so the scene has Edward leaping at Bella and drinking her dry right in front of the class. Another scene showed Edward and Bella walking in the woods together and Edward slides down on the ground bringing Bella down with him. Bella then places her finger in Edward's mouth...and bites down and apparently takes a little sip. I don't know why Hardwicke would even film scenes like these.
