In all honesty I think the movies are as bad as people claim it to be because while Kristen Stewaurts acting isn't on par and the chemistry between her and Robert Pattinson isn't quite there, they were pretty much as good as it's source material. Kristen may seem bland and have the same facial expression, but the Bella in the is bland with very little personality because she's supposed to be a self insert which translates to her performance on screen. Robert really didn't want to be there and you could tell, plus if he seems creepy it's because Edward is creepy. Taylor Lautner was actually the best actor in there which isn't saying much, but he managed to not make everything he did look like it was faked and contrived, so that's why he gained my praise. But then again that could be because Jacob's the realest character in the book, the one that's most relatable because you can imagine people like him in real life while the others seem like they're characters in a book create for only one reason, to serve the plot. (Although most of the wolves seemed pretty relatable too) All in all the movies weren't bad for what they were, but I think the writers of the screenplay and the directors should have focused less on the source material and more on making it translate to screen because the reason these characters work in a book is because you're own imagination can take off where the author lacks with characterization, but with a movie you can still do that, but now you have a face and personality attached to it that's the actors making it more difficult and thus less likable.
