Movies are never better than books. Obviously. So I came into Twilight not expecting much. It did feel a little rushed and the love story seemed a little quick, but that's just due to movie time constraints. I went with a person who had read all the books and loved them, myself who was in the same position, and another friend who hadn't even ever heard of the Twilight series. We all walked out of the movie with the same reaction: giddy enchantment wondering when we could see the movie next. Is it cheesy? Yes. Is there some bad acting? Yes (although not from the main characters). But it's just really this incredible, sexy, beautiful journey.
