I LOVED this movie as the movie is actually close to the book. The movie does move very fast through the story so if you haven't read the book you may have a harder time keeping up. Rob Patz did a great job capturing the constant struggle Edward was in, but because he did that, you may find it a bit cheesy as it's surreal and the emotions are constantly wavering on R. Patz's face. I wasn't overly thrilled with the sparkle effect - should have covered his lips and eyes. Kristen was a great Bella - she's stronger in the movie than in the book. I thought the high school kids were perfect - they totally captured how typical high schoolers act - LOVED Mike's scene outside the cafe window - funny.
