At first when I got out of the movie, I was unsure if I liked it or not. It seemed to just touch the surface of the story and there wasn't enough detail to compare to the book. When you read it, you see Bella & Edwards relationship evolve. In the movie, it seems very quick. I also didn't care for the "sparkling", I had envisioned something different. After going over it in my head though, I think it was a great movie. To my surprise, my husband (who I made come see it) actually liked it too and he hadn't read any of the books. I think Kristen and Rob were perfect characters and the supporting cast did a great job as well. I'm really looking forward to "New Moon". Hopefully they don't wait too long to put it out.
