I went in knowing that the movie was going to be different from the book... After seeing it ... I loved it!! it was amazing!! I went to see it at midnight with my brother, cousin and friend... and we all loved it! I really think that Catherine Hardwicke did a great job with the movie... especially because they didn't have much money to begin with. I would definitely recommend seeing this movie!! I convinced my mom ( who hasn't read ANY of the books) to go and see it... i described it to her and she said that she REALLY wants to go and see it now!! =D
