Twilight was everything I wanted and more. For an avid fan of the series, I am not disappointed. I would recommend this movie to anyone. Mothers, daughters, sons, dads, even. It can just appeal to anyone. It's got a little bit of everything. It was dramatic, comedic, horrifying at times. It did stray from the book in certain areas, but this is a movie. Movies need a visual appeal to the audience. Books work differently. I trusted Catherine Hardwicke, and it turned out great. Go see it if you haven't already! I promise you, you won't be disappointed!
