Went to the midnight premier last night. I loved it and I hated it. Well, not hate, but was disappointed at some parts. It did move very fast, and I honestly think they could have added an hour to the movie to better develop Edward and Bella's relationship and get more of the story in. I don't necessarily think you HAVE to read the book, but it definitely helps. Good movie, I will see it again I'm sure, and I can't WAIT till the next one comes out. I just found some clips on myspace so I'm all excited. Now if they could just find a way to tap into my brain to put what I was playing in my mind on the screen while I read the book, now we're talking a great movie...
