I did like the movie. Really love the books, so i was really excited to see the movie. Now I guess you have to take into consideration that it was a low budget film. I felt that the movie felt rushed, lacked character development, that's why people who read the book could follow. They could have had the movie run an extra 30 mins and people would have stayed. This series has a huge following, so I wish they would have done the book better justice. I didn't like the flipping of scenes, or changing where things took place (i.e. where Bella and her dad ate dinner). I think the actors were great, lacked a little direction from the director. But hey hopefully they make enough of this film to do justice to the next film.
