I loved the book. I really liked the movie. I think if you haven't read the book you can't fully understand the depth of the characters. The movie in my mind turned a sexy and sophisticated Edward into a slightly goofy character but I still love him. I wish they would have had a different actress playing Bella (Dakota with dark hair would have been perfect). All in all, I really liked the movie. I hope the following movies will do a better job in the make-up department. I think the movie followed the book very well. I think it followed the book better than any other movie has. I thought it was a great movie!
