The movie was really good, although the fact that I read & fell in love with the book beforehand really enhanced the movie. The movie did leave out some background information, such as Alice’s past, & Jasper's power. For being limited to a 2 hour film, I thought that they did an excellent job! & for those fans of the book who don't like the choice of Rob Pattinson for Edward. I was totally with you beforehand, but after seeing twilight, I am absolutely in love with him. All of the characters just sort of fell into place. I think that he's so lovable in the movie because of the role given to him. You can't help but to fall in love with Edward Cullen. No matter who plays him. It was a really good film, although definitely read the book first.
