I've read all the books, major fan, got to the theaters about 3 hours early just to get good seats. I didn't know if the actors would pull it off but I'm now inclined to say both Robert Pattinson and Kristin Stewart performed magnificently. It was a great movie, albeit a bit cheesy at points, but isn't that what makes us love twilight? If you haven't read the books I recommend doing so, it makes the movie all that better--though it does great all on its own.
