The movie was really good and the actors were perfect. But there was to much emphasis on the bad vampires which were a very small part of the book. The reason we all love the book so much is the love story and that was virtually glossed right over. By adding parts about the bad vampires that weren't in the book things that were important and relevent to a series were left out. The movie stands on it's own but for those of us who read the series of books and fell in love it just wasn't the same story.
