I thought the movie was just one person's interpretation of the book. All of the people who came with me (who had all read the books) thought that anyone who hadn't read the book before viewing it would not understand what was going on. So many important points from the book were not included, while it spent more time on unimportant points added to the movie. Everyone I spoke with agreed that there was minimal character development. How could we possibly have Twilight without learning Carlisle’s past or Alice’s story? I found so many gaps in the storyline that could have been filled in instead of taking that time to feel the awkwardness between Charlie and Bella. Please read the book and remember the magic of the book that the movie lacked.
