I thought the movie was okay. For viewers who had not read the book, they would be lost. It lacked details.There was too much book to cram into a 2 hour movie. I realize it must be difficult to act out the depth of the emotion that Stephanie Meyers writes. Kudos to Kristen Stewart. Her portrayal of Bella was perfect . And altho my daughter raved over the movie, I couldn't fit Robert Pattinson into the role of Edward. I agree he's a cutie, but he should have kept his normal accent. After all, Edward was in London when Carlisle turned him. The reader assumes he's British. Over all, with movies made from books, the book is definitely better. Kudos to Ms. Meyers for having such a wonderful imagination.
