I thought that overall the movie was good. I feel they casted Edward, Bella, and Charlie perfectly as well as Laurent, James, and Victoria. However, I was not feeling the other members of the Cullen clan. Also, the story moved VERY quickly, and I felt like they left out so much of the back-story that it would be difficult for a non-reader to understand the connection between Edward and Bella. I left the movie definitely thinking that the book was more 'satisfying'.
Another nit-pick thing that was distracting for me was the costumes. I thought that the wigs that the Cullen clan were wearing were so obviously wigs that it was not believable for me. That probably had something to do with why I couldn't get into the Cullen characters.
