What movie can live up to the incredible details a writer puts into a book. It would have been a 6hr movie had they done it the way the book was. I LOVED THE MOVIE. To finally see my characters that I dreamed about on film was incredible. Really impressed w/Jessica, Jasper (they didn't touch on his relationship much w/Bella-missed that moment he tells her she is worth it) & of course Carlisle just as I expected. Cheesy, at times but what vampire movie doesn't have those moments. Definately if you didn't read the book I think you could not appreciate all the little inuendos...but could still walk away with a great feeling of true love for these characters. Great job can't wait for the next one.
