This movie was classic! It was new and refreshing, the story line was unique and the plot was exciting. Anyone who has read the books will love this movie. You definitely would not get as much from the movie if you haven't previously read the novel. There were a lot of "inside jokes" that only the reader would understand. Anyone who hasn't read the book is missing out. The characters selected for the movie were perfect and exactly how I had imagined them. Yes, several things from the book were left out of the movie, but that always happens for time purposes. The important thing is, that the movie was as romantic and exciting as the book and I can't wait to see the movie for New Moon
