Usually when a movie is made on a book I love I sit in the theatre and pick apart the movie. I walk out thinking it was the worst thing ever made and they really shouldnt have messed with the book that way. But suprisingly I didnt with this movie. I love it. I did feel that if you DIDNT read the book you would be lost and may not get it. You may not understand some of the emotions Bella and Edward are feeling. I loved the way the actor portrayed Edward at the beginning when he first encounters bellas smell. I laughed at times, I was on the edge of my seat other times. I walked out wanting to see it all over again. And that in itself says a lot.
