The movie was pretty good. It did follow the book for the most part, and I'd have to say that if you're going to watch it you should definately read the book first. The book is way more descriptive and it will make the movie a much more rewarding experience. There are parts in the movie that only someone who'd read the book would get. James, Charlie, Edward, Victoria, and Rosalie did an amazing job with the character acting. I couldn't imagine better people for the parts. If you're really a Twilight fan, you'll see this movie.
