I really did enjoy the movie and was very excited that it stayed true to the book. I was very disappointed in the portrayal of Edward. It felt very ackward; over the top ackwardness. I was also disappointed in the portrayal of Carlisle. He wasn't what I pictured when I read the books; the actor looked younger than the teenagers. Still, the rest of the characters were portrayed beautifully. The movie was a great experience and I plan to buy the movie on DVD.
