I thought it was great. the casting was awesome and a lot of the scenes were really good including the baseball and ballet studio scenes. I feel as though they put so much work into those that some of the smaller scenes which are the best in the book were left by the wayside. I felt that Edward and Bella needed more time one on one with more romance, cause face it, thats what we all love about the books. so i was a little disappointed in that but overall a really great adaptation. books will always be better but this is one of the best adaptations i've seen in awhile. can't wait for the sequels! P.S. Rob Pattinson is a perfect Edward. EXACTLY as I imagined him while reading the books :)
