I have been a fan of this series of books for a long time now, so I had been waiting anxiously for this movie to hit the theaters. My expectations were cautiously high because I never think a movie is better than the book. This was also true in this case, but if you go to the movie just for the entertainment factor and enjoy getting swept up in the movie, it's so much better than analyzing scene for scene, line for line the movie vs. the book. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have great chemistry and they brought the world of the Cullens to life very well on a tight budget. I was a little perturbed that they ADDED a few things that weren't in the books.
Great movie, really enjoyed it. I hope they do even better with the sequel!
