Though some things are altered from the book, it stayed true to it's roots and the only drawback was the HOARD of screaming teenage girls we had to wade through to get our seat. Every time a character was introduced, there would be gasps, claps, and screams. UGH. But, it was WELL WORTH THE TWEEN MAYHEM. I loved it. My husband, surprisingly, loved it. I was worried that the love between Edward and Bella wouldn't come across enough to justify her being ok that he was a vampire, but the chemistry was palpable. Incredible. Fantastic. I can't wait for the second.
