The whole point of a movie derived from a book series is to explain the story without having to read the book and still keep the Plot and storyline alive while changing a few details. If you did not read the book "Twilight", such as myself, you will not be able to understand a single scene. The storyline was completely unclear and vague, and even by the end of the film, I had no clue what was going on. In addition, even the comedial parts were not fully explained, leaving the viewer to fill in all of the details. Each scene with the vampires' "superpowers" were neither breath-taking nor realistic. Not recommended.
