The movie is faithful to the book. Casting: Mike was perfect. I wasn’t sure about Charlie, but manner made up the image. Bella was perfect, and all the vamps fit well. Some annoyances-1. The nomads who are suddenly throughout 2. The moments of Edward "watching" Bella through other's minds were cut. 3. Most of Bella's insecurities were masked, like the filmmakers were trying to attract feminists. Overall, I don't think anyone will be disappointed. I recommend reading the book just before watching the film to pick up on the direct pieces of dialogue and small changes from the book. ...as a side note, I dragged my non-reading husband with me, and it’s possible to watch and enjoy the film without reading the book.
