This was a really good movie although they did rush a lot of important scenes. You should definitely read the book first because they leave some really important details out of the story. All the characters at her new school are somewhat pushy compared to the books. The relationship between Bella and Edward is also made to seem slightly awkward but it works really well. However, I loved their portrayal of Jasper and Emmett. Jackson Rathbone (Jasper) does a wonderful job of being wary of Bella because he is the newest 'vegetarian'. Although it seemed somewhat rushed, this was a great movie. I recommend it to every one who has read the books.
