Robert Pattinson was the best actor in the movie...obviously what he did to get prepare for the role worked. The movie did skip over a few parts (Alice's backrgound and James' part in it) but the book also moved forward a few months between her first encounter with Edward and the trip to Port Angeles. Great movie, would see it again. The looks Edward gave made you want to be Bella. He's got talent. I've only read Twilgiht, but have already ordered the others!
