Loved the books as much as my daughters. Went to the movie with low expectations, didn't think there was any way to capture the book on film. Because of the low expectations it turned out to be a fun movie. I thought Edward was great. Jasper was interesting. I couldn't understand why everyone in the movie liked Bella, there was no substance to her. She hardly talked, never laughed, we didn't get to see her being accident-prone. There was some funny stuff, exciting moments, and good visual effects.
