This 50 year old loved the movie! The actors portrayed the characters in the book perfectly. I am not sure however, if someone who has not read the book would have enjoyed it as much because the story moved so fast and without the insight from the book might be hard to follow. I felt like the movie could have been longer and I am hoping the next movie is! My favorite character, after Bella and Edward of course, is Alice and her character could have been played up more! Overall, the movie was most enjoyabe and I will go and see it again!
