As a true fan of the Twilight Saga (I have now read them all several times) I was awaiting the release of the movie with baited breath. It stuck to the basics and the premise of the story very well. If someone were to go see Twilight not having read the book they may have been a little lost though. I understand they had to condense the book down into a two hour movie but there were some things left out and others added that almost seemed to detract from the story. Overall I thought the movie was great and I would go see it again; but I feel there were some things that could have been done differently that could have made the story come to life on screen a lot better.
