I thought this was a really good movie, considering the budget they had. I thought it moved a little too fast, though, and it was hard to see the chemistry between Edward/Robert and Bella/Kristen. I know there was a lot left out, but making a book into a movie is a hard task in itself. And of course the meadow scene was a little disappointing. But all in all, I really loved the movie. The actors fit the parts amazingly well and I thought the special effects were really good! I'm definitely going to see it multiple times! Your best bet is to just go into the movie with an open mind, forget about the book, and enjoy the movie on the screen in front of you for what it's worth.
