Okay so I'm a HUGE fan of the twilight books. I never went into the theater with high expectations, but I was pleasently surprised. I thought the actors did a really good job. The romance parts were excellent. The story line was very fast, and it doesn't let you see the true development of the relationship between Edward and Bella. And also I didn't like the fact that James, Victoria and Laurent came into the story too soon. They were supposed to be just passing through and then heard the baseball game. All the same I did really like the movie itself, even if I did have to explain some of the movie to my friends who didn't read the book. I say go see it, but with an open mind. Movies never catch EVERYTHING that is said in the book.
