the movie was a tear jerker and the characters (especially kate, who had the biggest smile always regardless of her situation) were all believable. however, as someone who read the book years ago and enjoyed it thoroughly i could not believe the change in ending and how absolutely different from the book it was. at the end i sat there and just couldnt get over how ruined the movie was for me from the noticeable and horrific change. if you have read the book and enjoyed it go see this movie at a six dollar time or wait for dvd.
to be honest i saw the movie at midnight and left ready to cry because it was so terrible to me. then i saw it again and i thought it was AMAZING! once you get over that it is no where near the book in greatness you can appreciate the acting and story line for what it is. edward was perfect and a dream boat while bella did amazingly well considering i usually dislike her in other movies. see the movie and if you dont like it at first see it again, it makes a huge difference and will dazzle you the second time around.
