This movie was terrific. Edward was everything we hoped, as were his family members. I recommend reading the book first if you haven't. It will enhance your movie experience. Some of the smoldering looks are especially meaningful if you know the backstory behind them. They left out some important scenes, but took very few liberties -- I thought they followed the book closely. I would recommend the movie highly. My only casting reservation was with Jacob. He didn't look like I expected, and there wasn't the tension I was expecting between him and Edward. Also, he's not how I pictured him. Bella, too, was not quite what I was expecting. She's not as clutzy as in the book, for instance. Definitely, Edward steals the show!
