I went into this with an open mind because I knew that there would be some stuff that wasnt included. Aside from that obvious aspect of converting a book to a movie, I thought it was great. The characters grew and the story was beautiful. Of course another thing you can avoid with going from book to movie is the pace and how long they pay attention to one or some details. I thought the pace was a tad too fast and that some of the helpful dialog in the book was overlooked. BUT, that movie was genius. The only thing I was unsure about it was how they would end the movie, which I was completely suprised with. I enjoyed everything about this movie and I can not wait for the 3rd, 4th, and hopefully a 5th one. New Moon is the love :)
