I tried not to compare the movie to the book, I went in wanting to take in the movie as its own way of telling the story. I did think it conveyed alot of the story in the book, but just with choppy details. Bella and Edward seemed smothery. Movie overplayed Edwards jealousy, made it seem more odd than out of love, Edward and Bella seemed detatched, like they WERE acting.The entire movie felt choppy, with no flow. A person who has not read the book would have been lost, feeling like scenes were left out. Felt like they added scenes to plug info in that was necessary, but just not fluid with movie. Some one who hasnt read the books needs to watch these movies before they come out to ensure that its movie quality and not just "scenes from the book" Which is what this movie felt like to me.
