I personally couldn't read through the books. I got halfway through twighlight and gave up so when I take my fiancé to see the movies I don't really know what to expect. The movie was okay for a love story but weird with the love triangle. As for a vampire movie I wouldn't really rate it a top notch vampire movie and by the reactions to Bella drinking blood by a decent percentage of the audience, I really don't think most of the crowd is really going for a vampire movie. Overall the movie wasn't horribly bad. It had some great aspects to it. The love scene was done well. The sickness from the baby was done well. Seemed as if they put some effort into bringing this movie to life.
