I have just started watching/reading the Twilight series, and must say, when compared to the book, the movie was not all that great. I know that the books are usually better, but there is no contest here. I have to agree with a previous post about Ms Stewart being "emotionless". As you read the books, Bella is FULL of emotion, that's one of the things that keeps you glued to the pages. But when watching her on-screen, I just want to fast-forward past her scenes and get on with the movie. I'm hoping this will change with Breaking Dawn, or I'll have to wait for the DVD so I can fast-forward.
