The movies are never as good as the books! However, when taken as a separate entity from the book - I found "Twilight" delivered the story well. The casting for this movie is AMAZING - not just with the primary characters but also with the secondary characters, which are just as important to the story telling. I've been listening to the music for weeks, and enjoyed seeing where each song fit into the movie. BUT - the most important part of this movie was the chemistry between Bella and Edward. AWESOME is the only word that comes to mind for me seeing these two on screen! I loved the movie and would go see it a second, third, time!!
