Having read the book, I found that the movie sacrificed a certain amount of the integrity that made it readable in order to become the quintessential "teen movie." In the books Bella was much less of a victim because she was able to save Edward emotionally, psychologically and humanely whereas he was merely able to save her physically. The film failed to mention this point, which I found not only too escapist for my liking, but which I also believe sets a very traditional model for the impressionable female teenage audience it is targeted at, completely disregarding any sense of modern feminism.
