As is typical in instances where a book is made into a movie, the book was better. The movie was great. I've seen it twice already. I think you had to read the book to truly appreciate the movie. Robert Pattinson and Peter Facinelli were the best actors in the cast. Kristen Stewart was good, but I thought she was a little flat and I didn't think she represented the lovey-dovey feelings that Bella had for Edward in the book. Rosalie was OK. She was very mean as described in the book, but was not as beautiful as one would have expected after reading the book. All in all, a great film. It achieved what it was expected to achieve. Can't wait to see New Moon.
