James and gang didn't have that big a role in the book, not needed in film. One of the best parts of the book was science class blood typing, feel that should have been in the movie. Without giving away a lot movie, Rob,not who I saw as Edward but he does an awesome job, especially first encounter in Science class. Characters are raw /passionate. Actors did an excellent job of owning their parts. They truelly transformed the characters for me. Now when I re-read the books-I will vision things differently. If you haven't read books-you will see it as an awesome movie. I rated it good because the movie never as good as the books. Great Cameo Stephenie! Like the way they ended the film- ready for #2!
