The movie was good even though it was different from the book. It would have had to be way too long to get all of the book in there. They did skip a few things I felt were important, such as the explanation of "Twilight". It was very good and even my 15 year old son who has not read the book enjoyed it. I know they had a small budget for this film and hopefully now that they have the feedback from the fans and know how devoted we are they will go further with the rest of the books! I enjoyed it and am glad we saw it.
