i think that if i hadnt read all 4 of the books and went and saw this movie I would have been drawn away from reading the books in general. i think the movie got the plot of this first book and it was a lenghty movie but that doesnt mean it included every great detail that stephanie meyer included in her books. charecter developement was lacking and it just seemed like there were awkward moments in the begining. if i could change anything about the movie i would have them take more out of the charecter personas and create the proper atmosphere and have certain things happen in the actual places. overall i appreciated the movie because i am such a fan of the books but it just wasnt all i hoped it to be.
