I have never read a book and then watched the movie so I was comparing the movie to the book the whole time. Once I tried to not to do that I began to enjoy the movie better. I realized that they can't fit the whole book into 2hrs. Other than that the movie was really good. I will be buying when it comes out on dvd. My 10 year old daughter just loved it and she has never read the book. There was girls in the theater that was actually swooning over Edward. It was cute.
