Whether you're a previous Twilight fan or not, the movie will be an excellent one to see. There are parts only Twilight readers will understand, but the majority of the movie is understandable to all viewers. I felt the characters were portrayed perfectly by the actors. The movie is different from the book, but we should all expect that. Humor was added to the script, and it fit in well. The main problem many will have is that the movie is more 'grown up' than the book. The movie went by fast, it was hard to believe it was already two hours when it was over, but it was incredible. Overall, Twilight is an amazing movie, and I recommend it to everyone.
