The movie was WONDERFUL! They pulled all the most important elements from the book and let it shine. ALL of the actors did a fantastic job with their characters! Things I enjoyed the most: funny, true to the book, baseball scene, kissing scene-intense, and Mike- better defined and likable. Bottom line: Twilight successfully embodies the characters and emotions so eloquently described in Mrs Meyer's book. Even those unfamiliar with the series will enjoy the movie, but it won't be as funny to them. Twilight has even won over my husband, who wasn't at all interested before seeing the movie. He and I anxiously await New Moon!!!!
