My DD and I went to the midnight showing of Twilight because we could not wait one more day to see the much hyped movie. I have been a Twilight fan since my DD bought me the book for Christmas a few years ago. After having read the books, I speculated how they could possibly find the right actor to play Edward. I am pleased to say that Robert Pattinson captured Edward's brooding and passion. Kristen Stewart portrayal of Bella showed a less self conscious young woman, but I believe this was necessary to make the character believable on the big screen. The cinematography was stunning, with the epic appeal of fantasy blockbusters. The story itself was true to the books and scored in a big way with the audience.
