My husband and I have both read the Twilight books and were pleasantly surprised by the movie. It stayed very true to the book, and the changes that were made to make it fit the time limit didn't change the whole point. It just got to it a little faster. I didn't really see Kristen Stewart as a good Bella in the trailers, but I ended up thinking she fit the character pretty well. Robert Pattinson was very good as Edward, and the rest of the cast fit very nicely as well. I also thought the director hit the nail on the head on what the high school dynamic is like. I'm excited about the other movies.
