I was more excited than I can express to see Twilight since I read the whole series and ADORED it. However, I was very disappointed by the movie. The story line was jumpy and if you didn't read the books you would've been lost. The passion which was so overwhelming in the book fell very short in the movie. The camera spent most of its time on up close shots, the dialogue was poor and the character explainations were weak. If you loved the books, it is a given that you will have to see the movie. Just don't get your hopes up, you wil be left longing for the connection between Bella and Edward that you remember.
