Perhaps it's because I read the book first, but I have to say that I was really disappointed with the movie. For those who have not read the book it may have been a different experience. I thought that the showdown between Edward and James would have been much more fierce. We didn't even see them show any teeth! Also, I thought that Victoria's hair should have been FIERY red - instead it looked almost strawberry blond. Also, I had a hard time believing the chemistry between Edward and Bella which I think came across much more intensely in the books. I will say that they did a good job picking Jacob's character. What a cutie pie! He looks pretty much how I would have imagined him.
