I think they did a great job of portraying these characters. Although there were some parts of the movie that did not exactly correlate with the book, I do understand that they had to create a 2 hour movie out of a 500 page book...not an easy task!
I loved that Bella was so awkward...and EDWARD....oh man. Edward was just great. The next movies will be just as good I'm sure! My boyfriend even couldn't stop talking about wanting to be a vampire after we saw it!
