I finally watched the movie this afternoon. Much anticipated, much debated, much enjoyed! There were only 2 things I would have changed- let me cast it-some characters were perfect (i.e., Charlie, Jacob, Alice, Vanessa and a few others) and some were just not what I pictured at all but still I was able to adjust and live with it and love them anyway (i.e. Bella, Edward- to be fair, no one could have played Edward to my heart's content, except maybe my Jas as a vampire.... and I wanna be Bella.) I also would have kept the cameras off of the legs as Edward was running and done some "flash" sort of movement stuff rather than trying to make the fake speed look real. OK, OK, THREE things- I wanted his skin to be much bigger diamonds and much more brilliant, almost to blinding- I was picturing 5 carat diamonds all reflecting off tinfoil or something, not just a diamond rub.
Overall though I would have to say that I will buy the DVD and though a movie can never compete with a book (or I have yet to experience it) this stayed true enough that I still love the story and the characters (even though I hate vampire movies- I wonder how Stephanie Meyer came up with the perfect "good and pure" vampire as an idea? I personally think vampires may be the next stage in our evolution to perfection!)
Your thoughts?

I totally agree. Me and my girls absolutely loved the movie. Zimra had not read the book, but now that she has seen the movie, she finally agreed to read it and loves it.
I agree Edward totally needed to be more shiny! I loved the movie the second time i watch it but the first time i could not get over how cheese they made it.
