I am a fan of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series and I really enjoyed reading the books. Last week I went and saw the movie of Twilight in theaters. I really did like the movie. I thought it was exciting, interesting, and pretty well done. But it also, as it is to be expected, flawed.
One of the things that bothered me most was that the movie left so much out that was important in the book. I understand that it is pretty much impossible to take a book and put every single detail from it into a movie, but I think that there were too many important things left out.
In the movie, you never really get a chance to learn about the vampires. They are there, but you don't get to understand them. You never find out how each of the Cullens were turned into vampires. You never even find out that Jasper has a power.
I didn't really like Kirsten Stewart in the role of Bella. She is not really at all what I imagined her like. Bella wasn't as endearing in the movie. I did like the rest of the cast, especially Robert Pattinson, who plays Edward. He did a really good job portraying Edward. I also really liked Taylor Lautner as Jacob. The way the movie set up Edward and Jacob's dislike for one another made me really excited to see New Moon.
I didn't realize until I'd seen the movie for the second time just how much was left out. Bella and Edward's relationship is a little too different. It comes across that they don't love each other as much for their minds or their good qualities as they do for the fact that each is beautiful. In the book, you know that it is more then that by their conversations, the way they respect each other, and how they think of each other. This was one thing that bothered me during the movie.
I did really enjoy the movie, but, like I've said about thousands of movies, the book was way better.

I agree with you. It botherd me that the producer left out so much. Like the seen when Bella almost fainted when they had to prick there fingers. They left it out!
I loved Kristen Stewert as Bella. I think she did a great job besides her mouth being opened the whole movie in "confusion." Thats all I have to say. Oh yes, one more thing. When Edward showed her what he looked like in the sun, it just looked like he was sweaty. I imagined him to be coverd head to toe in gold dimonds. But thats just me:)
