I am first and for most a fan of the books! I followed twilight through its conception. I have to say Catherine Hardwicke did an excellent job with what she had to work with. I recently purchased a LED TV and started to watch Twilight and then New Moon on blue-ray. Twilight is visually more spectacular by far!!! The changes to the movie versus the books were inevitable. With the budget constraints that were imposed she did a tremendous job! If it was completely horrible we would not be looking at the hysteria that has manifested from not only fans of the books! I like to look at things as a whole, Stephanie Meyer approved the changes so they were not totally against the grain of the books. The only thing that I didn't like in the changes was the portrayal of Edward as a weaker character than he is in the books!
