I only read the book 'Twilight' a few weeks before the film came out, but i was quite pleased with the film and how it fitted with the book.
Casting Kirsten Stewart and Robert Pattinson as Bella and Edward, respectively, was a good choice in my opinion. Stewart portrays the ordinary, clumsy newbie to Forks high School, while Pattinson's good looks stand out from the crowd, but are not dramatically exaggerated. In some scenes, you can really feel the sexual tension between them, which is, after all, what the whole book is about.
The only omitted plot i would have liked to have seen in the movie, is the biology class one, where Bella faints.That was a point in the book where their relationship really developed and blossomed.
The casting of Victoria and Laurant were, i thought, perfect, as the wild vampires they meet during the baseball game. In fact, all casting was great except for one... Rosalie. Nikki Reed has the right attitude towards being Rosalie, and her hatred towards Bella, but the in the book, Bella describes her as being 'The most beautiful person I've ever seen', which (sorry Nikki) i don't think Reed lives up to. I could think of better actresses to have played her.
Overall, a great romance thriller, great for any teenager. I've watched it hundreds of times already, mainly just to see Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson. :D
