SPOILER WARNING!

I've decided to push the thought of the Twilight movie to the very back of my mind - I expected a looong wait. And yet, towards the end of the abnormally long 1st post New Year workweek, I got it!
It's as good as I expected; judging from the trailers and clips I've seen before. And I agree with most of the reviewers -- Kristen and Robert did a great job, especially Kristen. She got both the ordinariness and the depth of Bella. As for Robert, I'd say that he was more reserved than he should have been; I'm afraid that most of the time the nonTwilight fans of the audience wouldn't get him. I guess that it is for that part of the viewers that we have that scene in the forest (it's in one of the trailers, too) when Bella says that she knows what he is. That looked a bit cheap to me.
Apart from that, I think the movie is very true to the book; all that should be in the movie is there. The casing is great, all vampires (nomads included) look like the classic Hollywood stars (as they should). I would have liked to see a bit more of them, it wouldn't have taken so much time. I'm a bit unhappy with Charlie: I don't know if it's the casting or the script, but he came across as too sad and unemotional. OK, Charlie is like that, but not to that extent.
Cinematography is fabulous. Loved the scenic shots. The way that they filmed the vampires walking was great as well. Maybe the battle scene in the end, in the ballet studio, left something to be desired in the realistic corner, but that's not the most important thing. It's a book about two people finding each other and trying to deal with the consequences. The movie is about the same.
And I'd see it again. And again.
