I saw this yesterday. I've read all the books--twice now. Yes, there were things left out. There always are. And there were some additions--I think in order to compact some things together. It was an enjoyable movie and I thought Pattinson did a good job capturing the essence of Edward Cullen. But I wish all of the characters, especially Edward's family, had more depth. There was so much more to them in the book. In the movie, they were cut-outs.
Overall, I enjoyed it. I'll probably get the DVD. I almost want to see it again not because I was so overwhelmed by the movie, but because I want to figure out how or why the screenwriter chose what he chose and why the director did what she did. For those that either haven't seen the movie yet or haven't read the book (or both), I'll just say this: the meadow...really? Coulda been better.

It's even better the second time ;o) I'm ready to go a third! I think I had low expectations...so it exceeded them for me! And it had been a year since I read the book so I had forgotten details.
I heard that from another friend--that it was better the second time. I should've gone with Chris yesterday so I could spy on his friends...um...I mean...see the movie again. ;-)
