I first watched this film before I had read the books, and although I enjoyed the romance element of it I didn't fully "get" it. I was told to read the books, which I did and was hooked from page one, I then re-watched the film and completely fell in love with it now that I understood the back story to it.

Is pretty true to the book, one of the truest adaptations I have seen, although 1 scene is not from the book, and I would have liked to see a particular classroom scene from the book instead of what they did in the film (should have been blood typing rather than recycling scene)

If you are going to buy Twilight on DVD and you have been swept up in the Twilight Saga phenominem I would wholeheartedly suggest the 2 disc version because there are hours of extras which are really interesting. If extras don't bother you maybe go for the cheaper 1 disc edition

anyone who says this film is terrible... ignore them, it is brilliant i went to the cinema twice to see this film, at first i thought i wasn;t going to like it but man am i glad i let my sister drag me there, i pre-ordered the dvd as soon as it came up through play, i have also seen the sequel new moon and it is also amazing, iv'e got all the books which are even more fantastic. a must see for everyone

The characters are perfect choices and after reading the books then watching this and new moon i felt as if i'd seen the movie before from my experience of reading the book. They have captured meyer's world perfectly but, of course, it cannot be compared to the book. I feel the best picks were Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black and Ashley Greene as Alice Cullen. Of course, Robert Pattinson looks perfect when he is all edward-fied and just like the book explains. The extras are really great if you are a big fan and provide loads of facts and stuff a fan should need to know.
