Many complains about the movie they saw at the twilight movie because it lacks informations and details of how really the story goes.IN the Book it is more emotional and more exciting to read of day by day,detail by detail. But for me the movie is Good Enough and has its Original Thoughts extracted in the book and made easier to understand.ANYWAY neither the book or the Movie it still give a Big phenomenom Hit to the viewers and readers.

The film was a massive disappointment, I read twilight in 5 days it was so good I couldn't put it down, but watching the film made me want tothrow my shoe at it! The actors were awkward around each other, there was no chemistry at all between Bella and Edward. They changed a lot of the film from the book, i mean come on there was no field trip in the book and many other things were different, I went with a friend who has never read the books and she thought it was pretty good apart fromt the awkward acting, but I think if you read the book with all the detail I think you’ll be dissapointed by the film, i hope that Chris weitz makes New Moon worth watching! Guys..it's based on my personal views....Your views are as good as mine :) Good day everyone!

Always a book is better than a movie but twilight movie is TERRIBLE!!!! i saw the movie first and i think OH is amazing and when i finished the book i was disappointed for the worst work that Catherine Hardwick did, if you see new moon movie and read the book you can see a movie most faithful with the book. Finally i love the books and the actors(L) ( ROBERT PATTINSON hahahahaha) but twilightmovie wasen't a good work not for me. Laura Sanabria.

it depends of the person, what he/she prepared most. other like the movie because it "shows/actual happening" while other like reading it. though book contain whole story without cut. but seeing whats happening is exciting.

i have to agree with that. i think the book is way better than the movie. but the movie is not bad at all. i read the books twice already and it still makes me excited. the movie on the other had is okay. but i dont expect too much about it because i know that 500+ pages cannot be compress into 2hr. movie.

Hi, The book is always better than the movie.. What will you expect from a movie? A movie is like the summary of a book.. If you will plot every detail of the book into movie, that will be a long movie instead of a standard 2-hour movie. So don't expect too much from the movie, they have to extract the important details and give some twist on it..

I love books but I find movies more interesting than reading, I read short documents but when talking about books, perhaps my eyes wouldn't bother to suffer watching small letters on and on. Anyway, the director's usually doesn't follow too much details on the book. Simply because they seem to recreate things to amuse the audiences.

I didn't like the books and I didn't like movies. One thing that I did admire about the films is the fact that the director did not use a filter on the camera. I think that films look so much better without a camera filter.

I think the book is better. There are lots of parts in the book that are not in the movie. Plus imagination is always better. I like reading the book before watching the movie. Because you could completely compare everything. I totally agree with you. I think details are important so you will completely understand it. The movie is good but reading will always be better. Especially for book lovers like me.

I definitely agree with you that the book is a lot better than the movie. However, I also have to say that as far as books that have been made into movies goes, I think that Twilight is definitely one of the best translations from paper to the big screen. The main reason that I feel this way is because of the fact that the movie follows the events of the book pretty well. There is nothing that is really changed from the book to the movie.

Both are good enough for me. I watched Twilight first before I read the book and it was okay. I think its a good representation in the movie of what they have there in the book. Its just that I am nor quite satisfied with the New Moon movie comparing it to the book.

Most of the time the book is better than the movie. We have to understand that it's hard to translate more than 500 pages to a 2 hour movie. And for cinematic purposes, the writer and director would make changes in the movie. For the Twilight saga, i'd say the book is really better than the movie.

The book is always better than the movie. The movie were just mere interpretation of them. We often hear viewers who are unsatisfied of what they saw because they've already formed some interpretation of the scenes back on their minds when they are reading the books.

Yes, The books is quite better than the movies. In the movies, the actor of Edward was not good enough to express the first feeling when Bella come to class the first time. However, there is movie that can do the things that books cannot show all by one or two words. For example, The lord of ring movie express the greedy of eye just in a moment which the book cannot do.
