I really liked the first book, it kept me intrigued to the end, so hopefully the rest of the books will be that way.
I saw the cast of characters for the movie, and i'm really disappointed. I saw a more Hayden Christiansen looking person for Edward, not Cedric from Harry Potter
Kristen Stewart looks like an interesting Bella, not quite what I would have expected, but at least she's in the age range that Bella is (vs being a 28 year old playing a teenager)
Nikki Reed (aka the skanky girl from the movie Thirteen) is sooooooo not a Rosalie!! And as a blonde....barf!!!
and Peter Facinelli for Carlisle?? Really?

The cast was a HUGE disappointment for me!! I have such a vivid imagination, and when I read, it's like there's a mini movie playing in my head. The appearances of the vampires are so specific in the book, yet the on-screen portrayal looks nothing like I imagined. I mean, the actor playing Carlisle is 34! A good 10 years older than the character...ugh
In one of my Twilight MySpace groups, I commented on how I didn't think anyone looked right, and all these 16 and 17 yr olds started going berserko!! One even replied with "I don’t think your face looks right, especially the ugly words coming out of your mouth, either stand by it or don’t go see it, don’t sit and complain. I’ve had enough of the stupid haters."
I actually was so bored one night that I scoured the interwebz looking for who I thought should have been cast where. lol I'll share my picks if y'all are interested.
