Some fans of the Twilight book were disappointed in the movie version, and some moviegoers who never read the book were less than impressed with the film. One reason for disliking the movie: Catherine Hardwicke's direction.

First Look: Twilight
Based on the popular young adult book series by Stephenie Meyer, Twilight is one highly anticipated film, especially on the part of MTV which has been reporting on the film's production a lot.
