I only read the first half of the first book. I didn't finish it because it bored me. When it comes to the film series I watched the first and third one. Since this question concerns the first movie I have to say I liked it better than the book but the plot/characters just didn't impress me much. Robert and Kristen were pretty good as the main characters but still.... The third one was mediocre and there were many scenes which made me go, "Awkward!". That's when I decided once and for all that Twilight wasn't my cup of tea.
