what is expected

Rating: 5/10 (20 November 2011)

I watched it yesterday. Now there is this, I don't want to call it boring, but rather lacking in action. Especially in the first half, they dealt with wedding and honeymoon scenes. Therefore, as a result, people who want action are bored of these scenes, including myself as well. However, at least they were loyal to the book and the wedding and honeymoon scenes were handled in a detailed way. I think this is something positive for the people who think that movies should be loyal to their books - but then again of course not every detail could be screened.
There was more action in the second half, especially with the birth scene. It was actually one of the few scenes that i was awaiting in the film. In addition, I think they were really successful at making Bella look much slimmer, because while watching the movie I did not understand that it was a computer effect. The computer effects were in general successful, especially in the wolf scenes, just like the other films of the series.
And there is also another point that from such a book, such a move would be expected. I did not have high expectations considering it was the "first part", so I was not disappointed. Was it a really good movie? No, but I think it was successful considering the book. I think what should be focused on is how the book is translated onto the film, since the topic of the book is what was handled in the movie.
