icing for the fans

Rating: 6/10 (17 November 2011)

I read a review last night where the reviewer said, "this movie is the highlight for the story." I think this is a fair judgment. If you had read the book and loved it, then this movie will treat you greatly. It is made for the fans. Fans who know exactly how each conversation between the characters goes, so that they can use their imagination to fill in the gaps.Because there are gaps that I don't see how someone who has jumped the 'Twilight' wagon with this movie can possibly deal with. It was visually very pleasing. The wolves are back and very much in action (more than the books let them). I loved it; I was always one for the wolves. The breaking away of Jacob, the second alpha was interesting, though could have been done more interestingly. I liked the imprinting part. We also get to see glimpses of Renesme. I think they have done her justice.
The best part of the movie was Bella's transformation. She is one damn pretty vampire.
Oh, and Stephanie Myer appears as one of the wedding guests, which I thought was a nice touch.
