Great movie if you are a big fan of the books!

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2010)

Okay, I am 35 and a huge fan of the books. I agree the acting still isn't the greatest but for anyone wanting the movies to mirror the books, like myself, this was a great film. Kristen Stewart has always bothered me but I think she is getting better and becoming a more believable Bella, especially when she explains to Edward why she really wants to become a vampire. I think the wolves look as real as you can get, and I am a big sci-fi fan, too. From what I have read so far the haters of this movie don't know the deeper story line as they have not read the books. I was really happy how the tent scene and the scene in which Edward buys a bed for Bella's sake both turned out - pretty much as I pictured them. The army of vampires plot and the Volturi visit were a bit skimped on, but this cannot be a 4 hour movie. I went with three younger women and they all loved the movie, too. If you are into the books, you won't be disappointed.
