Great movie if you are detached from the book.

Rating: 8/10 (2 July 2010)

Much better acting, great graphics, outstanding music....but it was VERY different from the events in the book. This (out of all the books) developed Bella and Edward's characters the most and I feel that all got lost with the numerous changes made for the movie.
However, the movie by itself, is the best of the three. The budget increase was evident in the improved CGI. But in the most dramatic scenes, the background looked so obviously fake that it took away from the most pivotal acting. Oh, and Kristen Stewart's wig looked atrocious during the entire fight sequence.
There were a couple of pleasant surprises that book-fans will really appreciate! (okay, so I didn't really put any spoilers, but I was afraid of getting booted)
