Beautiful, True to the Book...I liked it

Rating: 10/10 (23 November 2009)

I couldn't believe how many bad reviews I've read over this site. The film was actually quite good, maybe a little slow, but still good. For one the acting was SO much better this film, I was surprised, happily surprised. From a technical point of view it was fantastic...the shots were seamless, and the slow-motion was fantastic (and I'm not a huge fan of slow mo shots) The writing was true to the book and they kept in all the major aspects to set up the next books. I think people have just been expecting the same feel as Twilight...it's a different director this time naturally the tone of the film will be different, it's just how it is. I thought Weitz portrayed the book well, he kept that semi-detached feeling about it...it was interesting. Also the wolves looked absolutely fantastic, I was surpirsed how well the CGI was. Overall the film is entertaining and true to the novel and I'm excited to see where they go with it.
PLUS who couldn't love the ending??
