I saw this movie with my wife, who had read the book. She knew what it was about and I did not, but I enjoyed it very much. It was a very good story and presented well. I would recommend this to anyone that enjoys a great story, a rarity these days.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I really enjoyed the book and was excited to see the movie. I was disappointed with the acting and the way that they displayed Wanda's voice. The movie was way too condensed to the point where it felt rushed and lacked fluidity. Anyone who read the book knows how much was left out of the movie. Anyone who hasn't read the book would still be confused on how the feelings of the cast change so softly without proper explanation. That's the thing about making a movie based on a book. The reader is excited to see the story played out visually and is often disappointed when it doesn't turn out the way they thought it would.
Pros great story
Cons bad acting
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I have never read the book and didn't really hear anything about the movie, but when my Aunt and I went, I was really surprised at how good the story line was. The dialogue between Melanie and Wanda got to be a little much but other than that I really liked it.
Pros great story
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I liked the movie, I've read the book twice so I knew what was going to happen. It was good considering how condensed it was from the book. The most disapointing thing for me was Wanda's new character at the end. Totally not what I had envisioned from the book.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

A different kind of romance. Very creative. The special effects were great and you get very involved in the dilemma of whether the main character should be trusted or not. Once again Stephenie Meyer shows her creativity is awesome.
Pros great story

Thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Only negative comment is the second Wanda looked really strange. Not attractive at all. Not close to what I imagined when I read the book.
Pros great story

This movie would make a good rental. It's slow but intriguing. I liked it but wouldn't recommend paying movie prices to see it.
Cons slow
No, I do not recommend this movie.
