Going into this movie after reading the books we were prepared for things to be different or missing. Although this was the case, it did not impact the integrity of the story. However, there were parts of the movie that the camerawork was so shaky I got dizzy watching it and had to look away. This was meant for affect and instead brought the movie down on the rating scale for me.
1000x's better than Twilight. Although I did like Twilight there was something lacking. Chris Wietz did a Fabulous job intertwining the two and staying true to the book this time.
The special effects could have gone 1 of 2 ways; really great or really cheesy. They were really great:) At one point I had the thought that the wolves were going to jump right out of the screen and into the theater.
Way to go to all of those involved in making this so much better than the first and restoring everyone's faith in these movies
I absolutely loved this movie. I was not disappointed in the least. I went in knowing that it was not going to be like the book. I do agree that if you have not read Twilight the movie will confuse you. Really there is just no way to fit all 500 pages into a 2 HR movie. I think they chose the most important parts to put in. But, because of that there are parts that just do not make sense if you have never read the book. If you did see it without reading the book first. You must go home and do so!! It will answer a lot of questions.
