I'm a huge fan of the written saga so going into the theater I knew I couldn't compare the two but I was pleasantly surprised that the over-all tone of the forbidden love story was there. Also it had some great additions to the things that happened in the book. The love story itself was choppy but the actors chemistry made up for that. It was a good movie. My only problem was it had a limited budget and it showed. I've seen it twice this weekend and plan on going back next weekend so it was so bad I'm staying away.
