Big fan of the books! Had high expectations, but was a little worried about scenes with the newborns in Seattle since the book is Bella's perspective. However, for those of you worried about that, I think it was done very well. Just enough so non-readers arent confused, but no too much to ruin it.
The beginning seemed very rushed as I was watching it, but considering the size of the book, I think they did a fine job cutting out the not so important stuff. But, this is probably what made it seem to not flow so well at the start.
But overall very well done and I cant wait for the 2 parts of Breaking Dawn!
Despite the lower budget and the fact most of the actors had not done too many "big" parts, this movie was great! Rob and Kristen had such wonderful chemistry on the screen; it really helped the story, so real in our minds, come out. Kristen was exactly what I pictured as Bella when I had read the book and though Robert was not what I pictured initially, he very quickly moved into my vision. He is and will forever be my Edward. And, though they did cut out a lot of the remarks between Bella and Edward that helped make their relationship so irresistible, they did a good job of sticking to the book as much as possible. Giving how well it did at the box office, I am even more looking forward to the next one!!!
