A Movie of Missed Opportunities.
PostedNovember 21, 2008

from Pickerington, OH
While a film is rarely able to compare to the experience of reading a book, this film had the opportunity, but in the end, failed to rise to its potential. There were certain scenes in the film that could have been exactly as they were in the book, but for some reason or another, key elements were changed or completely omitted. Scenes were unnecessarily added, which I find frustrating, as those moments could have been used to include more important scenes from the book. If the lack of accuracy is a result of time constraints, then the added scenes only prohibited the film’s ability to stand up to the expectations of the readers. On the upside, the casting of Stewart and Pattinson provided at least one redeeming quality.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
