It's hard for any Twilight Saga fan to write an unbiased review of the movie. That being said, I don't think that the average movie goer will appreciate this movie as much as the book fans. It is obvious that the director capitalized on the Edward Effect -- the longing looks, the slow mo shots -- all of which are worth my price of admission alone, but not for someone coming off the street out of curiosity. The books are always better, which is definitely the case here. Most scenes may come off corny to some, but for the true fans, having the book come to life on the big screen is worth every minute of this 2-hour movie! :-0
