Excellent

I was a bit worried when I heard they were splitting the final book into two parts. I needn't have... While (properly) missing most of the humor in the previous films, DH part 1 keeps the audience rivited from start to finish. The only thing I would remove is the cheesy dance scene that looks ridiculous and forced. That aside, a great effort that has me eager for part 2.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The movie started off a tad slow, but it gained ground quickly and built up to its fantastic finish. The special effects were as incredible as all the hype led us to believe, and I found the storyline, while predictable, quite rewarding. Very nice blockbuster that indeed lives up to its budget and hype. Bravo!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Good Movie Considering Source Material

Having read "New Moon" I can definitely say the movie stays very true to the source material. That is not always a good thing, as "New Moon" was the second weakest book in the series in my opinion. Having said that, the movie does a very good job of moving past some of the slower parts of the novel, while finishing off with a bang. If you can get past the first half of the film (that does its best with what it had to work with), the second part gives a nice payoff and it finishes strong. All in all a good effort.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Above Average to Good Film

Title says it all. A bit disappointing for me as I am a big Neil Gaiman fan, but still the movie had its moments. A bit slow at times, but the technology used has to be admired if nothing else.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
