Even though I know the story, I was on the edge of my seat much of the time. The production on this film seemed much better than the previous films (though I have enjoyed them all.) The actors have really developed their talents as they have grown. I am anxious for the final installment - but a little sad to see them end.
I really enjoyed the movie and it was especially fun to watch with my "tween" daughter. For a two hour film - the movie was an excellent adaptation to the book. My only criticism would be that the vampire make-up and hair were a little "over the top," and as a result, the Cullens really, really stood out. It was still a fun film and I thought the actors did a terrific job portraying their characters and the chemistry!
