Worth 10 bucks for fans

Is it worth your money and time? Yes, if you read the books and want to see it on the big screen. But, for the average Jo they will be left wanting. It follows the book closely and is a plot driven move; mostly at the expense of artistic touches that are present in the first move. Gone is the romantic misty blue gray tone and moments held together with interesting camera angles and music. What you get instead is a movie that is trying too hard to be a blockbuster hit. It has some good action sequences, interesting special effects and lots of bare chests. What you are left with is a real on screen connection between Jacob and Bella. The character of Jacob Black played by Taylor Lautner steals the show.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Very Entertaining, but long

I put movies into two main catigories;
1. Art films- thought provoking, self-reflecting, meaningfull films
2. Entertainment
This film very clearly fits as entertainment. It has a great story (thanks to the book). It is very well acted. It serves as a good progression from the others and lets face it if your a Harry Potter fan you got to see it anyway.
The question is: is it worth the money to see on the big screen? Yes! if you do not you will wish you had when you rent it at home.
Family friendly: yes, but it is much more teen driven, (lots of kissing). My 5 year old was not interested. It is also very long so leave the young ones at home.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
