Enjoyed it, would recommend

I saw this movie with my teenage daughter and we both enjoyed it very much. It did have some scene transition problems, where I thought "huh?", and later my daughter clued me in (she's read all the books) and that helped. It would be better if they were more careful in making the movie, it should stand on its own and not need someone to "fill in the blanks" from having read the book. I did especially like Jacob's character in this movie, I thought he did a fine job. Edward seemed to be lacking some appeal this time, but I think that was intentional, so that Bella could be more easily -- er -- "distracted."
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Some questions but it's still HP and entertaining!

I have not read the book, although my kids and husband have. I had a number of questions that arose during the movie, because things were not clear just from watching the movie (and past HP movies), and my family felt that they left out too much of the book. They are wondering how the next movies are going to cover it all. From my standpoint, though, it was still very entertaining, and I have to judge it on its own merits as a movie, not as a book-to-script translation. In this regard, in spite of some areas that left questions unanswered, I was entertained and enjoyed the movie, quirky humor and all, and look forward to the next HP movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
