I was surprised how true to the book this movie was. That being said, if you have not read the books, I cannot imagine you will love the movie as much as someone who has.
Kristen Stewart continues to be too wooden for my taste (what does it take for her to tear up for cripe sake?!). But fortunately this movie was really Taylor's. And I though the did a terrific job as Jacob. He was true to the character in every way.
If you enjoy the books, you will not be disappointed by this movie.
Sure, it's not going to measuer up to the book... but they did a great job overall!
It was short on battle scenes but I'm guessing they're really going to build up that aspect in the next two movies.
What I loved most was how much the three main actors are coming into their own. We got to see more of Draco who really performed well in this. And Ron Weasely really shined in this movie!
The supporting actors are the best and I was glad to see more of them in this movie. We barely heard a syllable from any of them in the last movie!
