Personally, I did not care for the ending and not using characters that were in HP: DH1 such as Alphius Dodge like he was used in the book. Molly Weasley didn't hold Voldemort at bay which was one of my favorite moments to read about. The movie disappointed me because they could have done so much more and could have made it exactly like the book I wish they had. For what it was worth though I first saw it at midnight on July 15, then last night and after the second time seeing it I re-read the ending and it made me mad that I had not seen that on the big screen. Hopefully they re-release the film with an extended version!
This movie stayed true to the plot and essence of the book, I thought. There was no artistic licenses I thought this film took other than the fact that Bryce Dallas Howard was not in the first two films as Victoria. That was the only discrepancy I had with the film. That and the screaming teenage girls whenever Jacob showed up on the screen without his shirt on.
I loved this movie! I read the books a while ago, couldn't really remember some of the stuff that happened in this book but once the film started it all came back! I thought Kristen, Rob Pat & Taylor were amazing in this movie! THEY DID THE MOVIE JUSTICE THIS TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Acting was great, Volturi was amazing, way better director! Great special effects!
