Wolf Pack Does Not Disappoint
PostedNovember 20, 2009

The movie did not start until 12:45 a.m., then showing five or six previews (yikes), but the 2 h 10 min movie had a good flow. The struggle Jacob experienced realizing he is a werewolf and having to join a pack came across, and more time was spent on that than on the Cullen family or the Volturi. Jacob looks buff (Hulk?), so when we see Edward walking into the sunlight to reveal himself as a vampire, Edward looked kind of scrawny in comparison (sorry Edward). However, keeping in mind that he suffered leaving Bella, the agonized look and speech fit the scene; and it leaves me with hope for recovery in Eclipse (for Bella, of course). Kristen Stewart was great, as well as the rest of the cast. Loved Billy Burke as Charlie Swan.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Follows the book but missing the big scenes

The movie follows the book almost to a T, but major action scenes were missing. Viewers who did not read the book may find this movie to be their least favorite of all six. Malfoy's closet/portal scenes were too many, and the elaborate funeral scene at the end should have been included. This movie was missing the eerie mood when revisiting Tom Riddle's past. Applause for Ron Weasley and Hermione. Bellatrix seems almost annoying and one wonders why she has any power at all over others. It was not done well. Pressure on Malfoy was not explained well. Hagid's spider scene could have been cut shorter in order to make time for the grander action scenes. In summary, I was not holding my breath in any scenes, but the book was followed well.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
