I will have to admit that it followed the book very well. There were some small changes, which I understand, that didn't go along with the book. I would have to say it is a great movie to watch. Two major flaws I saw. Kristen definitely should have acted better when Edward left. HARDLY any real emotion there. I also think the vampires should have been more white. There were some scenes I could hardly tell they were different from humans except for their eyes, which was a great addition from the last movie. The La Push Gang and the Volturi...two thumbs up. I only gave it 4 stars because of the emotion scenes with Kristen...the rest of the movie was really great. :) I will definitely see it again.
