The movie wasn't exactly what I expected. There were a lot of liberties taken and it strayed from the book alot. I think alot of things were left out so they could make the movie stay under the pg-13 rating and it killed the movie. It would have been a lot better if they would have stayed true to the book. I liked it alright it's just having read the books repeatedly it didn't excite me as much as I had wanted. Hopefully they didn't screw up the second half.
The movie overall was good, but it was definitely not the best one yet. There were a lot of changes made to this one from the book and I found it to be almost boring at times. I was so excited for this film because of the reviews it had gotten and I was a little disappointed that it wasn't closer to the book. The first two movies were dead - on. This one, not so much. I will watch again and would recommend it to my friends, however I think they could have done a better job. I'm hoping that Breaking Dawn will be much better, especially since they are breaking it up into two movies so maybe they won't have to omit so much due to time constraint.
