I read a review for this movie right before I went to see it and was disappointed that they said it paled to Twilight. After seeing it, I have to say they were completely wrong. I felt it was better than Twilight. For the most part it followed the book with the parts that didn't being better than the book. Alot more action. Special effects were great! I think that the people (men?) writing these reviews have not read the books and can not appreciate the characters and story.
