The movie was amazing for fans of the book, good for non-fans and far better than 'Twilight' in every way. The acting was good, the characters were believable and the dialogue did not seem forced. The movie looked great, the sets, the make-up, the cinematography and the special effects; though there were a few flaws with the CGI. The pacing was probably slow for non-fans but not bad overall. The story stayed true to the source material. There was some humor; Twilight was unintentionally funny (for all the wrong reasons). There was enough Edward to not miss R.P. but not enough to take away from his absence in the book. Eye candy = win!
I think this movie is best suited for women, but is not a total snooze-fest for guys.
