It was very close to the book, but with a few more action scenes - like a physical fight with the Voltori. I have to agree with those who said the makeup wasn't as good on the vampires. The sparkles were fine, in my opinion, but the vampires just didn't look as beautiful as they're supposed to. As for the dude that said middle aged housewives should get a life, excuse me? Bad - mouthed idiots, like you, should get some manners. The target audience might be teenagers, but it's a movie all ages can enjoy.
