My new favorite movie...it was excellent! Stayed closely to the story in the book...and I should know...I've read them 6 times! The action was great and the characters were even better than in the first movie (Twilight). I'm a Twi-Mom who recommends this series of books AND the movies to all my friends. I've seen the movie 3 times now, taking other family members along each time to share the excitement.
