Great job!

It's got to be hard to condense 439 pages into two hours on film, but David Slade and the cast did it! I think this is the best "Twilight" movie yet! The opening sequence is great - a nice departure from Bella's "flash forward" monologues - and told me straight away this one was going to be a thriller. Having read both the book as well as the "Bree Tanner" novella it was obvious to me which scenes had been cut, combined, etc. but it in no way detracted from the story line. In fact, the three combine in such a fashion that things from the book now make much more sense when presented in a new light. Favourite scene? That's a tough one, but I'd have to say the Volturi watching over the destruction in Seattle is among them, as is the fight scene with the Cullen's and the wolves vs. the newborns - great action and special effects. Also great character development with Jasper and, to an extent, Rosalie, and of course it's great seeing Bella, Edward and Jacob continue to grow into their roles. Noticed a couple of interesting things; Jasper's accent was definitely more Southern US in this film and Carlisle's was a bit old world, but again, that only served to enhance the experience. Overall, two thumbs up and I am definitely looking forward to the next installment!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
