The movie was a bit choppy I thought. It seemed to put parts from the book out of order, and didn't flow as nicely as the book did. I did like seeing more of the dark side of things...the volturi and the newborns, but I miss the flow of the book and the subtle humor in the interaction between the characters. It has some AMAZING CGI effects and was really good at action in parts, but again choppy and just not completely fulfilling what I wanted from reading the book. The romance....HOT HOT HOT! The way that Robert and Kristen portray Edward and Bella is perfect! The intensity they have onscreen truly does the characters justice and for that I do recommend this movie to any twihard fan! :o)
