The movie stayed pretty true to the book with just a couple of not terribly important exceptions. The makeup and special effects were much better than the previous two films. Kristen Stewart was still pretty terrible, but the rest of the actors really shined (especially the Cullens). I don't usually enjoy battle/fight scenes, but I loved how the one in this movie was exciting and done in a different way than I've ever seen before. This movie definitely did not disappoint.
