If you've read the Twilight Saga, then you would've seen the differences, such as: the whole army thing was a tad bit different. But there weren't any major differences, overall I think this movie followed the books better than the first two; but I still would prefer the books over the movie. Would I see it again? Yes. Would I recommend it to a friend? Yes. I do, however, like how they portrayed Jacob/Jasper in this movie. I felt that in the past two movies they were lacking in character a little. Jaspers story did go the way I imagined-I liked to finally have a movie scene to relate it to rather tan just the thoughts in my head; the same goes with Rosalie's story. But I still think Jasper needs to show more emotion in the movie's, he still looks too stiff at times. I understand that he's a new vampire and that Bella's scent/blood makes him want to kill her constantly, but in the books it didn't seem like he was always so distant. Could be just me, I don't know. But like I said earlier, this is the best movie so far, but I still recommend that people read the books prior to seeing the movie.
