Not only has this been the best movie of the series so far, it is the most true to the books I've ever seen. Possible out of any book to movie adaptation. I can't even imagine how wonderful the second part will be when the action comes into full play. I am definitely seeing this movie again... and again. and again. For once, this movie made me feel how I felt reading the books and I couldn't be happier with it. I wish they had combined the parts... I would've gladly sat through even 12 hours of that if I had to.
My friend and I tried to go into this movie with low expectations, because we're huge fans of the books and didn't wanna be disappointed if the movie wasn't perfect.
I do admit, there were a few scenes missing... but it's hardly noticeable, because everything in the movie did cover the book. Except I was waiting for Bella to tell Edward he dazzles her haha because I was seriously dazzled the WHOLE movie. Perfect casting.
Don't be knit-picky about this movie. You'll ruin it for yourself.
Go see this. It's the perfect base movie to kick off the rest of the series.
You might think I'm a little bias because I went into this movie super excited and already a huge hsm fan. But I honestly think this movie could convert an anti-wildcat to a fan. This movie was so amazing, I don't even know where to begin. You can tell how extremely hard everyone worked to do this. All the numbers were so visually arresting, you're sucked into the movie and everytime a song ends, you're left with your jaw on the ground. They stepped it up BIG TIME for this movie, the talent just makes you want to stand and applaud. And our audience did.
I know I have to see it at least 2 more times before it leaves theaters!
