Better in Every Way

I have to disagree with a few critics and say this movie is far superior to Twilight in every way: the acting is better, the production values are better and the story was presented much more cohesively. As a result, the person I went to see the movie with (who has never read the novels) actually wants to see what happens next. Anyone can enjoy this movie (just accept some seriously sappy lines) and Twilight series fans in general should love the upgrade.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Better than expected

I was pleasantly surprised after reading some surly reviews for this movie. It was neither as hokey nor as cheesy as I expected it to be. I thought the casting was EXCELLENT and so was the book-to-screen adaptation. There were only a couple of pitfalls (some straight-from-the-book dialogue that was put in silly places) but the rest was great. Unlike many people who reviewed the midnight showing, I do not thing the special effects (or lack thereof) are a deterrent. This is a LOW BUDGET film. They didn't have hundreds of millions of dollars to give to ILM to make the running, climbing or fight sequences look any better. I wish people would lighten up about that (did no one see Star Wars: A New Hope in it's original form?).
Yes, I recommend this movie.
