Okay, so being an avid reader (and, ergo, already deeply caring about the characters involved), there was no question as to whether or not I'd see this movei . . . only how many times I'd see the movie while it is still in theaters.
I have to say, though, that I am generally pleased with the film adaptation of the first part of the book Breaking Dawn. I think they handled some parts extremely well: e.g., when Jacob refuses to bow to Sam's directive, when Jacob imprints, and when Bella transforms/heals. The cast did a much better acting job with this movie than on previous movies, particularly Kristen and Taylor, who gave performances that were quite convincing.
The one part of the book which was omitted in the movie that I would have loved to see was the "You got food in my hair!" line from Rosalie. However, I can see why the pace did not allow for that inclusion.
It certainly leaves us wanting more. Too bad we have to wait another entire year. Why couldn't they have come out with Part II in the summer?
