But I think that overall they did a good job adapting the story to the big screen. The only complaint I had, and it's the reason I didn't give the movie 5 Stars, is that the cinematography was jerky and abrupt. I think that it distracted from the acting and character development at times, and made my head hurt at others.
I think the casting was superb, and I'm interested to see how they do with the following movies (if they make them).
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Pleasantly Surprised

I had a lot of misgivings going into this movie. As a fan of the books, I was really worried about how they would handle the over-sweeping themes and nuanced character changes/growth through the last book. I was really pleasantly surprised to see Kristen Stewart really can act (a little) and there is real chemistry between Edward and Bella now. ;) Perhaps spurred on by their real life romance, who knows.
Anyway, I was pleased with how they handled the transition from book to movie - they left a lot of things out and made some unnecessary additions, but over all, a good adaptation. I can't wait for the second installment!
