I anxiously awaited this 4th movie in the Twilight Saga and was not disappointed at all!!! Bill Condon did an impressive job directing and followed the book closely which I imagine can be a difficult task when having to create 2 separate movies based on one book in the series. The stopping point was outstanding and I can't wait for Part 2 next November!
My expectations were high for this movie based on the trailers that I saw and I thought the movie was really good. While the trailers alluded to a more fantastical werewolf movie I feel it played out well. The storyline held my interest and the special effects were very good. With all the amazing things that can be done with movies today I felt this movie portrayed a decent werewolf....reminiscent of the good old days of black and white. Not overly horrific but just enough 'scare factor' to make you flinch a time or two.
I found that the movie followed the book very well and the special effects were outstanding! I LOVED IT! I will definitely be seeing it again at the theater and can't wait for Eclipse in June 2010!!!
I went to the 12:01 a.m. showing of this movie with my daughter and waited for nearly 5 hours for the movie to start. I absolutely LOVED the movie!!!! I went into it knowing that the movie could not completely mimic the book and felt they did an awesome job with the awkwardness between Bella & Edward as they developed their relationship. And I feel that the parts that differed from the book were well played to give the audience a "visual" of events that were eluded to in the book. I can't speak highly enough of the movie and I felt the casting was electrifying! I can't wait until New Moon comes out!!
