LOVED IT!! Normally movies do not live up the book but this was not the case with this movie! Absolutely amazing the way the characters were brought to life and the scenes were well depicted. The special effects were fabulous and I did not want the movie to end.
Pros great story
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Can't Wait for Part Two!!

This by far is my favorite book of the series and I would have sat through four hours if I had to so it didn't end!! I liked the movie, I did think there were times when Robert Pattinson's passion fell flat. I felt more intensity between them in the first one, which is strange because I thought it would be super intense when they were on their honeymoon. He seemed a bit distant from her which I couldn't figure out. Don't get me wrong there were times when you saw that spark but it was hit or miss. Taylor Lautner was amazing and he really was believable as a heart broken man who still longed for the one he lost. You could feel his pain. The one part of the movie I could have done without is the talking wolves scene, very corny. I think it would of been a better choice to have them argue in their human form. That part felt like an after school special. I have always been Team Edward and will continue to be loyal to that but I seriously hope they step it up in Part 2! They are adults now and married let's see the sparks fly!!
On another note . . . it is fun to see all the cool stuff the Cullens have!! The homes, an island, cars, clothes, the money spent on parties!! WOW that is a dream :0)
We just saw Gulliver's Travels and that was horrible! This movie was not as bad. I agreed with the gentleman who wrote "they could have done a lot with this character" and "they made him out to be a bumbling idiot" . Seth Rogen seemed to be trying to hard to play a role, not great acting at all. Kato I liked! Cameron Diaz was o.k. she seems to have the same facial expression and mannerisms in every movie which is a bit annoying. Tom Wilkenson definitely played a great role and was by far the best actor.
I never followed Green Hornet as a kid but when I watched this I thought "was Green Hornet a goof ball who did not know how to fight and had no intellect?" If he wasn't than they just destroyed this character. The car was awesome, the logo was fabulous, I just wish they could have found someone else to play Green Hornet that actually cared about keeping the integrity of the character. Kind of weird to watch a stoner, frat boy play a super hero . . . just my thoughts on it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The movie was not as good as all the hype. Anne Hathaway had a miserable performance and her acting was overplayed. Helena Bonham Carter was awesome as the Queen of Hearts and Johnny Depp nailed the Mad Hatter. The 3D was good and the special effects. I would say it is best to watch the movie in the theatre than at home but don't get your hopes up and you will enjoy it more.
It was awesome to see the book come to life! I loved it from start to finish and even though I did not want it to end it was a great ending!!! Definitely left you wanting more. The werewolves were better than I thought they would be, very real and very intense. Edward was smoking HOT and Jacob was hotter than the last one for sure. This is a must see!!! Also, Hats off to Harkins for the quick check in and letting you go right into the movie and get a seat instead of creating havoc with cheesy roped off lines and then causing a frenzy by waiting til the last minute to "open the flood gates" like friends experienced at AMC.
