For starters, the atmosphere always differs with each croud at the theater. The midnight showing opening night was full of laughter and gasps.
By itself, the movie stayed true to the book and the actors did a phenomenal job filling the shoes of richly developed characters. The chemistry between Bella and Edward does not disappoint. However, for such an anticipated blockbuster I am disappointed, solely, at the special effects that they cheaped out on. Everything else checks out, and two hours goes by fast, keeping you craving for more.
