I was really looking forward to this movie, thought it would be lots of great scenery and animals...perfect for a 2 and a half year old. Imagine my disappointment when the opening scenes were almost identical to the "Planet Earth" series. Very little original footage...save money, make popcorn at home and go rent the Planet Earth series from your local video store.
WOW. If one word could describe a movie...that would be it. Unlike Harry Potter...the characters TOTALLY changed how I will re-read the books. No one really looked the way I expected...especially Jacob. And you know...for a bad guy, James was freakin' amazing to look at. Any time a movie can make my heart race, make me feel an ACHE for a love like that of Bella and Edward, and send me home wondering where I can find MY OWN vamire...you know it's good. What I love most about this series is that you don't have to be a perfect 10 or a blue eyed blonde to catch the "hero"...I love that about the movie too. The "hottie", Jessica didn't get the prize...Bella did. It would be great to see more stories like this. Oh ya, and GO TEAM EDWARD! :D
