In my opinion, this was the best adaptation so far. Finally, Edward and Bella appear as a real couple, passionately in love. Great action, great dialogue, great special effects. Yes, there were big pieces of the story that were left out, but for the sake of the pace of the movie, it worked. David Slade brought a crispness, perhaps due to the fact this segment was shot for IMAX, that had yet to be seen in the Twilight Saga. The character development was rich and everyone's favorite "tent scene" was done extremely well. I will definitely be purchasing the DVD when it comes out! A totally satisfying movie-going experience, even if you aren't a die-hard Twilight fan.
