Besides the glaring ovious mistake of no' glittering Edward' - I really enjoyed this one!

The last movie was I felt rather self indulgent on the Directors part....

This one showed more close up's and some scenery ( to die for doll !!!!!! ) the just seemed to be more substance....?!

And of course the ending was perfect.

I love the fact Bella has matured during all the films,and that all the Rob P haters seem to have eatern their 'worms'.....

Dear Dawn Rose,
You make excellent points. Bella did seem different from the very beginning. But I didn't consider that the difference was that they portrayed her as a adult from the very start. You are right. What did you think about the way the portrayed her as a corpse versus the way they portrayed her as a vampire? How did you feel about Rosenberg's interpretation of Stephanie's description of the final moments of Bella's life?
Yours, Doc B

Dear Isabella,
I agree. How did you like the final image of Bella. Did you stay in the theater long enough to see the final scene from Volterra?

I did! I like how they portray Arrow's intentions right off the bat. This next movie is going to be epic.

I think they did a lovely job sticking with the book this time. I loved it just as much as New Moon the movie. Sure they changed a little bit, but all in all it was very close to the original story. I loved the ending as well. I still think that New Moon, for me, is the best movie so far. I loved depressed Bella. Kristen did a good job acting in that one. I loved the director of New Moon as well. He did a fantastic job.

I would like to add that I think this is Jacob's best performance out of all the movies.

I honestly think this was the best film so far. All the main actors really stepped up their game. Their performances were so believable. I cried throughout the entire film. Even though I knew what was going to happen, because of the books, I was still on the edge of my seat. I also loved how they incorporated the music from the previous films.

I loved that about the music as well!

I agree. I thought that adding moments of background music from previous movies was a wonderful touch. Especially those from the original "Twilight" movie. Do you think that Stephanie had anything to do with that ? This movie reminded me so much of the first movie. Did you feel that way? Do you know if Stephanie took a more active role in this movie?  When I left the theater I had a feeling that I had some how reunited with the first Twilight movie. Did you happen to have that feeling as well?

Stephenie Meyer has been involved in the adaptation of her Twilight saga books to film from the very beginning. But on The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 and 2, she has taken on an even bigger role – producer.

  I heard she was a co-writer as well.

I wish she had been more involved from the beginning with Twilight. Don't get me wrong, I loved the movie, but I feel it was no where close to the book Twilight. I think her part in Breaking Dawn part one was very involved. I loved the adaptation from book to movie with this one. I am very impressed at how close they kept it to the book. 

 I am curious what people who did not read the book thought of the movie. Anyone here not read the book first?

Well I took my sister and mom to see the movie. They loved it. My mom was getting teared up at a few parts too.
