This movie did not disappoint. It followed the book closely while still taking some movie making freedoms.
I thought the movie did a great job of reflecting that all sexual relations were consensual and there was nothing close to abuse or domestic violence involved. I thought the cast was well chosen. I thought Taylor would be younger but he's a supporting role anyway so not a deal breaker.
I know there was a lot of hoopla about the rating. Personally I felt the scenes were very intimate and while not obscene I do think the R rating is more of an R+.
There are breasts shown and then pubic hair is all you see of anything below the waist but at times it felt like from the audience I was watching something secret and treasured. It was odd as I don't remember that crossing my mind during other sex scenes in movies.
Because of this odd feeling of intrusion I don't think I would have been comfortable in a theater full of people or even going with someone. I went by myself and I sat on an empty row. {Benefits of seeing a twilight show}
I am glad that the movie has already broken box office records and that the sound track is doing well. I am also hopeful for movies 2 and 3.
★★★★☆
**not beause it isnt worth the money to see it but because seeing it in theaters was awkward to me**
