Now that the majority of us have had a chance to see the film once, twice, three times… we though we would have some fun with polls! The polls do contain some spoilers, so look away now if you haven’t seen the movie yet!
In this poll, we’d like to know which scene exceeded your expectations. When a book is translated to film, fans are always nervous or excited about certain moments and how they will play out. We want to know which scene was better on screen than you imagined it would be. Leave us a comment telling us why you picked the scene you did or to tell us that we missed a scene!
Hard choice but my vote was for the imprinting. Contrary to my comment about the Jacob claims Alpha scene above, I absolutely loved the score here. I imagine we’ll be hearing that lovely theme again for Jacob and Nessie.
The imprinting scene was so good that my BFF, who has not read the books and somehow as stayed clear of the imprinting fact, shouted out in the theater. It was a very classic theater-going moment.
Like many others, the whole movie really was above and beyond what I expected. It seemed like they got everything perfectly right and I wonder if that is because stephenie had a bigger say in the movie. It is now my favorite, so far, and I absolutely loved it. The music, I think, was what really exceeded my expectations. It was a perfect mix of old and new at just right times. I absolutely loved the music, score and songs.
Also, the scene where Jacob became Alpha, I thought, could have been cheesy but it was done great.
The transformation. Wicked Cool.
I was so moved by the lovemaking scenes, and I especially loved how they handled the headboard breaking part… it was a fan favorite from the book and it could have been really cheesy but the expression on Edward’s face ( he looked overwhelmed and a little scared that he might loose his control or that he might have scared her. He looks into her eyes for reassurance and she is there with it immediately telling him that it is alright. I died at the tenderness of that moment. It captured the feeling of a couple’s first time together so authentically. Amazing!!

I came into this film thinking they couldnt top Eclipse because that had a great deal of action and story but they really outdid themselves this time! Best film of the bunch. And consider this – about 70% of the film was dialogue so it was KEY, especially for the lead 3 to step up their performances (not to say, they werent great in the previous 3 films, but they knew they had to step their game even further). If I had to evaluate performances, Taylor came in 2nd but its a VIRTUAL TIE between Robert and Kristen for best performance in this film. They explored every emotion their characters could have had possible. Happiness, tenderness, being in love, angry, fear, vulnerable, you name it. I loved Kristen’s performance during the wedding when Bella is scared out her mind walking down the aisle but then something in her face changes once she sees Edward and its goes out the window. I felt her pain during the birth scene and esepcially her memories during the “morning after” scene — priceless. And I dont know if this is a testament to their relationship off screen, but it so classy and romantic that it didnt need “sex”. But Robert KILLED it this time around it – happy, resisting Bella the next, then angry, desperate, determined….I was in awe of him.
the transformation sceene, WICKED AWESOME x x x
Loved BD, but why did they not edit out the part where Edward stumbles over the threshold while carrying Bella? Vampires don’t stumble.
I voted for her transformation but I also thought how the inmprinting was done was so accurate and stunningly protrayed.
Wow everything was superb! But the imprinting is really got me there! i was truly surprised by how beautiufl it was done!
and also Bella’s transformation.
Another hard pick. I loved how they did the imprinting scene (I was REALLY nervous about it) and Bella’s transformation. Watching her body heal and the heartbeat was so amazing. For me the wedding and love making was close to what I expected (especially since we had had snippets of it in the trailers & stills that were released.
I loved the entire movie. I thought that bill condon did a fantastic job with it & that he got the best performances out of kristen & rob out of all the movies. My favourite scene would have to be the end, bella’s transformation together with the flash back scenes with bella’s lullaby playing in the background. I found that scene to be so beautiful, memorable & very well put together. Kudos to bill condon on a gr8 job as well as the entire cast.
