Not the disappointment I was expecting...

Rating: 9/10 (19 November 2011)

After seeing the previous movies and reading some reviews from here, I braced myself for experiencing another boring, cheesy and over the top romantic flop but was gladly disappointed. It was of course still a romantic movie whose strongest and main message is one of selfless love and sacrifice, but having read the books I knew what to expect and I was fine with that. What I am not fine with, is the fact that some people, can tolerate a romantic novel but seem hell-bent on stepping all over a romantic movie. It's very simple to me; you know what you like, go watch that. This isn't a movie for everyone, but those who appreciate it's message, will surely enjoy it and find fewer faults in it.
I enjoyed this one better than all the previous ones; it went smoother, it didn't bore me more than it I could take and even the actors seemed to have taken a few acting classes since the last one. I almost believed K. Stewart as Bella this time around. Well, almost; I still think she was a poor choice of casting along with Taylor Lautner. I especially enjoyed the fact that the soundtrack from the first movie made a comeback in this one. I liked the original music.
I'm more excited to be looking forward to seeing the finale after watching this one now; I know there's more to enjoy as this story comes to an end.
A 9/10 from me just to wind up some people:-)
