Great movie that worked for me

Rating: 9/10 (30 June 2010)

I've read a lot of negative comments about how this movie is just more of the same, but what would you expect? It's a continuation of a series, and obviously the final resolution is still two movies away. So the people who say it's just more of the 'Will Bella choose Edward or Jacob?' plot need to realize that it is the centerpiece of the entire saga and one of the biggest reasons that the Twilight movies are so popular.
I went with my 11 year old daughter and we both enjoyed it from start to finish. I haven't read the books and she cover-to-covered them more times than I can count, so we both approached it from different angles. She liked the way it stuck pretty closely with the book, and I found enough action, humor, and intrigue to keep me focused from start to finish.
This, in my opinion, is the best of the three movies so far, as it balances out all the major elements that keep it moving through the whole two hours. Two thumbs up here!
