Better than the first two but...

Rating: 6/10 (3 July 2010)

...still not quite good. This is better because it has intense battle scenes and epic music and faster pace but the still has the same lovely-dovely talk which drags. The CGI has definitely improved too. But all the lovely-dovely talk bring down the whole movie. All the talk between Bella and Edward seem like they are going on forever, they seem like they will never end. I could be annoyed too with Bella's decision of who to choose.
The story: It takes place after New Moon, which almost put me into sleep, and Bella is still indecisive the love between Jacob and Edward. Blah, blah, cue to the boring talk between them that go on forever. The new-born vampires are going to attack Bella? I was sleepy from the boring talk that I did not really know what the new-born vampires want. Okay, then there are two major action scenes which are short. Even the climax is disappointing. I mean, it is like what the heck do they need to practise for? I am actually surprised at the pace of this though it is faster than New Moon. I have seen David Slade's 30 Days of Night and I have enjoyed its grittiness and suspense. But in this, he chose melodramatic lines that go on forever and drag the plot down. I would say Howard Shore did a good job for composing. The other two movies' music are nothing.
Overall: This will be definitely be popular for the females who ogle at Edward or Jacob's six packs. Other than that, I don't know why someone touts it as the movie event of the year! I rather want to see that line on the Inception's poster.
