On expected terms - but still gripping!

Rating: 5/10 (3 July 2010)

I went to watch the movie bravely an hour after reading the comments here. I came to read the reviews just for the heck of it but an avg of 4.1 for the rating intrigued me.
Was it really that bad? .... Heck no!!! I wonder if people expect some vampire, werewolf battles in this movie series more than the central theme.. which is simply 'love'. I agree it does get a bit cheesy here n there but I guess thats what should be expected in teenage love stories even if it does involve the creatures mentioned before.
Yeah she does not have lot of expressions on her face .. so? Does that make her a bad actor? I think that is part of the character and she would have messed it up if she were showing her obsession for Edward like a blonde cheer girl (No offense .. just trying to get you to picture it).
I liked the way they showed the history of a couple of the Cullens. It gave the characters a lot more personality than before.
A lot of smooching and cuddling... yeah... not for the people who like war movies and LoTR kinda stuff.
I am not going to say that it is an awesome movie. Just that its a genre by itself and you need to have an open mind and have seen the first 2 parts before you go for this one.
