likely to disappoint.....

Rating: 6/10 (18 November 2009)

I saw a preview screening today and I left the theatre feeling deflated.
I am not a crazed Twilight fan, but I did really enjoy the books and I expected more from this adaption.
I don't even feel passionate enough about this film to write a full review, so maybe that gives an indication of how I feel about it.
The acting was bland, there was a lack of any real action. The story plodded along at a slow pace. It was just flat.
I did really like the special effects, they were a vast improvement on the first movie. I especially liked the wolves, I thought they were quite realistic.
I haven't seen too many films with Kristen Stewart, but my impression of her so far is that she is quite expressionless. I don't know if that is just the way she is portraying this character, but I always thought of Bella as someone with a little more fire. Kristen is just, again, flat. I can't get past her mono-tone.
Oh and another thing to note, I'm not sure if people who didn't read the books will be able to follow the plot. Although then again, I doubt anyone who isn't a fan of the books would bother to watch this.
