Watch in Cinema only once. Forget about DVD.

Rating: 4/10 (24 November 2009)

OK, the sequel is better than the first movie, that is my honest opinion, but it is only because the first movie was bad enough to make the sequel a better one. If you are a fan, fair enough, you would probably like it but I don't understand how you become a fan in the first place. I watched the movie because it is selling so well and I actually thought they made a much better movie than the original.
The acting itself is pretty bad as always. The story does not make much sense and the special effect is really nothing special if you watched 2012 (which by the way one of the worst acting with amazing special effect). I liked the area they are shooting the movie though, I enjoyed more watching the beautiful more than I enjoy the movie. Kristen Stewart was the only actress I thought had any acting skill which is still not very good. I thought at least I can watch some good story this time involve more with the history of the Vampires and Werewolves but it is still not very well explained. OK, you can argue that the movie is not going for that part of the story but the emotion aspect of the main characters. Too bad the love story were hardly romantic or touching or any kind. It might be the immaturity of the acting skills of the actors and might also be simply too hard to make the movie emotional.
The main topic of movie was not clearly identified. Sometimes you can mix several ideas in a movie so it can indulge several emotions from the audience but in my opinion, it is a very dangerous thing to do. Movies try too much always end up in disaster. Fortunately, there are always special effects to save the day and it does look pretty cool to see the wolf changing action, but that is about the only thing that is impressive.
It is a mediocre movie with unclear intention. It is not really a good romantic movie because there are very thin bonds between the couple (or their acting was so weak, I could not feel it). There are not enough actions to count it as an action movie. There is not even a strong story line to support the movie if you are comic fans. I would rather watch Buffy couple more times than watch this movie again. By the way, Buffy is one of the most overrated TV shows I have ever seen. I still prefer it over New Moon.
