Exeedingly Better Than The First

Rating: 10/10 (20 November 2009)

First off, I don't understand all the bashing for this movie. It was beautifully made and was FAR better made than the first movie. Then again most of these reviews don't have proper spelling or grammar so I can't take them very seriously. They also don't have clear understanding of the book and are not judging the movie on how its made and how the movie sells the story line to someone who has never been exposed to the Twilight Saga.
To start off, the beginning of the movie was sweet and slightly painful. Kristen Stewart's acting with Robert Pattinson is horrible but then has the best chemistry with the rest of the characters. The moments with Jacob are touching and heartbreaking and I was damn-near brought to tears a few times because of it. Bella was actually sarcastic this time and what do you know, even the Cullen's had their own personalities that 'sparkled' perfectly!
The story line was very true to the book, other than a few instances where I have no issue giving concessions since what they did helped the story line. There was only one major continuity issue, Harry Clearwater's death, and some minor ones, the last scene was backwards Edward was supposed to propose to Bella and then have the confrontation with Jacob and I'm pretty sure I saw a sandy werewolf during the Victoria chase scene which would have been Seth who wasn't introduced in the movie at all though he was in the book.
The Werewolves and the Volturi had the perfect amount of screen time each in correlation to the book. The Werewolves were the band of brothers I always imagined and the Volturi were just as terrifying. Charlie, as always, made the movie even more perfect and even the little bit of Harry Clearwater we saw was brilliant.
All in all, there isn't much more I could have asked for from this movie. I only ask that those who don't like the Twilight Saga, to which I have no issue with seeing as I live with three people who hate the series so much they leave the room when I say the word 'Twilight', see how well done this movie was made, especially compared to the disaster that was Twilight.
