Disappointing

Rating: 2/10 (18 November 2009)

Overall I was disappointed, the movie didn't flow it jumped around a lot, many vital bits were missing and why were random bits thrown in, I have read the books and I don't recall a fight happening with the Volturi. the eyes were wrong they were too bright, in the first movie you could see that the Cullens eyes were golden, that James and Victoria's were red and Laurant's were purple, but it didn't stand out, in this film it was the only thing you noticed, and it was very distracting. That is not how the second book ended, Jacob did not turn into a wolf and run away. While I have enjoyed much of Chris Weitz's other work I think that he should stick to a genre that he understands. I think that they need someone more like Catherine Hardwicke to direct the next film, or maybe someone who has read the book and understands the relationships between the characters. And what was with the ending? that is not how the book ended, and if they are going to finish a film with a question like that and leave it hanging, surely it should make me keen to see the next movie to see Bella's response, but I don't, the question was just sort of casually thrown out and you don't even see Bella's reaction, it's like they don;t really care and were throwing bits in to fill the time
