Definitely worth seeing.

Rating: 9/10 (20 November 2009)

I know it wasn't the best or most brilliant movie in existence. It wasn't identical to the book. But I really enjoyed it. I think if you go in with the expectation that it will be exactly like the book you will be disappointed, but if you realize that it has to be adapted to make it more visually pleasing and appealing to a larger audience, you will enjoy it. Taylor Lautner is such a great Jacob--I'm so glad he wasn't replaced. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are both adequate for their roles--I think their performances have improved from the first movie, in fact. Michael Sheen was incredible as Aro, and the Volturi set was great. There were lots of high points to this movie. Stop worrying that it's not EXACTLY what you think it should be and enjoy it for what it is-a good, entertaining movie that was basically just as faithful to its book as most other movie adaptations are.
