Way better than the first

Rating: 10/10 (20 November 2009)

I have read through the comments and am a little surprised. First of all - the movie was fantastic. If you are one of those people who what the Oscars - the stay out of this movie because you obviously don't like entertaining movies. You like broke-back mountain. Whatever - that is your thing but why bother commenting on a movie if its not your thing. If you are more the type to watch the MTV movies awards (which is about movies people actually SEE) then you will like this movie. I saw the first movie before reading the books and Catherine Hardewick did NOT do the story justice and changed a bunch of stuff that didn't need to be changed. They cut out parts of the book that allow for story telling and explanation (like about the wolves) but other than that the move was entertaining and more in line with the books than the first one. This movie was better than the 1st.... But both were good and as entertaining as I could have hoped. I have seen ALL the Vampire movies that have come out and have been reading Vampire books since I was 12. NewsFlash - EVERY single story is different - details of the vampires are different. That is what make them INTERESTING - its no fun if they were all the SAME.... God - stop knocking the sparkles! Take it for what it is - entertainment! I think Eclipse will be GREAT but I don't think they need to fight the details of the book so much. That would be my one complaint for BOTH movies - is that they try to stray too much from the books which is NOT good - there is a reason that the books are popular. But with everything popular you will have haters that want to hate it just to be apart from everyone else because they think its cool to be different. But - again - whatever. The movie was great - all the haters will STILL probably get the DVD. LOL.
