In hopes for something better & more alive

Rating: 4/10 (28 November 2009)

As a starting point, i've read all the books (even though the last two were a bit weird and freaky)& seen the first film, which was indeed not very bad (probably that's just in my opinion but anyway)... As follows i wasn't waiting a lot but still hoped for something & i (in comparison to my little sister) really thought that it HAS to be good (at least because of the feelings all the characters are supposed to through - break-up, unhappy love etc.)... BUT back to the reality - film was very, very weak & mostly not even decent, what's actually a surprise considering all the money what's invested in it. & actually everything would be thousand times better, if the acting were at least good. Unfortunately, the acting was so bad (at least for some of the actors) that it made me sad & even sorry for them, because some of them seemed as to forced to say the lines and moved. OK, not all of them of course. I kind a enjoyed Jacob/Bella (acctually Taylor did pretty good job) story line (at least i believed them on the screen). To be honest, not Kirsten but just Taylor was good. I literally could not stand Robert (what is strange because i used to like him a lot in the first movie). The movie was the worst at the beginning (till he left) & at the end (when he returned). & this situation is a complete opposite to the book, because while reading it i felt vice versa. Robert looked either mad (completely nuts) or blank (most of the time). Kirsten was simply boring & without any emotions in the scenes with Robert. All the conversations between them looked as if they were talking about math or something even more boring. Taylor was surprisingly very good & he kind a saved the film (& Kirsten in some scenes). As about movie in general, i could say only that it was good that i was in the cinema, because otherwise i would have not watched it till the end or have skipped all the scenes with Robert & Kirsten on them...
