Out of the 3 movies, this movie was well done. My applause to the director! He had Bella actually complete a sentence, and the vampire makeup, hair and styles were believeable. They actually spent money to make a realistic vampire. Also, the director pretty much followed the book as well as important lines. The Dad who plays Charlie! again well done, deserve an award! There were a few choppy spots on the flow and that was the reason for 4 out of 5 stars. Many great scenes and funny dialogue that helped you get involved with the characters. Loved the flashbacks! And Jasper and Emmett actually talk this time! loved it!
They totally slaughtered a perfectly good story. Kristen Stewert was awful. Robert Pattison saved the scene. The script writers and director should be ashamed of themselves. Did anyone watch the movie after editing or were they so tired of dealing with it. The scenes were so fast it didn't connect the story. The scenery shots were beautiful, but they lost the essence of a buildup rommance and engaging with the Cullens. Key scenes from the book would have helped it, but obviously the director lost her creativness. If they want a better script for the "New Moon" , call me. They didn't get their money's worth from the writers and editors.
