This was ok. It wasn't as good as the first one. Both movies are basically tons of sight gags and special effects, but the first one was more cohesive and had a good heart. This one was just a big ad for the Smithsonian with all the gags being excuses to show it off. Nice movie, but better for the bargain matinee.
I am a die-hard book fan. I have all of the books. I have Midnight Sun saved on my comp. I have read and re-read each book many times. I push it like a drug to anyone I meet. But Stewart and Pattinson REALLY overthought this. They played it for teen angst and it's just not that kind of story. Edward would look suicidal one second and then 50's cool the next. IN THE SAME SCENE! Add to that cameras that spin around the scene constantly, horrid special effects, and just really really bad acting that looks melodramatic and campy, and you have a movie I will never recommend to anyone, or even watch again. HORRIBLE!
