not a terrible movie tho really hated the slo-mo scenes - corny. Then, it seemed like R Pat thought a wrinkled brow was the extent of the acting required to show emotional pain. Not convincing. Perhaps it is not entirely his fault, as the directing seemed to be focused almost entirely on garnering squeals from the tweens. I gave it 3 stars because it IS supposed to be a tween/teen angst fest, but not more because it was handled fairly poorly -- I've seen so many teen movies where the acting, direction, realness of the emotional content, etc were far, far better. Too bad: the book had me weeping at times for Bella's plight. The movie was just a little dull instead. Not good.
