I walked in to the movie hoping it would be better than Twilight and it was. Chris Weitz did an excellent job as a director. I guess they told Kristen Stewart to keep her mouth closed in this film because I couldn't stand how it always was open in Twilight. Her acting was slightly improved, but the one who I think really carried this movie was Taylor Lautner. He was a believable character and you could tell this part meant alot to him. Other than that the scenes went by fluidly, it had its moments where you laughed where it wasn't really supposed to be funny (when edward groaned while kissing bella). Overall, better than the first!
