Dances WIth Wolves meets Fern Gully

5 stars for the special effects. This was the first time I've watched a 3-D film that didn't give me a headache. However, the plot/story- line was a bit lacking. About half way through the film I had a feeling of deja vu, and realized his diary entries were akin to "Dances With Wolves" and the sacred forest reminiscent of "Fern Gully."
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I wasn't expecting much from the film- especially after seeing the first film. "New Moon" was better than its predecessor, but the acting and passion was still lacking. In the books, Bella has a bit more personality/show of emotion that is not translated on the big screen.
2 questions: What was up with Jacob's ugly wig? What was going on with Edward's chest?
Yes, I recommend this movie.

It's always nice going tosee an ORIGINAL film, and Pixar has definitely put together original ideas. And a big kudos for haveing a local shop featured in the film (Fenton's ice creamery is real!).The film touched on modern themes that are often glossed over in children's movies: death, love, an absent parent... While emotionally moving at times, the film dealt with these issues in a tasteful manner. There were a few scenes with guns that were a bit disturbing, and the dogs might be a bit frightening for young viewers (the film is PG), so be aware of this before taking young children to see the movie. I give the film 4 stars because the ("talking") dogs were a bit much for me, but still a very enjoyable flick.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
