Expanded cast built stronger legs for story to stand on. Kept interest throughout entire film. Further developed characters beyond the main "triangle" was a much needed and timely choice. Was the plot worthy of Shakespeare? Going for an Academy Award? -No. It's the Twilight series. And anyone whining should have thought about that before choosing to go. Really. It's some lovesick teenagers intertwined with surreal elements of fantasy. For what it was and what it was supposed to be, it was a wonderful two hours of pure unadulterated visual pleasure.
