If you have read the series and saw the first movie, I think you will agree that this one does not hit the mark for several reasons. The first is the special effects. No sizzle, just unimpressive shots of Edward and the change of Jake is pretty so-so. The other disappointment was how parts of the book that helped to further character development and understanding of the plot were "glazed over" leaving the reader of the book disappointed and the movie-goer without background stumped.
Other than that, it was an enjoyable film and the two hours seemed like 30 minutes.
