Fell in love with the first movie before having read the book-mostly due to romantic tone, which was enhanced by engaging music. This movie is missing both. Don't even recall hearing any music. Some of the action scenes were good, but this is not why I saw the1st one six times. Male directors just don't get it! Also, this Victoria is awful! The actor who plays Riley was very good. Terrible ending (Bella speech)and missed several important ideas from the book in order to accommodate action seqs'. I agree about the ADD-very choppy scenes for the first 2/3 of the film. I liked it, just because I get to see the book on screen, but a lot was lost and sacrificed. This should have been the best one(because this book was my fav), but honestly I still liked the 1st movie better.
