This movie was WAY better than I was expecting. Having read all 4 books, and being a big fan of them, I was semi-dissappointed with the first movie but this one was a movie worth staying up until 4AM for!!! Surprising twist: It was funny! But there were plenty of tense moments as well. Taylor Lautner's performance was actually really good, he's definetly grown up since he was Shark Boy! Overall though this was a great movie and definetly worth seeing multiple times. And even though I loved the book's plot line, the subtle differences in the movie didn't make me angry at the writers. Best movie of the year, in my opinion of course...
