Better than Twilight. More action and the characters seemed more relaxed and not as stiff as in the last movie. Humor added helped ease up on the teenage woe that we all expected. The effects of the wolves were decent, but not super. The Volturi fight scene (though not in the book) was an added plus. Of course, the actors steal the show just by being good looking and they all played their parts well (good casting). The movie is good for teens with all the usual emotional stuff without the outright sexuality that we see sometimes. The ending was a perfect way to end and get everyone anticipating the next movie, Eclipse.
