I must admit...I was a little disappointed. Some of the special effects were great but the storyline jumped around and never really went anywhere. Introducing characters is a necessary evil, but the Volturi should have been a more pivotal part of the plotline. There's just too much going on here and too fast. I would like to see a facet developed more...pick one--vampires, werewolves, volturi...even Charlie---just get something done without going everywhere. Lastly...I was pretty irritated with the 40-year old woman line--The author of these books is in her late thirties---HELLOOOOOO.
