Tthe plot went INCREDIBLY fast. They could've made two movies out of this, or at least added another hour. If I hadn't read the book, I wouldn't have known what was missing, but at the same time, If I hadn't read the book I don't know that I would've been able to keep up, it went so fast. The sense of loss at Edward's parting was missing, and the Voltourie, which were larger than life in the book, came across as just a couple of thugs. But the actors were great, the guys hot, :) and the plot was so much more closer than the first one. Over all, job well done, it was a lot of fun to see. Can't wait for the next one!
