The movie was overall very good, definitely the best of the three. The action scenes made the movie! It's amazing what technology can do these days to make everything look so real. Bravo!
As for the rest of the film, I expected the actors to improve their craft rather than plateau. "Jake" was the only one who seemed to really feel and grow into the part. I also like the acting style of the guy who played Riley. Very intense! Well done.
And what was with all the close ups? I wasn't sure why the director felt the audience needed to be right up in there with the characters. For some scenes it worked but mostly uncomfortable.
I also wouldn't have minded the movie to be a bit longer (extra 20 mins) to include more of the details in the book. It seemed a bit rushed.
The tent scene was by far the best one! It was comic as well as emotional and I loved the interaction between Jake and Edward. The actors play off each other better when they are not trying to argue. "Edward" doesn't do anger so well...
I also liked the way they did the backgrounds of Jasper and Rosalie. This book was one of my favorite to read because it was more about the history of the vampires and werewolves rather than just Bella and Edward.
I liked the movie and would recommend to fans of the books/movies. I can not say enough about the action scenes! Spectacular! Fans will be pleased! Can not wait to see what they do with "Breaking Down."
Yes, I recommend this movie.
