The new director for this movie did very well in sticking with the plot and compressing key events so that everything flowed well. Stewart's acting was a lot better in this movie than the first. Didn't really understand her screaming nightmares though.
As usual, the movie requires you to focus a lot on the actors' facial expressions, as a lot of their thoughts and emotions go unsaid, and there is a lot of intense staring/glaring. wouldn't be a bad idea to read the book beforehand.
Loved the montage of Jacob/Bella fixing up the bikes, and Bella's dream that opens up the movie.
