I think it's the first time I have ever said this: I liked the movie more than the book. Mainly because it saved me from dealing with Bella's loooong and drawn out depression. The book was not the best in the series. And the movie, well, it's not like it's got top-notch actors, except for when it came to the Volturi - really liked when they were on screen. Exceptional acting by Michael Sheen-- and Dakota Fanning delivered her lines with ART! Totally loved the Volturi. In all fairness to Kristen Stewart, her acting was much better this time around, but her skills are nowhere near Dakota's.
