Let's be honest, all of the Twilight movies are cheesy, but this really was the best so far. You could actually enjoy it even if you don't love the books. I would see it several more times. The directing was great. The new director brought the pace up significantly and really brought out the best performance to date from the actors. It also didn't take itself so seriously, which made it much more enjoyable. Loved, loved, loved Dakota Fanning!
