This was a very good movie. The acting was better and the special effects much improved from Twilight. As a "mature" woman I did view this movie from a different perspective than the typical teen viewer. My main criticism is that I just don't see in Bella's face and eyes the great passion and undying love she feels for Edward. Kristen's dialog seems forced and removed. Her "eye blinking" when showing heart break was distracting...almost funny. I think Kristen just doesn't have the real life experience or can relate to such a strong love. Don't get me wrong, she's a good actress and a beautiful young woman. I think she just needs a little more coaching to capture on the BIG screen her love for Edward.
