I was really impressed with the direction and screenplay this time around. Dialogue wasn't nearly as stilted and dumb as in the first movie. The actors seemed a bit more relaxed in their roles. Rob looked constipated briefly in only a couple scenes and Kstew actually toned down on the hair-touching and lip-biting habit that was so annoying in Twilight. CGI was well done overall. Only wolf I laughed at was the first big one (sam) when he came out of the woods to chase Laurent. That was a bit too clunky. The Italy scenes happened too fast. You really had to have read the book to understand all that went on so quickly but man, that fight scene was awesome. Excited about Eclipse!!
