I took my nephew and grandkids to see the movie, and they enjoyed it immensely...as did I. Taylor's portrayal of Jacob was absolutely fantastic. Watching his transition, physically and emotionally, carried the movie. Kristen's Bella was better this time than in the first installment. She was able to show how dependent she had become on Jacob, and how torn her feelings were. Patrick's Edward wasn't very convincing...he was too aloof, even when he wasn't supposed to be. I was glad to see that the writers stayed true to the spirit of the book, and I'm looking forward to Eclipse.
