So i just saw this movie today and overall...was not impressed. The chemistry between the two was almost awkward and dull. The only good acting I enjoyed watching was Richard Jenkins. The plotline was slow and at some points, my eyes were getting heavy. As for Amanda Seyfried's reaction over the father's death... I couldn't help but laugh out loud. The reaction was too staged and unnatural considering how close the two were. She needed a lot more emotion to her reaction. A few tears would have been nice. Overall, this movie was another disappoint of a Nicolas Spark movie.
As I was watching this movie, I felt as if I was watching an episode of "Days of Our Lives" or one of those annoying soap operas. The relationship between Bella and Edward lacked passion. The writing in the movie was a little too elementary for this love story. The lines were uninteresting and bland. They might as well said "I love you" 8,000 times. Kristen Stewart was better in this movie than in the first one because of her emotions. As for Taylor Lautner, I didn't see anything special besides his body. As for his acting chops, he lacked them very much and might as well been thrown in the film as a Chip n' Dale Dancer. These movies bring cinema to shame.
