This movie is probably most meaningful to those of us who have been following the Twilight Saga all along. Yes, I was a bit disappointed in the additional scenes that were not in the book, but I understand the need in a visual medium to create a visual peak and a fight between the wolf pack and the Cullen family was probably too juicy to resist. I also wanted Bella's wedding dress to be a bit more old fashioned, but whatever. I didn't like hearing Charlie knock Renee during the pre-wedding scene (referring to her as the "something old") felt jarring and out of character for him. The wolf pack voices were wierd and anyone who was not up on what was happening between the Alpha and the other members of the pack probably felt confused or just thought it was a bad choice for special effects. Also I felt Jacob's imprinting lacked the emotional punch I would have expected, but that may be more a comment on Taylor Lautner's acting ability than on the direction. All that being said, I still enjoyed it tremendously, will see it again and can't wait for Part 2. Hurry August 2012!
