Costuming and staging detracted from the illusion

I expected the Cullen's costuming NOT to ADD to the obvious fact the actors are aging. In the first movie, the Cullens "kids" pretty much dressed like teenagers. But in NM, they're all wearing clothes that would make even normal teenagers look old. Why is the ever-stylish Alice Cullen wearing that AWFUL grey/black/white grandma jacket they had her wearing in Italy, & Edward was almost always in a suit - even in Bella's bedroom. Really??? The second detraction was the Cullen's house. Both scenes were shot in the same small, confined basement-type room in complete contrast to the "openess" described in the books. Minor details, but really detracted from the overall experience.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

If you like superhero films, this won't disappoint

Having a two-year old, it's always a hassle trying to go see the latest release. But, we were so excited about seeing Iron Man that we made the effort to catch a matinee while our daughter was in daycare. It was definitely worth it. There were a few things that bothered me (for instance, there absolutely is no way he'd be allowed to ride in a humvee in a dangerous area like Afghanistan without being made to put on protective kevlar gear even if he was wearing his own lighter version), but what action flick doesn't have its "No way or BS" moments? And, I loved the ending, as I wasn't expecting the last line.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
