At last, Bella gets more interesting

This movie is much better than the last one, and Bella is finally allowed to have some personality instead of being such a drip all the time. She and Edward seem comfortable with each other at last. The best chemistry, however, is between Jacob and Edward--polar opposites in looks and temperament but both smokin' hot.
I loved the action scenes, too. Can't wait until Breaking Dawn!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

A Disappointment

Maybe Peter Jackson should stick to story lines that don't require the finesse of dealing with human emotions--especially when it comes to focusing on one family's tragedy and subsequent recovery.
Apparently Jackson felt that if his audience had enough special effects to look at, nobody would remember what the real story is about: the murder of a little girl, her family's descent into grief and anger, the "benign indifference" of the universe and how evil is allowed to fluorish unchecked. Or almost unchecked.
The epic scale of "Lord of the Rings" was perfect for Jackson's style. Not so the suburban plains of Pennsylvania.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

New Moon

Obviously a "bridge" movie between Parts 1 and 3, New Moon meanders along at a glacial pace, livened only by scenes of buff shirtless guys. (Not sure why werewolves go shirtless but not pantless.) The best thing in this movie is Dakota Fanning, but she's only in a few scenes toward the end. Edward is as gorgeous as ever and Bella is not nearly as annoying as she was in Twilight. If they get better with every go-round, maybe the next movie will actually have some heat and a decent plot.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
