This movie is a wonderful continuation of the story. Loved how Jacob's CGI werewolf had his personality and movements. Bella should have been more clumsy.
Michael Sheen's Aro is positively creepy (I actually expected his tongue to come out and taste the air *shiver*) and Dakota's Jane was perfection.
All in all a wonderful movie - and enjoyable for all the ages in my family; from my 11 year old grandson to myself at 58. :)
My husband and I experimented with this one. He had read the graphic novel - I hadn't. He also wouldn't let me watch any of the trailers or tv ads.
It took him seeing it twice before he decided that he really did like how it was treated (GN vs Movie).
My take was this: I love Moore's darkness and bitter take on humanity. As such, I really liked this movie and thought it projected that type of vision very well. Now I'm looking forward to reading the graphic novel. ;)
Robert Downey Jr is perfectly cast as the lead in Iron Man and manages to carry the movie all the way. Gwyneth Paltrow and Jeff Bridges gave stand-out performances also. Highly recommended to everyone!
