If you have ever read the books, you can get mad about the screen plays and actors. If you've never read the books, it makes a good, not great movie. If you see this, then you've probably seen the first movie. The acting is more fun, but is still not great. I feel the actors did not do a good job. At least with this movie they kept the story in order and didn't change too much (like the Italy scene). I just feel they left out a lot of "key" information that was in the book. You wouldn't know what was really going on unless you read the book. It was better than Twilight though.
I would have liked the movie better f it was more true to the book. This movie was also filmed "choppy" and it does not always go from one scene to another smoothly. If you don't read the book first, it's a good story and won't ruin the film. The acting was ok in this one. The story itself is a beautiful love story, but the film isn't. Good try though.
