The story line followed the book pretty closely. I am still unimpressed by the performance of Bella. For a girl who in the book could not hold tears back when ever she got upset or frustrated, Kristen Stewart just can't pull it off. Blinking repeatedly doesn't count as emotion.Robert Pattinson did a good job portraying the conflicted lover while leaving Bella in the woods, and even better was his utter joy when she ran into his arms in Italy. Taylor Lautner stole the show. You really believe he was the Jacob that Stephenie Meyer was writing about! He, and his pals, probably didn't have to go shirtless through the entire movie, though my teen daughter didn't seem to mind! All in all, this movie has me absolutely pining away for the next!
