Chris Weitz did amazing! He kept to the book better than any other movie version or a book I've seen. The movie captured the loss Bella feels when Edward leaves and just as equally captures the chemistry between Jacob and Bella when she's coming back to life. The makeup was TONZ better in this movie (Edward looked how he always did in my head). Taylor Lautner did great! And OMGosh Kristen Stewart I loved her in this. She perfectly portrayed the pain and loss Bella was feeling. Michael Sheen was PERFECT as Aro. Creepy and Excited about everything.
Things I didnt like: The underwater seen. The Bella and Edward running joyfully through the woods part. LAME. That is all.
My husband and I saw this at the midnight showing and it was AMAZING! The action, HEATH LEDGER (Brilliant!), the story played out so well, leaving you on the edge of your seat! We have no complaints....at all!
I wouldnt say its better than Iron Man because its so different. Its dark and creepy (the joker!). But I am so going to see it again!
