First off, I enjoyed the first Twilight film so I was hoping for more of the same. This one was a bit too melodramatic although I guess I was that way when I was a teenager. The special effects were pretty good, especially the wolf scenes. It spent a bit too much time with the girl and all her angst and moodiness and not enough time with moving the story along. I didn't enjoy it as much as the first. But the action scenes were good.
