I went into the movie expecting it to be bad, but as the movie progressed with its cheesy, corny jokes, underdeveloped characters, and overly-prominent "bad guys" I realized that I had been holding out hope just a little bit.
It was, however, a beautiful movie. The best parts of the movie were when their was no insipid and unnatural dialogue and no out-of-date special effects...just wonderful camera-work and lush scenery.
Advice to Summit for New Moon...get a different director.
