I wish they had replaced Melissa Rosenberg as the screenwriter after the first Twilight film. The dialogue was very cheesy and lacking in many scenes. I think for any audience member who has not read the books, the film might be a little harder to get. The special effects were much better this time around, and overall it was a much better movie than the first Twilight film. The soundtrack is great, as well. The CGI wolves are amazing, but definitely look too computer generated, which hurts the suspension of disbelief. The Volturi scenes were the best part of the film. Michael Sheen and Dakota Fanning were very creepy. It was a good enough film, but it wasn't amazing. The book is better.
