I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It was a step above the first one (I'm sure a bigger movie budget helped). The young main actors still seemed to struggle in trying to convince me of the emotions they were supposed to be experiencing. Based alone in the fact that I'm a Twilight fan, it would not have mattered how the film was reviewed, I still would have seen it.
This movie was action packed from the moment it began until the end. My boys (11 & 7) can't wait to buy it. Special effects were excellent. I do agree with a previous reviewer that the increase in suggestive material took away from the movie. The increase in the amount of foul language was also unnecessary.
