It was a bit of a letdown after the first one.

Warning: Spoilers
I am NOT the target audience for the "Twilight" stories and the series of films. And, I see that the next two installments are coming out, one is completed while the other is still in preproduction. Because of this the movie must end at a point where we expect the next one to take over. And this movie does end that way, with virtually everything unresolved. For hard-core fans that will titillate them, but for most of us looking for an entertaining story it comes across as "ho-hum."

Kristen Stewart is back as Bella Swan. Even the name evokes innocence and beauty, a "bella swan." But she is in love, she doesn't want to be left behind, and this would require her to become a vampire too. Will she??

Brit Robert Pattinson is back as Edward Cullen, and he cares so much for her that he wants to spare her, he does not want to see her become a vampire. But will he keep protecting his position? We'll have to wait and see.

Taylor Lautner is back as Jacob Black, how fitting a last name. "Black" evokes mystery and danger, and that is what you get when he and his kind turn into Werewolves, who of course are always at war with the vampires.

I can't wait for the next one. Well, maybe I can.
