The books, however addicting, were not the greatest books ever written and that applies to the movies as well! I actually think this movie was Kristen Stewart's best acting in this series so far, she is a lot less awkward, she doesn't bite her lip as much, and she surely didn't look like it was such a struggle to speak. Too bad it took her, and pretty much the rest of the cast, 4+ years to get where they are now in their acting abilities for these movies. In my eyes, Billy Burke (Charlie Swan) steals the spotlight whenever he does a scene and as soon as he's no longer in a scene, I lose a little interest.
Not much action, as always and surprisingly, this was the 1st gruesome Twilight film, and thank god it was! You'd think that with all the money this franchise has made they would do something about their special effects/makeup artists or lack of. They have always been horrible and for once, they didn't suck so much when it came to Bella Swan's pregnancy. Pretty much everything else was laughable or down right embarrassing. A lot of their "special scenes" is something I am sure 1st/2nd year film students could do and think of.
Seeing as how I read the books, I had an idea of where the director would cut the movie off, Bella turning into a vampire. The whole revival ending scene, with her opening her red ass eyes kind of killed the movie for me. I seriously sat there as the last few seconds of it rolled and thought, "Oh let me guess, she's going to open her new red vampire eyes and end scene." and thats exactly what happened. Can we say predictable and unoriginal anyone?
