I agree..dont get me wrong it was a good movie but I should have read the book after seeing the movie like I did with the first one. Reading the books frist makes you expect the movie to be way better than it ends up being and you expect so much more. I was disappointed that they didn't spend as much time as they could on some parts it was just hit the high point and jump on...
Also, can anyone tell me did the actress playing Rosalie change this time? She looked way different than before and Jasper and Esme too...maybe just the hair styles but they looked completely different to me.

I'm somewhat in agreement. I enjoyed the movie, but thought that they missed the story. There was too much focus on the new vamps instead of the underlying story....I would have liked it to stay more in tune with the book. I would have liked to see more "scenes" instead of so many close ups of everyone's faces. Like isn't it important to build up that Bella is applying to colleges...or that she's kidnapped by Alice and needs to get away...and what about Angela Weber's insightfulness...or when Edward comes home and they discuss how he's jealous.

Don't get me wrong, the movie was enjoyable. I felt this is the first movie where Kristin actually looked comfortable in her role. I also liked that the other characters got a chance to speak (although this is due to the book).
